Maybe they just updated it then? I wonder if it also has the Triton badges for the front fenders? Something I noticed on this boxart is that Revell has the kit grille and bumper photo shopped on the full scale pickup. You can actually see the glue on the lense on the left headlight.

The Supercab Flareside and the regular cab longbed I have both have 4.6L engraved on the air intake.

Isn't this kit 2wd also? I have one somewhere in the stash. But, never really looked at it since it was a LWB. If it is 2wd, it shouldn't have the Off Road package. I just bought the AMT kit. I want to convert it to a styleside Lightning. I never liked the flareside box on this generation F-150. Even on the Lightning. Edit: All of the Revell F-150s are 2wd. The Extra Cab Flareside and longbed regular cab both have the wrong wheels as they're the 17" alloy wheels that were only available on the 4wd models. Both come with the 4.6 and automatic. If you want a 4wd F-150, the Lindberg kit is the only kit that has it. Hard to believe that Revell didn’t make a least one of their versions a 4wd. Especially the Extra Cab Flareside.

Check with Motor City Resin. They offer (or did) a '63 Fairlane. They may sell the grille and bumpers separately.

It had a long bed on the box. But, it was actually a short bed.

The Amish contribute more to pollution than anyone. They burn wood, trash, wool from sheep etc. You name it. They burn it. Then there's their outhouses too. Nasty people. I had them for a neighbor. They're nothing like what people think. I'm glad they moved!

That kit needs to stay wherever it is. The proportions on it are awful. Not to mention the interior and chassis. On the other hand, it is time for Revell to reissue the '68 Firebird. Prices on it are ridiculous!

Please post up your emergency vehicles to honor those that gave everything to save others. This is the only thing I have. We will never forget!

Why would it take a year to do a reissue? Or is it a new tooled kit?

Would've like to have had the option of scratch building on the "What is your favorite part of building?" question. That or foil work. Maybe add the option to fill in the blank?

It was reissued a couple of years ago.

Don't forget the COE International Transtar and the Garwood garbage truck. There's also the new Charger and Bronco coming.

I'd use the AMT Parts Pack Firestone WWW tires. I have heated tires with a lighter to make them soft for a minute. It makes mounting them a lot easier. Definitely don't use a block of wood and a hammer!

I'm not a fan of the stock '32 Vickie body. But, I think it or the sedan would look cool on that chassis. Hmmmmm.

I saw a built model of one. It was cool as all get out! Found it! I think the Cameo bed would work better so that the Badman could go above the rear wheels.

It's pretty obvious. The decals have two 327's on them. Look where the front wheel opening would be on the flag decals.

I'm back on this one for a minute. Hopefully, until it's done this time around. I was able to steal a bit of time and was able to make some pretty good progress. I have the chassis, floor pan, door panels, dash, roll bar, underside of the hood, engine, radiator support and rearend in paint. I'm hoping I can steal enough time to get the body and hood cleared too. We'll see. I still have to paint the tops of the door panels body color. But, I have to wait until the satin black is dry. I also have to pick out a pair of seats. I don't like the seats from the Moebius kit and the Nova seats won't work either.

Looks like it has both the "Badman" and the street machine wheels and tires. I don't remember the rear slicks sticking out that far though.

I doubt it. More than likely, they're the same slots that always came in the black street machine version.

Believe it or not, a good paint job starts with good prep. I always sand the entire body with 400 grit first. That knocks down any high spots and will show any low spots. After putty work is done, I shoot a light coat of primer and sand with 600. If all is good, I shoot three coats of primer and sand with 1000. Then I'll spray two coats of paint. Allow it to dry a day and barely sand with 1000. I then spray one coat of paint and one coat of clear. Allow that to dry a day and sand with 2000. Spray two more coats of clear. Allow it to dry a few days. I spray clear over every paint whether it's a solid or metallic color for two reasons. 1 It acts as a gauge when it comes time to polish. As long as I don't see color on the cloth I polish with, I know I'm safe. If I see color on the cloth, I know to back off on that area. 2 It gives a deeper and better shine in my opinion. Once the paint has dried well, I barely sand with 2000 grit. Just enough to knock down any orange peel. Then I switch to 4000 grit and get the clear as perfectly smooth as possible. Then I go over it with the Tamiya Polishing Compounds: Course, Fine and Finish. This stuff is a game changer when it comes time to polish! It's a bit expensive. But, it's worth every single penny and then some! I wouldn't paint without it!

Maybe Round2 feels they can't make a profit on the '71-'72 Road Runner. If the molds are too damaged and they would have to start over, they probably couldn't. I'd like for Round2 to reissue the unibody Ford pickups. But, just because that's what I want, doesn’t mean Round2 could make a profit on it. Just like anything else, if you want it bad enough, you'll pay for it. If you don't, you'll do without.

The Custom actually came with the small chrome strip also. My dad bought a '75 F-100 new. It had the small chrome strip and was two toned. White above the strip and a reddish orange below. It also had the chrome strips on the tailgate. After a tailgate and left fender mishap, he had the whole truck painted red.

Yours may have came with the Desert Dogs. There could have been a mid run change or something. Are your tires like these?

The Model King version came with the Firestones. The box art builds have the Desert Dogs on all three of them. But, it actually came with the Firestones. It also didn't come with the stripes that are shown on the black version. I was disappointed when I opened mine up.

Thanx Tommy and Scott! I'll do a tutorial on the '68 Road Runner when I get a chance. I don't plan to build it just yet. But, I can go ahead and get the body done.
