    This is why I bought 4. One bone stock, one lifted with 35s, and the other two to become M1009s in the future. I actually put a shout out about this very thing. M1009 Military conversion for the upcoming Revell Hopper's K5 Blazer - Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed - Model Cars Magazine Forum

    Got a few more deliveries. It is like Christmas, only in February and I have to pay Santa back or he charges 21% interest. LOL Baja Bug conversion kit with exhaust, Jackman wheels, and tires are from Texas 3D Bronco Roadster door inserts, and mirrors are from Iceman Collections Baja Bronco, and dually wheels, off-road tires are from EBAY This is my 5th time ordering from Iceman. His stuff is outstanding. My first with Texas 3D. I would have to say the same. Outstanding.

    After checking compatibility between the new Revell ST Hopper's Blazer, and the MPC Deserter/Sod Buster kits, I found the hood and grill do not fit. Most dimensions are spot on like the fender length, and door length. So, check dimensions before kit bashing or ordering aftermarket. Especially in the grill hood area.

    Thanks Still waiting on a Baja Bronco kit, some stuff from Texas 3D, Fireball, and Iceman. They all make great pieces.

    Wife said I need to stop collecting and start building. I said after I get the Stranger Things Blazer, I will stop for a while. So, I made a big purchase of Models I have wanted, making the Blazer last. Also got some decals. Most of it showed up today. Wife told me I had some explaining to do. I have wanted this body style blazer model kit since the mid 80s. After 40 years of waiting Revell rocks it. The detail is great.

    This thread has win written all over it. I love where this is going.

    I have been working on both for a couple years. Project X 57 Chevy "Hollywood Knights version", and Larry Schwacofer's Class 6 1955 Chevy. I think I am going to strip the 55 and start over. I could not find any decals, so I tried to make my own stripes the way I thought it should look. The tires are too big, and protrude way too far out, and the rear wheel wells need to be opened up more. I plan to strip the paint, and repaint Orange, narrow suspension, smaller tires, and open the rear wheel wells. Project X is just a slow build. The wheels are just sitting under the car in the pic. The suspension for the rear is not done yet.

    I did not really hear a release date for the model, but yesterday I was able to purchase 4 kits to build. I am so excited as I have wanted this kit since I was a kid. An 80s version of the K5. I think Monogram had a mid to late 70s version with chrome wagon wheels, but this is the first 82-91 body.

    Ordered 4 kits off ebay a few days ago. For some stupid reason, I got a message from the seller they were sold out. Anyways when I got home today, I got an alert from Megga Hobby that the Blazer was now in stock, so I ordered 4 from them plus an additional kit to get free shipping. Just watched HPIGuy on YouTube unbox it, and boy is it detailed. Enjoy yours

    Very nice collection.

    I would rock that all day long. It screams "Let loose and get creative." Have fun with it.

    I found a couple more orphans at Wal-Mart. So I adopted them!
  15. WillyBilly
    Seems it is released someplace.

    Mother of pearl!!!!!!!!!!! The Blazer is now available? Outstanding!!
  17. WillyBilly
    Agreed. I am trying to figure chassis and drivetrain now. I am thinking Cadillac Escalade for the drivetrain.
  18. WillyBilly
    And he did. He made a few, and I got two sets.

    Progress is slow, but steady. 4X4 flares from Few Sprues Loose.

    What a great build. Love the work so far.
  21. WillyBilly
    I am not sure which was first. I think the Lug Bug, then the Desert Rat. I think the Lug bug was molded in Yellow, and the Desert Rat was molded in orange.

    I remember building the Smoky along with Cop Out. Two great kits. I think I had the 57 too, but it was the Fairlane or crown vic kit, not the race car. Both kits are great. Nice find.

    I found a few orphaned kits at Walmart, so I adopted them. Then a quick stop to HL for some primer.
  24. WillyBilly
    I am digging this build for sure. Can't wait to see the finished product.
  25. WillyBilly
    Not much to report. Put some primer on it to see where I was at. I have a bit more work. Might give it a guide coat to help level everything out.
