Yes and no. I bought the first issue (93 I think). I started it, but still haven't finished it.

MPC Super Charger - 1974 Charger rundown

Similar reason I built one. My brother came home from the Navy in the 80s with this kit partially built in his stash. I wanted one since, and about 10 years ago I bought one from ebay. Also during that time frame I built several from my childhood. -
This one is just about done. I've worked off and on for about a year with it. I like day cabs, so I spliced in a rear cab wall from a scrap Amt LN kit. I scratchbuilt the headache rack. Not entirely happy with it, as it has a warp to it and the paint looks funny in person. I also replaced the fifth wheel plate with a Holland from my parts box. This one is from the Amt boxing of the kit. Final assembly was fussy. Maybe it's Italeri's plastic? I don't know, but glue didn't like it very much.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

I've built a handful as a teenager. I like the ability to better detail them, but display and storage was an issue. I mainly build trucks now, and there aren't many that are larger than 1/24.

I'd be up for a couple more. Mine needs a shelf mate. With a little work, and some parts box magic, you can build the kits engine into a stock-ish 400. -
I built this one from the MPC Sodbuster kit. I switched beds with the Deserter GMC, and filled the toolbox lines. 1/8 styrene blocks were turned into a suspension lift. Paint is Testors graphite dust. Wheels are from the new Revell Blazer.

Thanks! I mixed tamiya blue, green, and a tad of flat white.

Latest build. I don't have enough company trucks, so I added this one to the shelf. The frame was shortened, and Astro tanks and a parts box battery box were used. I bought the Budds on ebay. They're not as good as those I usually get from ST Supply, but they'll work. Air electric, and engine bay hoses were added. Decals are from the Cruiseliner kit.
