  1. Ah, then disregard my remark! ? Any thoughts on what you will paint orange on the body?
  2. Oof you made the same mistake I did on the rear suspension, not attaching the brake rotors before the suspension arms. You will have to trim them back if you want the brake rotors to sit properly! They definitely could have done a better job designing how it all goes together!
  3. I know the First Edition was a limited production run, so they probably didn't want to bother adding it to the brochure since they advertised it so heavily back then.
  4. The main differences are the model (363 V in this kit, 361 V in the El Camino kit), and with that the cabin layout. This one has the dual windshield cockpit, while the other one only had a single windshield cockpit. The ski rack has been included in the Bronco kit in the past, and you are correct that they are snow skis.
  5. I saw an old article that said it was so people could ride in the camper and have a good view if there wasn't enough space in the truck cab!
  6. Yeah after doing a quick Google search for "1963 slide in camper" I don't see anything that looks close to the kit camper. However, what I wouldn't give to have one of these for real! ?
  7. I know you’re probably talking older trucks, but I am hoping Round 2 will rerelease the 90s Ram 2500/3500 kits since they were willing to bring back the snap 90s Chevy kits!
  8. Yup the engine bay confirms this is the Ex-Monogram kit.
  9. The post also said that it will be coming out Q2 of this year!
  10. One thing I found with it is don't be afraid when it looks to be coating light at first. Just keep hitting it until you have a good coat, it rarely ever runs on me unless I'm overspraying trying to get a nook or cranny covered!
  11. Honestly, depends for me. I can't recommend enough Home Depot's Quick Color satin black for example. It is cheap ($1-2 a can last I checked), lasts me a while, and consistently sprays on great.
  12. You could use the engine from either of the s10 kits from Revell (1st gen) or AMT (2nd gen). The 1st gen would be more accurate for what you are looking for, but the 2nd gen engine could be used if someone wants to make a newer version with the dually grille (the intake would need to be modified). Edit: I'm not sure if the current S10 release has the stock engine parts, or if it only has the Syclone parts.
  13. They just need to use the James Bont license!
  14. Great build! I love the way you changed the overscaled wheels to look more like modern 20" wheels!
  15. Do the mods have the ability to still edit the title on behalf of users?
  16. Not quite, both were originally available at the same time. I believe the long bed chassis was actually modified for the short bed/stepside kits.
  17. Yeah, decals are one of the areas where they are east to add value to a kit for cheap. Luckily it looks like they have been increasing the decal amount in other kits, so hopefully they continue that here too!
  18. I mean it’s the Silverado trim, so they are partially correct!
  19. The wide body for the Charger is really just large fender flares, which wouldn’t really need body modification to attach.
  20. You're in luck actually, I believe they will be rereleasing that kit sometime this year.
  21. The look doesn’t matter, all Chargers RT and up use 20” wheels. Regardless, it is a good looking kit and I am down for at least one!
  22. Agreed, especially if you compare it to the box picture in the video thumbnail!
  23. Agreed! They could just call it a GMC Vandura Street Van.
  24. Since the Revell-o-gram Bronco is also being rereleased, and it being an '80-'81, it is good that the MPC kit will be an '82+ version.
