Probably a misprint.

They don't have much variety, but at least there's some new stuff coming. I went by today and got two of the new AMT 1978 Bronco release and they had the Sunoco 1934 Ford truck out as well. I noticed they had labels on the empty shelves, but the only ones that caught my eye were the 1970 Olds 442 and the Revell Porsche 911 Coupe. The Porsche is one I'll buy many 40% off copies of to put in my Porsche pile.

Something interesting to me was this Toyota Hilux with Mexico plates. I actually prefer this truck to the American Tacoma. Photographed today at a Walmart here in central Texas.

I've been wondering about that. I have no idea about 3D printing, but if they could turn out parts with it that were about the same cost or cheaper as doing them the old way, that would open up some really cool versions and would allow them to respond quickly to market demands.

Great build! I didn't know anyone made this model.

My suggestion for AMT would be to leverage the kits they have, such as the Ford Pinto and the MPC Pinto Wagon or the Caprice. They could invest in backdating the tooling or create a new version based on the current tooling. I would buy many copies of a 1971 Pinto or Vega. As they were popular in the SCCA, they could even add some Minilites, racing tires, a simple roll cage and some period decals for another version. As for the MPC vans, how about recreating the early issues of the Dodge and Chevy vans? Maybe add the high top for the Chevy and add window van versions along with the extra seats and such. The Dodge pickup could be changed with a new grille and hood. Also how about versions of the Trans Am? With a little new tooling they could have a 1976 version, then they could do a flat hood and remove the side vents and do a base model 'Rockford' Firebird. All these things would be (relatively) inexpensive to do and give them new variations to sell.

I'd buy a couple of these, just to have both versions. Same with the bass boats. I wouldn't care if they came with a tow vehicle or not. The boats look really nice all by themselves just in a display case.

It's been a while, but didn't he do a set of sports car mirrors and gas caps and stuff?

I'd love to have the Dodge van conversion but my computer won't let me access the site.

I really love that this Bronco kit is coming out. Maybe it'll be a big seller and we'll get a Maverick and some other cool off roaders. My only other wish is that someone would offer a set of accessories. Maybe some steel bumpers, aftermarket tires and wheels and especially some roof racks with accessories would be cool!

Nice! One question, is the hood scoop molded to the hood or is it a separate piece?

How do we order?

Where do you sell that '75 front end?

Thanks for the input. I'll probably go ahead and buy it anyway as it's a good price.

I have several of the GT3 road version of this kit and I found the racing version for a decent price. From the pictures I cant see any difference other than decals. Other than the rear wing is there anything in the racing version that makes it worth buying over the road kit?

Something that occurred to me, are Monogram's 1/24th 1970 and 1977 Trans Ams the same kit with different front ends or are they totally different? Anyone know?

I've been gradually collecting kits to do original Cannonball cars and one that's eluded me is the 1974 Trans Am that was on this Car and Driver cover. Ideally I'm hoping to find a front end and decals that will fit the 1/24th Monogram/RevellTA, but the MPC one is a backup choice.

Looks like you're doing a good job. I'd so love to see this reissued!

For a few years, some of the Ag/tractor dealers here in central Texas have sold these for farm and ranch use. I've even seen a couple of them tagged as trucks for road use. Not sure how they managed that, but I'd love to have one. Now they're switching to those side by side ATVs.

Over the last year I've bought three Otaki 1/24th Porsche 911s at reasonable prices and they seem pretty well done for the time. I was wondering if anyone knew about the company or what happened to their molds. I'd really love to see the 911 reissued and even more, I'd love to get a copy of their Cheetah for a price that wasn't painful. Every time I've come across one of those it's in the $200-$300 range.

I came across a website with some interesting stuff and wanted to ask if anyone has ordered from them. https://offthesprue.com/

I've got a collection of mostly Monogram 1/24 Porsche 911s and for some variety I'd like to do one with a right hand drive dash. Does anyone know which if any companies produce a 911 with options to do RHD?

Maybe I should get one and bring it full circle by putting the body on a battery powered R/C chassis!

AMT is re-releasing the Dodge van a lot and this grill would be a good alternative.
