  1. Where did you find the pic Casey? Are there any better ones of the wheels?
  2. They do have the snap kit of a 4dr soft top model, but it would be cool to have a full detail kit that could be built in any of the 4 configurations.
  3. Like I did say, hobbylinc says they're in stock, I ordered one, and it had an expected arrival date around the 16th or so. I'll let you know if it shows as shipped within the next couple days.
  4. Hobbylinc claims that they're in stock, so I'm going to order one and see what happens. I would have ordered there regardless since they have such good deals on kits.
  5. True but it would be nice to see anyways to see the wheels/tires they are using and what (if anything) else they're throwing in. Guess I'll just have to wait until I have the kit in my hands.
  6. Funny how this kit is less than a month out from being in stores and there has been nothing in terms of kit photos, only a description of some key parts included in the kit.
  7. Would be nice if someone would put out a US spec '68-'70 sedan (unless there's one that I don't know of.)
  8. So when are they going to display their December releases?
  9. I've seen those online elsewhere, they're similar to what you'd see in the modeling magazines.
  10. I third Monster Garage, there was the occasional drama but Jesse seemed to break it up quickly since he wanted the show to be about the building and to complete the challenge. Wheeler Dealers is another of my faves simply because theres no drama, plenty of cool cars from around the world, and they actually show most of the work being completed.
  11. Nobody else has any to post? I like what I am seeing so far!
  12. Could always build it as a custom where the owner shortened the wheelbase for easier off roading!
  13. Getting there! Looks like you still need to add some length between the doors and the rear wheels.
  14. Per the title, post any plow trucks you've built (pickup truck, van, or SUV)! I'm planning on building one using the AMT C1500 kit, so I'd like to see what other people have done.
  15. Looks pretty nice in that color combo! I do agree that there are some fit and finish issues that you could have improved on a bit, but I will say that some of the parts were finicky for me as well when I built it, especially the side panels and rear roll pan. It's too bad they didn't mold the taillights clear instead of red for the re-release, since it would have made making the reverse portion much easier.
  16. I've been around the UP of Michigan enough to see that none mount them on the tailgate, unless it's an SUV (Bronco, Scout, Blazers, etc.). Most that have them are mounted in the box towards the front. I haven't really seen any mounted on the plow frame, but I have seen ones mounted on non-plow trucks on a special bracket on the front, generally ones that have a camper mounted in the box. I have also seen a few that have no spare at all! Biggest reason I think that they aren't under the bed is because the lifting/lowering mechanism has rusted out/up.
  17. I think it is because they are "different" and fairly unique to one another. It does get boring seeing the same old billet rod or stock muscle car at every show.
  18. Technically, the doors are hinged on the outside on the 1:1 vehicle. Not terribly difficult to do, but may be tough in scale if you can't find a small enough hinge pin.
  19. Good to know, found some cheap Italeri trucks there last month.
  20. Guess I'm lucky then, got the camaro off eBay and while the box was a tad squished in the corners, the contents were intact.
  21. Just saw this thread, and I will say that looks familiar! I saw it at a car show last year here. The exhaust is cool since it runs through those large milk jugs on either side, and it sounds awesome. Certainly interesting!
  22. They're ashamed about the amount of reissues they release?
  23. That's the one thing I was never fond of about these kits, the custom wheel sets were 14" rather than 15".
  24. How can you tell what level a store is, besides of course by looking at the kit selection?
  25. The Michael's near me does have models, however it's a fairly small selection of the more "popular" models that don't really interest me much. I'll occasionally go there with the coupon if I need a kit for kitbashing.
