I like your color choice as it looks like it was factory choice of color..

I got a second copy of the '95 Brickyard 400 Chevy C-1500 pickup at local flea market in a trade deal. Since this had what looked like smoke damage (yellowed on drivers side) made it a good project for a repaint. I stripped it of the graphic's then re painted/gloss coated the pickup, and changed out the wheel's to standard one's. I added Coca-Cola decal's that came with the GMC General kit that came out recently.

Used this as the template for the last Coke Machine. It's supposed to be printed out then glued to card stock. But I used the thin evergreen sheet for the pattern by placing it over the computer screen. Then tracing the machine out on the evergreen sheet. The only thin evergreen used on the actual copy is the front. The rest of the evergreen was a thicker sheet with thin square evergreen strips between the double front and the inside's of the machine. The dispencer pocket was cut out on the thin front sheet.

The first one is die cast that came with the AMT '55 Chevy Cameo pickup, The cooler style which comes with the '60 Ford Ranchero . The early 70's machine came with the 77 Ford Van kit, and the 80's/90's style machine I made from various sheet/strips of Evergreen, and left over Coca cola decals.

Revell made the 90's caprice, '94 Impala, '05 Chevy Impala, and amt did make a '04 Pontiac GTO (johnny lighning/then rides) The Impala can be converted to a non police car fairly easy.

I seen that on their facebook page. Last issue will be October, 2020. They will still have the web site for everything. Otherwise it is fine scale modelers now.

Grant Imahara, known for his time on Mythbusters died of ruptured Brain Aneurysm, He worked at lucus films THX division then Industrial Light and Magic for 9 years. He worked on all three Star wars preqils, Both Matrix's movies, Jurassic Park: the lost world, Galaxy Quest, T-3 Rise of the machines..

And Lisa Marie Presley lost her 27 year old son. He took his own life a few days ago.

I know but with round two bringing out long ago truck kit's Maybe Just maybe they will be so kind to reissue the S-series kit/kit's.. (I Hope)!!!!

Yes but the hard part will be getting a International F-2575 Kit to make the plow/dump truck. Odot Here in Ohio has used International's since the 1980's!

I just got the kit from Hobby Lobby. Price was cheaper than all the car/truck kit's . After using a 40% off coupon I paid $14.99 for it. I haven't opened the kit yet ,but it show's that it comes with complete with all the fifth wheel parts as well! So you could make the snow plow/dump truck or a medium duty with the fifth wheel.

Went to Hobby Lobby for a few display cases (Fit's over sized 1/18 auto's or 1/25 Semi Truck's. Then found the New re-issued Ford snow plow, and I think they miss priced the kit! So with my smart phone in hand to use the digital 40% off of the kit made it $14.99!!!!

Talk about a Error filled movie Watch Black Dog with Patrick Swayze, Randy Travis, and Meat Loaf. From contact damage before making contact, A white/Volovo/ GMC that keeps repairing it's self, Rockets seen used to blow up said White/Volvo/GMC. Plus handing the main actor a letter that he was seen just holding seconds before, And many More! Note that a roll bar is visible on the red rig as well..

Well just a few years ago Round 2 also did these two Pepsi themed kit's! Must not had sold as well as the Coca-Cola ones ????

Ahh yes the A team. I recall that they even used an early 70 ford van in a scene where the van flies into the ocean. But here is one of the many as if one couldnt tale it was a ford or in this case a older Chevy van.

This Is from a episode of T.J.Hooker. The International truck that was used before the "crash" scene was a 4070 A The truck in the picture was disguised as a 4070 a but is actually a Transtar II (See head light pans which are square, and the door handle is at the bottom of the door. The second photo is clear to see the round headlight pans, and the door handle under the door window. In the episode of the Dukes of Hazzard where Boss Hogg races Uncle Jessie , Bo ,Luke, Daisy and Cooter help Uncle Jessie defeat Boss Hogg ( Boss had Roscoe put Moonshine in Jessie' s trunk for the race. It is not only seen but heard when in this episode Luke opens the passenger door on the General get's in and shut's the door (doors were supposed to be welded shut on this one).

If I recall correctly all auto makes got bad steel in the 70's not just IH. Look at most any unrestored car/pickup that's been left to the element's from that time period

The shadow of the chain runs across the rear wheel of the Tractor, and if you look behind the tractor there is a tie down cable hooked to the back of it which also has a shadow.

Two more Picture of From the USS Hornet wreckage.

The USS Hornet is just over 3 miles under the ocean. If you look closer you will see the shadow of the chain running across the rear wheel. It's not a fake and live video was shown on ABC news. Video can be watched on You Tube of the actual discovery of the USS Hornet....

I have been working on this one for the last few week's, and really wasn't impressed that it had a "Lima" 2.3 liter 4 banger. Fact is I live just 25 miles west of Lima Ohio were that 2.3 was made! I decided to do an engine swap from a AMT 90's Thunderbird race car kit. So that is the engine that is now in the '87 T-Bird. I painted the body withe three coats of Testors Mythical Maroon, and the Interior Rustolium granite satin gray.

The USS Hornet famous for the Dolittle Raid was just found in 2019, It's amazing how well preserved the ship and this little IH tractor that some how remained aboard the Air craft carrier.

O.K. I just finished my second '67 Chevrolet Impala four door! this one is Krylon short cuts red with a Mythical Maroon interior. I bought the body and interior set off ebay, and used a spare '67 Impala ss Frame,engine, suspension, tires & wheel's for this one. So let's see if anyone else has got one finished!!

Some years ago I had the amt 55 chevy sedan. The body as I recall was very nice but the chassis and Interior were a PITA as they didn't fit each other very well, I had the same issue with the 55 Nomad kit. it's either the chassis or the interior that isn't right as the Transmission tunnel either is to big on the chassis or to small in the interior to fit over the chassis correctly, The Revell copy would supply a better detailed interior/engine and chassis.
