Thanks, all. I'll see if I can nail down which kit that 4-slot wheel is from. The Crazy Horse Pinto F/C and Tuff Truk both seems like good possibilities.

Lindberg 1/8th scale Big Red Rod, no chrome???

Out in February 2021, six new 1000 piece puzzles based on recent AMT box art, priced at $14.00 each:

Yes, that should have been very obvious to me, hence the facepalm. That was the first and only similar four-slot wheel which came to mind, but this one is actually quite nice. The backside did not have a molded in stub for a metal axle, but I did sand down the backside a bit already, so not much help to post a pic of the backside. Guess I have more research to do...

I have a few more wheels I could use some help to positively identify: Top row: White four-slot from AMT '57 Chevy Bel Air American Racing "Gambler" wheel from...?? MPC kit, maybe? American Racing "Gambler" wheel from 1/24 Monogram '39 Chevy Coupe (and probably others) Second row: Cragar ????? wheels from AMT '66 Chevy Nova Pro Street Third row: Centerline 928 style wheels but with lug nut and lug nut bore hole detail. I think someone may have once mentioned these are from an '80s MPC Corvette or Firebird kit? First wheel is very deep, second and third closer to a 7" deep wheel, and the fourth, black wheel has been sanded thinner, but appears to be the same as the second and third wheels. Fourth row: Centerline ?? or Cragar Super Trick wheels from MPC(?) '74 Barracuda "Pro Street" kit(?). I had this kit long ago and the rear wheels were very deep, but these don't seem quite as orange as I remember, and are more orange-red. #3 and #4 in row four are very similar to #1 and #2, but the bolt circle is a tiny bit larger, there is a step at the top of the center cap, and the bulge on the face is slightly less pronounced. Wheels #5 and #6 are very similar, but different from #1-#4, having acorn style lug nuts with no protruding lug stud. I think these are all 1/25 scale, and likely MPC. Rows 1 and 2 below: *edit* Good info and some answers here:

History of Monogram's Ford Pickups 1980-1991
Casey replied to Fabrux's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I can't imagine the Revell Night Rider kit's engine bay would be any better than the Monogram kit's, but, maybe? -
Just stumbled upon the Worthpoint page for Harry's model after it was listed on eBay. I hope it went to an appreciative new owner. ? https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/minicraft-16-1933-12-cadillac-town-1933707650

1950 (or so) Chevrolet Panel Truck
Casey replied to 1st 700 Quad's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
RMR offers a '50 Chevy COE Panel Truck: -
And for comparison/reference the currently available(?) RMR (Resin Model Ranch) "1949 Mercury Led-Sled", which appears to be the body only:

Firebird box, I like: Camaro box, less so: I'm guessing Round2 has no desire to release the Hull Raiser boat as a stand alone kit? The '60 Chevy Pickup had the go kart, and the '68 El Camino the Soap Box Derby car, so I'm trying to think of a different candidate to pull the boat...The AMT Chevy Van kit might work, in the spirit of the Aquarod set?

I haven't seen a release date anywhere online yet, but late 2Q 2021 seems reasonable. Looking forward to this one for sure, as I'm sure many others are, too.

Additional info regarding T&T Productions here: I want to say at least one other company/person offered the Hirohata Merc body in resin...

Yes, it has a ton of traditional hot rod parts, and I agree the two-piece tires are not great. I don't think Lindberg's box art helped, either.

I received the recent-ish reissue in trade a year or so ago, and was surprised just how petite this car is. There are plenty of one-off custom parts, and some other things/sub-assemblies which could be kitbashed, but there's no a whole lot to this kit in terms of mass. The dual stripe slicks and tires are cool, and you get four slicks, so that's a nice bonus, too.

American 1:25 scale four door sedan and wagon promos and kits
Casey replied to Junkman's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews

OK, so it's actually a Dodge Coronet, but the MPC Dodge Monaco would work just fine. I think the Goodyear Suburbanite tires would be too small for a full size car like this, but fortunately Scenes Unlimited has a few options which would work.

1970 Ford Galaxie 500 reissue : I added Factory Reference Material
Casey replied to migace's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
No idea if it will or not, but it would make sense. Round2 released the NYC Auxiliary Services sheet a few year ago, so probably not a huge leap to create a generic NYC cab company(ies) logo(s): There's really not much in the way of logos and/or decoration on an early '70s era taxi anyway, so the decal sheet needn't be huge: -
History of Revell's Squarebody Pickup kits
Casey replied to kalbert's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
No, the 1/24 scale kits are originally Monogram designed kits, even if they are now labelled as Revell. The 1/25 Revell kit hasn't been available for close to 15 years now, but it's entirely different than the 1/24 scale Monogram designed kit.
