Here are a few images I took of both the 2007 Goodguys (last reissue, I think?) and 1995 Early Iron reissue kits: https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1660/24-monogram-model-ford-woody

Picked up this one to pair with the BSA I bought earlier this year:

I wouldn't put too much faith in their dates. The Henry J is already out, available, and ready to ship from multiple eBay sellers.

I think it might've been Terry Jessee who mentioned the door handles and possibly that the mold broke in half...would have to some digging to find the post. *edit* Found it: Not sure how this worked, but (again) going on memory, I want to say an outside company produced tires for MPC, possibly the same place in Windsor, ON, which molded kits for them...also discussed in a topic here, sort of. I don't think any other Monogram kits included the Desert Dog PCV tires, though?

The odd tire substitution and poor fit were mentioned on page one: Expanded image:

I'm not sure that's possible. While we should never say never, consider the following: The last time the Blazer was issued was 1980 The Pulldozer (Blazer body sans removeable cap) was issued in 1982 The only reissues since 1980 have been of the Pulldozer version The Sheriff's Blazer was announced/shown for re-issue in 1994, but was never re-issued (possibly not enough dealer pre-order interest) None of which eliminate the possibility of a reissue, but when factored together, the likelihood of that happening seems slim. Then again, the Chevy LUV reissue came mostly out of nowhere, so we'll keep our fingers crossed. I found this image of a built Sheriff's Blazer, which has both the Desert Dog PCV tires and the tiny door handle:

I saw it advertised as a "'69 Camaro SS 396", so I think it will be the BBC. The only SBC Revell has for their '69 uses the Cross Ram intake setup, so I doubt they'd retool a new/different intake now. Offering the SS hood with separate chrome plated inserts is smart move-- one can only have so many models with Cowl Induction hoods. Some of these were mentioned by James a few months ago here...: ...so I'm going to add everything mentioned there, and anything announced since then, here, for 2022 release: 4516 -- 1/25 Revell 1937 Ford Pickup 2'n 1 4517 -- 1/25 Revell 1967 Corvette Coupe 4520 -- 1/24 Revell 1966 Chevrolet Malibu SS 2'n 1 4521 -- 1/24 Revell 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe 4522 -- 1/24 Revell 1970 Buick GSX 2'n 1 4525 -- 1/25 Revell 1969 Camaro SS 4527 -- 1/24 Revell Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 07707 -- 1/16 BMW Isetta Coca-Cola 07110 -- 1/18 1979 Pontiac Trans Am

It's about as close to perfection in scale as I've ever seen. It has The Look, and you know it instantly. ?

I don't think a Mojave Mule reissue is possible at this point, given the Tom Daniel-Revell bad feelings which still exist, but I think we're fortunate the fleetside bed Luv was reissued not too long ago. Fab up a few buzzard bars for the windshield, scour eBay for a set of those one-off wheels, and dig through your parts bin for the Goodyear big 'n' little Rally GTs and you're most of the way there. Here it is in the 1978 Monogram catalog:

You did. ? Have you tried fitting them inside other kit or aftermarket tires? I'm guessing the former Gates XT Commando (now Firestone something-or-other) tires will again be included, but it'd be good to have other options lined up when the kit arrives. Also, does the grille have the 'temple' (best word I could think of to describe them) depressions like the 1:1 grille does? I can't tell from the images already posted in this topic.

Contents of the 2004 RC2-era reissue here: https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1628/amt-ford-600-stake-truck Not going to post an image of the awful box art, but rather I'll got with this shot of the beautiful detail on the nose emblem and F O R D lettering:

I did an eBay completed items search and found this vintage Wild Hoss kit, and the wagon wheels have lug nuts and hubs/caps with nice detail: I don't know of the Model King release included the above wheels with full detail (I would assume so), but it will be nice to have them easily available again.

Looking at one of the images Tim A posted in his OTW topic, I see sleepers(?) have been added to the top of the frame rails:

Was a manual trans available? If so, do any other 1/25 scale kits include it? Hoping Round2 goes the extra mile and provides some Free Wheeling decals, too: Also acceptable, and maybe even preferable:

Canadians get all the cool stuff. ?

I don't think it will be. The previous USPS branded kits were subjects previously seen on stamps, while the Pinto and forthcoming Ford C-series and Trailer kit were. I think it's just a case of Round2 taking advantage of the USPS licensing while they have it.

Picked up a few things today ?

I purchased a 1/25 Revell "Dream Car" turbine engine kit a few weeks ago, with the hope of installing it in this truck, so I stripped the engine parts' chrome plating, assembled some pieces, and generally tidied things up. I will not be building the turbine engine as it comes-- creative liberties will be taken, but I will try to keep things believable for the most part. Here's where the engine is at so far, with the first image also containing a '60s Chevy I6 for comparison: Below, the exhaust pipe and flange are (almost) resting against the engine, and are not yet attached: Very loose test fit of the red bellhousing/mount on the '66's stock frame:

Only one Squarebody kit remained in the Revell lineup by 1988: 1991 Revell catalog:

From the 1985 Revell catalog:
