    It would be nice to see someone tool up a Defender in 1/24th. Lots of neat variations in the 1:1 over it's long run...

    I was in Walgreens last night and they had the laundry detergent pod packages locked up in alarmed clear plastic boxes. The cashier had to use a special key to open them. Locked up to keep people from eating them?

    Or use one of the resin cabs..there are some out there.

    I wouldn't try combining the 1/24th snowplow kit w/ the 1/25th Deserter..
  5. Rob Hall
    It's a Monogram-origin kit, not Revell. Revell's 1/25th GMC of the same era (last seen as a blue tow truck) has it's own problems--the molded in engine lump, roof plug, etc..

    They've done a couple '72 Gran Torinos in 1/43rd, wouldn't surprise me if they do one eventually in 1/24th.

    Never had the High Roller version...so basically the same GMC pickup as is out now w/ the snow plow, but without the snow plow and bigger tires, different suspension, maybe a few other different parts?

    Just a couple vendors I've done business with and like their parts...Clearly Scale has a variety of engines, seats, wheels and tires applicable to the PT genre, as does C1 Models has a variety of wheels, tires, body kits..there are many others out there also. http://www.clearlyscale.com http://www.c1-models.com

    I haven't seen anyone doing late 70s-80s style grilles..the kit grill is pretty weak, it's supposed to represent this style: This early 80s grille with the vertical bars would be nice to see...

    Bizzare weather here in Cleveland...warmed up over the last 24 hrs, all the snow melted, 61F right now and windy. Wind kept knocking over my wheely bins at the curb (trash day). Supposed to drop off sharply tomorrow with freezing rain, sleet, and snow into Saturday with highs dropping back to single digits....

    Got the Moebius '65 Plymouth Satellite Golden Commandos drag car today.
  12. Rob Hall
    Yep, got all that also. Though I don't use the remote start much since I have a garage. Not a heated garage, though. 57F today, going to change drastically in 24 hours though.

    It's funny...I had posted that, then thought about it a bit more.. oh well, we live in interesting times, right?
  14. Rob Hall
    Ouch! Yeah, I had updated my comment right after posting, I'm sure it's Round 2.
  15. Rob Hall
    True..their regular prices are no better than anyone else. Many of the upcoming AMT reissues are listed at $29.99...a bit stiff for a reissue. Though to be fair, Round 2 is probably raising prices..

    The free shipping always makes it a good deal for me for kits, vs. buying from Model Roundup or another online vendor. With the free shipping and a $10 promotional discount I got 3 of the new Cutlasses for about $20 each.
  17. Rob Hall
    Yeah, I buy a lot from Tower Hobbies..very quick turnaround...I think I get them shipped from an Illinois location, get them in 3 days usually.
  18. Rob Hall
    True, maybe the 'new' Browns inherited the grudge along w/ their historical record, etc..
  19. Rob Hall
    Seems really weird to think of Pirelli tires in a Hot Rod kit.
  20. Rob Hall
    I've been getting the Fireball Modelworks BF Goodrich Radial T/As to use on the '83 Hurst Olds and '85 442. Not sure about the FE3-X, need something wider.
  21. Rob Hall
    Some kits do have undersized wheels and tires...Revell in particular known for it..like the C6 Corvette ZR-1--the wheels and tires were way undersized. The recent early 70s Ford Bronco has undersized wheels. The '83 and '85 Old Cutlasses have undersized tires, esp. for the FE3-X version. Many of their Revell of Germany models as well....
  22. Rob Hall
    I know! But we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
  23. Rob Hall
    Yeah, been less severe here in the Cleveland area..have maybe 6 inches in my yard.
  24. Rob Hall
    Been 'warming' up yesterday and today (mid 30s today) after the deep freeze...supposed to be in the 50s Thursday..all the snow will melt in my yard...then ice and snow Fri and the weekend.. :(
  25. Rob Hall
    Given Belichick's history with the Browns, I'm not surprised how that turned out..
