  1. 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.
  2. Out in February 2021, six new 1000 piece puzzles based on recent AMT box art, priced at $14.00 each:
  3. 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...
  4. Looks like this one's out and available:
  5. 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:
  6. I can't imagine the Revell Night Rider kit's engine bay would be any better than the Monogram kit's, but, maybe?
  7. 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
  8. The Big Guys use wood bucks/master just like the Little Guys:
  9. I was going to say, it looks exactly like the 1/12 scale kit, same color and all:
  10. RMR offers a '50 Chevy COE Panel Truck:
  11. And for comparison/reference the currently available(?) RMR (Resin Model Ranch) "1949 Mercury Led-Sled", which appears to be the body only:
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. Additional info regarding T&T Productions here: I want to say at least one other company/person offered the Hirohata Merc body in resin...
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Guess we can add this all-new kit to the list:
  18. 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.
  19. 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:
  20. 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.
