I predict there will be some brand new kits launched, along with some reissues I never thought we'd see again.
I predict that some of them will have almost no appeal to me.
I predict that some will have a lot of appeal to me.
I predict I'll probably buy at least one of each of them.
LOL...thats funny.I think the same thing.its a almost guarante.......Chris

I don't know where to ask this question.I recieved a MPC 1976 Fodge pickup full bed.Its was built once.its missing,grill,dtive train,wheels tires,engine,all suspension and transfer case..a few othet parts.my question is,does someone have the axles and leaf springs,front and rear for sale or in resin?
And what are the differences in the 73-76 and after to 78?
can I use parts from the Amt/ertl 1978 lil red express pickup for rear springs and rear axle and othet parts.
thank you for any snd sll help......Chris

Nice work Dan...you do amazing work...mine is coming along...but slow......Chris

Well...I guess I'm middle of the road builder...not a collecter,but as been said...everything is going to be built or its parts for a build.I'm not a rivet counter,but I reseach and want it right.I'm a slow builder...I'm in no hurry.I don't post a whole lot cause I'm building.I've learned so much from builders here and the old (MTDG) on yahoo and I don't hold other builders to any standard,I guess thats why I like shows over contests.
I love seeing others work,creativity, and thought in the subjects.
I love it to look real and play its part.work trucks is what I'm into and it has to work.I scratch build all the time...so detail is a big part for me.I build snap kits just to see what I can make of it with whats there.
Rebuilding models is a blast to me.try to make it what I see it could be.I let the model lead me in construction.
Scale modeling has to be challenging. from reseach,plans and construction. ..its all a blast to me...over all modeling has to be fun...other wise...why do it............thats me,.......Chris

hi all,
Question on building trailer axles.awhile back I boight a trailer that someone was trying to mod.it was once a Revell race car trailer.tge one that is red on the box top.I cutoff all of the added parts and put a new trailer hitch on it.the axles were broken to the point that they were not safe able,so was the springs..but I know how to make new springs...that I have done.but I'm still trying to make replacement axles.its the lowered axles at the spindle ends that I'm having a difficult time with...any suggestions on how to make them?,where to get replacement rims from?...thank you....Chris

Thanks Jeff, Harry, and the rest of you for your feedback on this review. Makes me want to continue to do this on selected kits that I think will have broad appeal to the MCM Forum members..TIM
again Tim thank you so much.you do an amazing work on showing us the kits and explaining differences between kits and all tge possibilties.you take the time to make it underable for me.if it was not for you there would be many kits not boughten.and many projects for me and many others...thank you so much Tim..........Chris

Thank you.........Chris

Why do I have to Choose? Why can't I build all three? Or just whichever one(s) I happen to personally prefer?
This is America, still a somewhat free nation. I don't like being pushed into arbitrary "this or that" choices and I push back on them whenever possible.
absolutly!!.....Chris

The front fenders, hood, grille and bumper, and the dash and depending on the option that's duplicated the seats might be different.
does it have the racing front seats and the same mirrors,rad,front core support,firewall,rear axle and 4 popper...I want a couple for parts and a couple to build.but the parts are more important to me.and has anyone seen them at hobby lobby yet?....thanks....Chris

I don't have and have never had amt's 40 ford kit.only monogram and revell and the monogram is the pickup.I have friend that spent along while fixing hood and front fender problems. ..he wasn't very happy with the amount of effort to fix kit problems. so the revell is the newest kit as opposed to the amt.the art work on the amt sure is beautiful though. thats all I know about it.good luck......Chris
