29 Ford Model A p/u with California street choper 1/25 scale
Dave Darby replied to Jack L's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The 29 Model A has larger diameter wheels, with smaller hubcaps than the 30-31. The 29 pickup kit had its own proper wheels, which potentially could still be the tool. -

The original issue Monogram 40 Ford Pickup had stock wheels and engine parts. The Revell 29 Model A PU originally also had stock wheels, but like the 40, no reissue has had them. Otherwise, all the stock Model A parts are present, including the interior. -
Looks great, and love the stance!

My guess is it'll be same content as usual, with the addition of the bike. Those mags were tooled to fit those tires.

And here I was just happy to see the 29 A pickup back! Lol.

Beautiful build! Tastefully done. The only thing I'd change is the zip code of the display case! -

Very cool truck. Deserving of a bump! It's got my favorite front tires on it, too! -
AMT Mustang II Hell Drivers Thrill show car

Looks like a Python on the bottom. I've never seen a built one before. Looks even better than the box art. -
Modelers in the social media age (of all genres) have become uncapable of not screaming from the roof tops about things they're not going to buy. I don't understand it either. But this is a monthly thing here and is really Pre-K/Day Care level of griping compared to the commentary Round2 gets on YouTube and Facebook when they post these updates. You should have seen the whine-fest that opened when I shared Atlantis' photos of the opened up Revell "60" really a 59 Corvette tool. People crying "don't reissue that, it's the WORST kit ever!" It's actually a very good kit. Oh, here's the photos.

The merger with Racing Champions not so much. It almost ended AMT/MPC.

The wheel wells are logged out for the Pro Stock version. I wouldn't hold my breath. Unless they tool another body. I'd like to see it, too. -

That would require a longer wheelbase chassis.

Love this build and thank you for calling out what paint you used. I actually have a can of that. I especially like the Sport Roadster treatment.
