First......Thanks Bruce for posting this....I wanted one but good to see inside. Tires can be painted with Tamiya spray flats. I use white primer to make wide whites. I'd test it...but gray primer might work well. PS.....anyone think about a hot rod version like Revell Meter Cheater???

Things can be done with it......... Inspired by a goth girl's ride. Funny Monogram didn't do anything with it....I like the kit. -

First post says $70 plus postage is MUCH closer to $100 than $25.....using my hillbilly math anyway. We are down to one hobby shop in West Virginia and while run by a great guy he doesn't even carry Tamiya car kits....kinda doubt I can walk in there and get this one. I'll pass on hunting this one down and paying that much. My choice.......

Lindberg 1/25 Dodge L-700 & IMC Trailers
Dave Van replied to jeffb's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Weather he does or not....... the kit is very generic. The running lights and tread plate bumper on my shorty were added by myself. Detail is simple but decent. I like the kit for it's flexibility and just something different. I say the kit is a great starting point. -
My dealer sold out instantly....I'll have to wait on 2nd round.

Italian chassis maker Dallara to build Gen 7 chassis for NASCAR
Dave Van replied to Vietnam Vet67's topic in WIP: NASCAR
Most states use 25 years to qualify. A few states are moving to 30 years. We are lucky here.....I talk to one of our state senators, when I sent a photo of my 66 Mustang and in the background you could just see part of the rear end of my 74 AMC Matador he commented on how rare they are....he really knows cars....good to have guys like him as a law maker. -
Your post brings up a question for me....... The 'Road Knights' logo on that left front windshield is from a model club that was founded by myself and a few others in Charlotte NC. I helped design that logo....but how did it end up on a truck model so far away??? Lots of weird going on with that model.

WOW!!

I am a SEMA member and they have been sending us info about a number of state trying to regulate VW based dune buggys, like Manx, out of street legal class. Only car class I know of under fire currently.
