Most of the Merlins I have seen has also been black...that goes for both the Rolls Royce and Packard versions.

looks to be 22" for both seasons.

It's not unlikely.

Yes it looks like it, if you look closely you can read "RADI" behind the LLC/Squawtyna Films LLC text. The trucks for season 2 were 1975 models and had the tires in the picture above, the trucks for season 1 were 1974 and they had the more agressive tread pattern in the earlier picture, wich can be Good Year Bias Ply tires.

The 1939-48 59AB and 1949-53 8BA/8CM should have 24 studs or bolts for the heads, the model manufacturers haven't allways done this correct as some kit heads of these engines only have 21 wich is only right for the first version from 1932-38.

Yes some of them are back, I ordered a couple of sets together with some other things this weekend.

Pavel does nice truck kits of interesting subjects But unfortunately he does them in batches (I don't know how many in each batch) as I understand it, wich sells out fast, and when they are sold out he will not make any more so when they are gone, they are gone. And he doesn't sell individual parts...I asked him a while ago as I need a Page & Page 60/40 rear suspension for a project wich he did for his Kenworth Bullnose kit and I think in the Peterbilt 351 kit in the picture above also have that suspension...I'm not sure tho'.

The regular K100 had the same dash as in the kits, but as they are Aerodyne Cab Overs they should have the "Aerodyne dash" wich came with the Aerodyne cab in 1976, the regular flat top K100 later got this dash too.

The K200 Aerodyne is 109.99 Euro on their website. You might also like to have a bull bar and stone guard for 9.99 Euro, rear fenders for 11.99 Euro, A&N has a KW Air Glide 400 kit now wich will be right for this truck and it's 24.95 Euro, a Cummins X15 for 17.31 Euro, you might also need some rims 1.23 X 10 = 12.30 euro, tires 2.15 X 8 for rear = 17.20 Euro, and 2.23 X 2 for front = 4.46 Euro, front hubs with caps 1.99 Euro. Let's see, 109.99 + 9.99 + 11.99 + 24.95 + 17.31 + 12.30 + 17.20 + 4.46 + 1,99 = 210.18 Euro (around $238.30 US, $335.52 AUS) just for cab kit and parts, on that the shipping...and you still need a donor kit for the chassis and some other parts....ohh boy, it adds up. But after what I have seen it looks to be a very nice model. A&N also has a K200 flat top now for 104.99 Euro

I don't have a problem with the separate roof section the Revell kits has, if you don't want it as a loose piece just glue it down on the cab and it will stay there. There are other issues with the Revell kit I don't like that much.

I think they are Good Year tires, model...I don't know.

Both are decent, the Revell kit has a Cummins NTC475 and manual transmission, the AMT kit has a Detroit Diesel 8V-92 with an Allison automatic...and as been said, the Revell kit is more detailed. But none of them has the correct interior if you want to do a Bicentennial Edition as both have diamond tufted interiors, the Bicentennial doesn't have that, the interior in them has a combination of rosewood and blue fabric with some white, red and blue vinyl accents here and there...and as Phil says, none of them has the correct Aerodyne dash wich came with the Aerodyne cab in 1976. I believe Revell did the roof separate as they use the same basic kit for both the K100 Flat Top and K100 Aerodyne and the roof section is the only thing different.

Maybe Round2 got paid by Coca Cola to use the logo on their kits, Coca Cola Company spends around $4 billion per year on advertising globaly so I don't think it's impossible.

Sad indeed.

They are also called SAR

Yes I know, I contacted him a while ago but the kit was out of stock and he didn't want to sell individual parts. He said he would get back to me when the kits came back in stock but I have not heard from him since so I assume they are still out of stock. But Rico contacted me about a week ago and said he could do them for me if I had patience, so I shot lots of reference pictures for him with measurements so he can do them right.

Nice paint job.

Okay. It might not be that exact hauler but I know Junior Johnson used Peterbilts many years.

Looking really good Rico, I've got more pictures for you as I promised and they are uploaded to my Fotki, I sent you a message with the link. I will also get several sets of these when they are done.

As far as I know Bill Elliott drove the No 11 car for Junior Johnson 1992-94 before starting his own team in 1995.

I don't think this hauler is Bill Elliott's, if you look closely at the rear of the trailer you see the "Mongoose" logo, so this looks to be Tom "The Mongoo$e" McEwen's transporter, and Tom was sponsored by Coors for a while...but the truck is a Ford allright, CL9000. Bill drove Fords for a long time so some of the trucks would be Ford CL9000, L9000 and Aeromax, later towards the end of his carieer when he drove Dodge the transport trailer was hauled by a Freightliner Century and Coronado. Here are some of Bill's haulers from different years I had in my files. Freightliner Coronado Ford CL9000 and Aeromax and a C series. Ford Aeromax Freightliner Century Peterbilt 359 Kenworth K100 Ford CL9000

The teams Bill Elliott raced for used several tractors and trailers so it depends on team and year, Ford, Freightliner, Peterbilt and Kenworth are some of the tractors I have seen used for Elliott's haulers. The trailers they have used in racing the last 25 years has two stories, the rear door is a lift gate so the cars are on the upper floor and you can have two cars there, the bottom floor is the "shop" where they have all parts and tools, work benches, storage cabinets and such, and in front goose neck of the trailer there is a lounge or office. Most racing teams use Featherlite trailers specially built for racing, but there are other manufacturers out there. The old AMT racing transporter model from 1990 is not really correct for time period, it's the old Trailmobile moving van with some new parts to make it to a race car transporter and only holds one car, back in the late 70's when racing teams started to use 18 wheel haulers they often used moving vans but by late 80's and early 90's the purpose built racing transporter trailers was widely in use and they are very sophisticated today. The tractor AMT had in mind to haul their racing transporters was the Kenworth T600A Canepa but you can use whatever tractor you want.

Yes most likely, I don't have the skills to do that myself as I have no training in CAD or a CAD program. But I do have a lead.

Since about three years I own a 63½ Galaxie 500 XL so I do have some knowledge about them. All wheels was 14 inch and you could get either the regular wheel cover...these were also available without the spinner. Or the optional wire cover This is also a style of wheel cover used on 63 Galaxies but I don't know if it was available on XL's. My car was delivered from the factory with the wire caps...but I have 7X15 and 8X15 wheels with the poverty caps on it now as I like the look, that's why I'm looking for them so I can do a model of my car. Here is a new picture as the one in my first post disappeared...this is my car by the way.

You're welcome, glad to be able to help.
