The original kit had green tinted windows and did NOT include a sleeper..... There was a mail in offer to allow the builder to buy the sleeper separately.... The second release did have clear windows and did include the sleeper.... IIRC both releases 1 and 2 were issued as T-500....

Tower Hobbies shows a May release date.... That tells me there is another load on the way....

I had it on 150 on Dish.... Later there was a basketball game on.... They flashed at the bottom of the screen that the race had resumed, and I could not find it on Dish... I had to switch over to Expressvu and caught it on there....

Agreed.... It was a good race right to the finish.... Ticked off with the coverage though.... After the rain delay, I had a heck of a time finding which channel it was on....

I scored 100%....I grew up with all these cars... Don't ask me to do it with todays lookalike BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH....

Are those for the Road Runner from Super Stock Magazine?...

Jason....What did you use to do such a fantastic job here?... I've never had results like that when polishing used wheels....

Nice...Very Nice.... But, now you have got to do a convertible... Bill...

It's been a busy day today... 1) My second Revell Cuda....Good Chrome, and oddly placed Decals in both... 2) A second International 4300 kit to go with the one I bought at the Macomb Show a few weeks ago... 3) Another AMT Flatbed Trailer kit.... 4) And finally an AMT Re-issue 56 Ford Victoria....I bought my first one in 1969... Heading over to a Hobby Shop Closing Sale tomorrow to buy myself an early Christmas Present.... Later...

While I do enjoy the results of the building process, I just can't stand the IDIOTIC PRANKING that go's on, on these types of shows.... I believe i'll .......PASS.......

Hi Rick... I like your idea of an updated version of Sonny's Truck... In model fantacy world he and Will could have expanded and took on brokers... All KW's mind you... W-900, T-600, Cabovers, Whatever... Go for it... Bill....

This story has been told numerous times over the years... The remaining molds were ravaged by irate employees because they were not being paid... The inserts for most of the tooling was sold for scrap by them... The sad fact is there is just not enough left of what once was the famous Johan Model Company to even consider these days... It's over !!!... Bill...

WOW Roy,....I really like this build....

With all the Tractor kits being re-issued, what we really need are trailers... 1) Great Dane Reefer 2) Great Dane Dry Van 3) Livestock Trailer 4) Allied Moving Van 5) almost forgot, Auto Haulaway Trailer And just because it has been needed for so long, a brand new 53 ft. Reefer/ Dry van...

I saw that too... I also saw that Tom fixed the problem you had... Why did you decide to bitch about it here?... Bill...

The wheels in the Blazer kit had 6 lug wheels IIRC....

The Modified Stocker Truck Wheels are standard issue Ford Truck, and this is not it...

Hi John... $50.00 is just the SUGGESTED retail price... The kit actually sold for $34.00 at the show in Wayne N.J.... I've been cruising the online dealers for pricing, and find it at $39.00 most places... Later, Bill..

Hi Roy.. Tell us what paints you used to do this.. It really looks good.. Bill..

Ryan... I'm interested in your two hole budds for semi trucks... Can you e-mail me so we can talk?... bb555657@hotmail.com Thanks, Bill...

Dennis.... You can reach John from the contact page at Round 2 IIRC.... Bill....

It is a very nice kit to build... I built one way back in 1995... It does have a very long frame, so I shortened it by one section, and it looks AOK now...

Greg Myers....I've been a daily visitor over there for years, and have NEVER had a problem at all... I think it's unfair to Tom and his crew to point a finger and say it's their fault ,when really it's probably your own for not being carefull about what you opened...

I'm really liking this Van Idea....

Checked out the Facebook page of a member over at Spotlight, and it sure looks like nothing new, and a handful of re-releases... Pics are mostly old news releases from past year... BB
