The Rides Magazine issue came with those wheels. Aside from that and the decals, it was pretty much the regular '72 kit. Very cool model, Dr.!

Yep, burned my eyes. TOTALLY worth it!

How could I NOT love this???? Very cool.

Unfortunately...

Man, that ain't no Suzuki! Wonder if they made the previous body style, so I can turn it into a Dodge Raider.

Always love to see reference pics shot from a modeler's viewpoint.

Ken, I think you summed it up pretty well in your FB status.

Ditto. And not to rain on anybody's parade, but- Al Qaeda still exists.

For me, it's pretty simple. If I see the 'doo-doo' about to hit the fan, I step out from in front of the fan. Then, even if things do flare up, I don't know, because I'm off checking out another part of the forum.

I quit building models two weeks ago, and I've never been happier!

The Bronco? http://findallvideo.com/tag/war-wagon

Lonestar CXT Pickup.... Lonestar Harley Davidson Edition... Lonestar Mad-Max Apocalyptic Rig... Lonestar Enclosed Toy Hauler/Camper... Lonestar Fire Engine... Lonestar Rollback... Looks like I'd better stock up...

Thanks! For Gawd's sake, never thought to check the gallery. Kids- that's why you don't do your research on such things at three AM!

Nice and warm up here in cetral Michigan today, but a bit too breezy for my tastes. Yeah... always something to complain about! That's me.

Looks like the door hinge pins are a little worn out. Seriously, though- Love it!

Oh, yeah! Love the old Ford duallies.

An almost unmarked car! The most insidious police vehicle of them all! Love this kit, and love seeing it built up.

Anyone have photos of this thing? The JF site, STAR models, and Google images netted me nada. Thanks!

Tim- Esci did a Ford Transit, with the newer nose. You could probably rework it to the older style- Question... Somebody mentioned DeTomaso Pantera (would love one, by the way), was the Mangusta ever kitted? If no, add that one to my list, too.

Oh... and who's sister do I have to take to dinner before somebody kits one of those Russian Packard knockoffs???? Call me weird, but I like them.

The COPO Nova caps MIGHT work, they wouldn't be a 100% match to those '55 caps. Just stripping the chrome, and painting them white with red centers would help, and would probably do the trick if you didn't look too close. I don't have the Revell caps, but the MPB resin hubcaps are pretty similar to the ones in the new Copo Nova kit-

This Michigan boy would like... Volvo P1800 (coupe or wagon... better still, why not both?) Bugatti Veyron BMW 2002 Volkswagen Thing Volkswagen Squareback Yugo CV (Just 'Cuz) Any of the 'angular' Citroens from the early '70's NSU Ro80 1990's Land Rover Defender 90 1963 Opel Kadett (OLIVER!!!!) Any of the modern TVRs... I'm not fussy!

Love it!

The only gripe I've had with the few I've built OOB is this- chase out the holes for the metal axles on the tires. Clear out any globs of chrome or clearcoat, or the axle mounting boss will shatter. Also, the axles seem a bit too wide on some of them, and they're pretty thick, but the 'too wide' thing might have something to do with the mounting bosses on the wheels, rather than the axles themselves. Aside from that, assembly is (wait for it...) a snap. Just ordered another Ramblur today from STAR Models, thinking it might end up in a tutorial...

I'd have chopped the top a bit if I'd built it, but having said that, I love it! You might not be as fond of it as you'd like to be, but I'd GLADLY have it on my shelf!
