I would think it would be better to add the wrecker bed to the pickup kit, since it is detailed better (though you may need to lengthen the chassis). Alternately, you could just cut out the fake engine and transplant a different one.

Revell 1/16 Jeep CJ-7, preferably molded in white.

My vote is for any variation of the non-snap AMT Chevy C1500 and Ford F-150 kits, as well as the Revell/Monogram Ford F-250/350 kits and new Meng F-350. The AMT kits come with great extra parts, and the Revell and Meng kits make great tow and work vehicles.

Some quick progress. Almost completed front trunk: Chassis painted and engine block/transmission installed. Also attempted to flock the carpeting (first time haha): Flares, scoops, and front bumper attached to body: Painted wheels in tires: Wheels, front bumper, and flares were received in a trade since I figured it would be easier than trying to make them myself.

So any updates by anyone? I'll probably be posting some pics later tonight.

Eh I disagree. It may have a larger lead now, but that's against other builds and not the other finalists. It's like calling one NHL team the winner of the cup in the semi finals simply because they won 4 games in a row against 1 team. It may turn out different against the other finalists (or it may not as well).

True the LP400 doesn't, but they made the LP400S, which did in fact have the spoilers and arches, it was made from 1978-1981. The LP500S went from 1982-1985, and after that it was the LP5000QV.

I think if it were the Hellcat being sold, then it would have to be full detail so the drivetrain could be swapped into other builds.

Got the rear wheels fixed for the most part, just have to do a little filling.

The kit I'm using is the Fujimi 1/16 LP500S "Enthusiast kit". Of course, I didn't notice until I opened it that it actually represents the '78-79 Series One LP400S, based on the wheels and smaller wheel flares. I prefer the looks of the early 80's version, so I'm going to modify the wheels and create new fender flares to make it more like the 1982-1984 LP500S version. Colorwise, it will be the very-80's triple white scheme, with white wheels, exterior, and interior. The kit I'm starting with:

Well I cracked open my kit, and figured out that they fumbled a bit when labeling the kit. It's claimed to be a LP500S, but all signs point to it being a Series One ('78-'79) LP400S, namely the wheels, and smaller wheel arches. I do prefer the looks of the early 80's LP500S, so I plan on modifying the wheels and fabricating new wheel arches to mirror this.

How so? Like ones with separate side panels?

I'll probably get started tomorrow haha, I have to dig mine out from the closet.

Might be tough since they never had a second generation of the Raider. You could make one though and have it be a concept, though you would need a LHD interior.

Looks like the Fujimi one is the smaller one (Pajero Jr. as they call it), not the full size like this one.

Looks like they may be doing another run of the 2dr Pajero kit, and it should be out in Japan by the end of the year. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10289557 I might pick one up to go with my Tamiya kit, since it appears to have similar exterior options.

I've decided on making mine the very 80's "triple white" version (exterior, interior, wheels).

I'll be building the 1/16 Lambo Countach LP500S.

I'd be building the 1/16 Countach LP500 kit. I'm still debating on the color though, since I'm not sure whether to go with one of the stock colors or a custom color.

Well I would be in if some other people join as well.

Seems like the community build section is pretty slow, may be because of how far down the page it is. Would this build include their 1/16 kits?

The side pods are the fuel tanks.
