According to someone on IMCDB who claims their dad owned the car, this is pretty much it. Also, apparently the stereo didn't work so they had a boombox in the back seat playing the music! I would think though the wheels and tires would be more playing to the idea that Billy still thinks that look is the "cool" thing.

Yeah, they are the 8-spoke chrome truck-style. The wheels from the AMT '80s GMC truck kit would scale out to around 20" in 1/25 scale (since they are from the 1/20 kits originally), but they are 8 lug so you would have to modify the center hub.

I thought about this thread the other day when I started working on (or rather fixing the mistakes on) the AMT 1978 Ford Pickup "Super Stones" kit. The box art clearly shows a 133" wb long box truck, and yet the kit itself is (IMO) the ugliest and worst looking of all the configurations, the 140" wb camper/trailer special. You can't make a regular long box or even a short box without a bunch of scratchbuilding, since the passenger bedside has the internal mounted spare tire, and thus the internal bed sides are completely different. At least the Model King issue used box art of the actual kit. After looking at the past kits on Scalemates, it looks like they used the regular long box on all the box tops. However it appears the original release, at least, does show the correct kit truck on one of the box sides.

True, it may be more locational nowadays. My comment above though doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see more 1/12 kits, I actually have around 14 in my collection. I'm on the same page with a 1/12 MOPAR, though I was thinking maybe a '70 Cuda based on their recent kit.

These days, 1/8 and 1/12 kits are a hard sell, and it seems rare that more will come out unless they are older kits that they rerelease. I really think Revell needs to re-release some more of their 1/16 kits, as well as make new ones. They are only slightly larger than the popular 1/18 diecasts, and they still allow for more detailing like the 1/12 and 1/8 kits.

I bought mine from an art supplies store since they had the full range of colors and styles.

Meng is also coming out with a 1/12 kit soon, however it should be a little cheaper since it will be all plastic.
-
Another thing I'm not sure how many people know is Molotow makes their paint pens in other colors, not just the chrome that is popular here. They are a bit pricier than just using sharpies, but I find they coat better. I have a 2mm satin black, a chisel-tip satin black, and a 1mm white.

Wheel/tire combo question
Jordan White replied to LL3 Model Worx's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Joseph will, he's good about that. He may not get back right away, but I've always gotten a response back from him within a couple days. He's also a member here, Chief Joseph. -
I just saw this thread since I didn't realize this was the 1/16 kit until now! Do you have any pics of the engine before you put the body on? Also do you have a pic of the underside at all?

His set of 15" minilites do come with tires it looks like. -
Will we ever see the Monogram S-10 again?
Jordan White replied to Jim H.'s topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Nothing wrong with a few duplicate parts! ? -
Will we ever see the Monogram S-10 again?
Jordan White replied to Jim H.'s topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Looking at the timelines on Scalemates, one would think that they still have the S10 inserts since every version of the S10 was released after the initial Syclone kit was sold. When did they start using the Revell-Monogram logo on the boxes though? I'm confused why the Syclone is a Revell box and the S10 is a Monogram box (until the 3n1, where it became Revell), and they both came out after the two companies merged. I really think they should combine the two kits and sell it with both Chevy and GMC parts. That way you could make a stock S10, stock Sonoma (both 2WD or 4WD), stock Syclone, stock Sonoma GT, and any combination of those. Plus with the optional custom parts, the sky's the limit! Realistically though, that wouldn't happen since they could get more money selling them separately. -

Happen to have any pictures of it? -
Lindberg F150 chassis build
Jordan White replied to olschoolkid's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Probably would make more sense if you had to get a second kit. Granted, if you don't care about accuracy too much, you could just use the Lindberg kit and modify the front suspension to be a 2WD setup. You would have to remove the torsion bars, obviously not install the front axle, and add some coil springs. -
Lindberg F150 chassis build
Jordan White replied to olschoolkid's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Actually the AMT kit does have a long bed. You would have to find a Lightning kit to get the same wheelbase as the Lindberg kit. -

Jordan White replied to Andrew D the Jolly Roger's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
According to the brochure for the '79 Golden Eagle, it would have had full brown carpeting. https://www.xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1979-Jeep.pdf -
Thanks so far! I do like how it turned out for being just a quick build. The wheels I’ve had for a while and was trying to find the right kit to put them on, and I agree they do work very well.

This is the AMT snap kit 1994 Mustang GT coupe. It was painted Duplicolor GM Bahamas Blue Metallic, with a white and black interior, and Fujimi 18" Zeit wheels. It was a quick rebuild, just back to basics. I built this kit back in the late 90s brand new, and decided it would be fun to do it over again. Oh, and it has mirrors from the AMT 1994 Trans Am kit because I lost the kit mirrors probably 20 years ago while playing with it. ?

I'm surprised no one bothered to fix that rear tire when they took the pictures.

Off road tires
Jordan White replied to MoparOrNoCar94's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Fireball Modelworks and Scenes Unlimited both sell larger diameter off-road tires, though not exactly 38". -
It's Revell, I would be surprised to see them make a "modern" Land Rover kit when they haven't even yet made a glue 6th gen Mustang or non-snap current F150. Those Land Rover subjects would be more likely under Fujimi or Aoshima, maybe Tamiya though they seem to have cut back on the new subjects.

Kit shown in the warehouse video. Looks like the snowboard is surprisingly included, it also comes with the correct 2WD wheels, and the incorrect 4WD wheels.
