    And to think we could've gotten this straight from Revell, instead of that frumpy Cadillac.

    The seller is Robert Burns, also a member here. He's the person who is working on multiple 3D printed, then resin cast bodies-- early Chevy Van, etc.

    The AMT 1/25 '94 Ford F-150 Lightning Pickup, due later this year:

    I agree, it appears the mold section where the cam cover cavities are never received any human attention to 'soften' the edges and corners. Fortunately, that can be corrected/fine tuned as the builder chooses, but out of the box, they look too 'machine made' to my eyes. The below cam covers carry no logo nor script, but they have definitely been polished, so not exactly freshly cast: Don Nicholson's '65 Comet: Not sure if these are factory cam covers or not, but they are definitely more rounded on the corners and edges:

    I can confirm they are the same tires found inside the vintage 1/25 Revell Chevy Stepside and 4x4 Chevy Van kits, and they all seem to be molded in the same waxy semi-firm material. This link might prove helpful to you: http://www.magazinepublisher.com/models/tires/tires.html

    As Rob said above, very much simplified with lots of molded in detail. Here's what the chassis and suspension look like: And the grille from Ben's Wanted post:

    The '23 T Delivery (AMT 860)? I would guess early 2014, since AMT 862, the '51 Chevy Bel Air kit, was released in March 2014. It's one of at least two kits which were going to have Pepsi branding/decals, but never happened, like the Pepsi-branded Vending Machine: The Vending Machine and '23 T Delivery were both later reissued with Coke decals, so maybe it was just a timing issue regarding the licensing.

    The box says "Molded in 4 Colors" so I'm guessing purple, black, light grey, and ??? This is the snap-together version, so it absolutely should come with a purple colored body.

    I'm betting a reissue of the D-50 will be announced before the end of 2018.

    It looks like someone with an eBay user ID (cynthirowlet0) very close to former Revell Senior Engineer Ron Rowlett is selling some built Revell model test shots, and presumably, is the same selling from which Jerry purchased his Model A: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Revell-1932-Ford-3-5-Window-Coupe-Conversion-1-25-Scale-PRE-PRODUCTION-Test-Shot/153099794001

    The headlights changed to rectangular in 1982, so this could be a '79-'81. I'm not horribly excited about this reissue TBH-- 30 pieces and lots of molded in detail everywhere.
  12. Casey
    I think that's all, as that's a scan of the original instruction sheet, at least the pertinent page with the accessories shown. Maybe more/some overlap between the various build versions here?:
  13. Casey
    I think Bandit Resin's '70 Plymouth Scamp is as close as you'll find, but they are not in production now: http://www.banditresins.com/1971_plymouth_scamp.html

    All of that info has already been posted here in the Model Trucks: News & Reviews section-- all you have to do is read the topics yourself to find out what's new and coming up in the next few months.

    Don't think anyone is too upset about missing out on this one, AMT 860:
  16. Casey
    Yes, but both the white and red versions were released in March of 2014.
  17. Casey
    Yes, hopefully they found the insert for the Police Van-specific parts, shown on the below instruction sheet: Two blue transparent beacon style lenses will probably be included, too, for this version.

    MPC 905 - 1/25 "Rat Trap" 1974 Chevy Vega Modified
  19. Casey
    AMT 1123 - 1/25 NYPD Chevy Police Van I'm guessing this version, with new decals?:
  20. Casey
    Pretty much the same kit as the Sheriff Roscoe's Police Car (MPC 707) reissued a few year ago, this time with new box art and a resin Joker figure. "Stock Dodge Monaco" might be a bit of a stretch with the super-deep steel wheels and matching tires, though...

    $4 ?

    So, amt was the "model car division" of...SMP?
  25. Casey
    No. In my opinion, all of the 1/16 Aurora Racing Scenes molds either never made it to Illinois in the first place or they were scrapped in the 1980 Monogram tooling inventory purge. I think that's exactly what we'll see. As for the BRAT, let's keep our fingers crossed:
