I too would love a Checker Other than the Danbury/Franklin Mint piece of course!!!

They were 1/24, and a Direct copy of Jo-Han's set up!! I have the LAPD Dodge kit Original Issue! Yes the caps are clear, but, look too small foer that Large beacon! I have the Lindberg 1/20 scale Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee Michigan SP unit (I live in Maryland so Also MSP!) Dome cap is molded red not clear or in pieces. That beacon looks to be about 12 inch diameter or maybe even 14. The Jo-Han/Yodel pieces are not that large. You have to look CAREFULLY at Jo-Han Detroit Blue caps too Later issued Are MOLDED in Blue and will NOT strip!!!! You could make4 the Base, and rotator inside easily. I have, The look for a Blister pack the has the Dome like that and use it. Mask the 2 clear lines and time the rest red I saw one of those lit up at night and it made the thing look PINK!!! NOT many were used arround here I only ever saw that one!!! The only other options I know of, are taking that Lindberg 1/20 piece and Cutting it apart finding Clear the correct diameter, (or sheet thick enough) and reassembling the dome sandwich style I too would like a few of these. And CORRECT, Not like the Lindberg piece!!! One question Are there 2 or 4 sealed beams on that rotator??

I have the North American Van Lines truck Built it WAY Back When Got it in Coraopolis, Pa. At the Bike & Hobby!! He Dumped out Hobbys a LONG time ago.

Wish RC2 had not butchered the GMC stepside into the "72 Chevy" Fleetside we have had re-issued 4 times since the yellow/white box art. It would be nice if they could offer the 70-72 Sierra Grande again Hopefully a resin caster out there does or will!!! What happened to the Cooter's Tow truck Tooling?? How did they loose that almost While In production, causing the re-tooling of the GMC in the first place????

I believe Ertl offered that 69 Blazer as a Toy then decided to offer it as a kit It was offered Before the Yellow box art Styrene 72 kit. I have tried several times to get one, but have missed out One thing about this kit. The body is in 2 main pieces. The primary body with sides, etc, but the Hood & windshield frame are the second piece. The Roof is a separate Plastic piece. Tires, as far as I remember from the Blueprinter/Replica newsletter are Hollow-Back hard styrene!

yea I goofed and did not read what I typed MPC original tooled the MACK DM's & Gravel Trailer The Sold the tooling to Ertl. Ertl continued to issue them placing their Loge in p-lace of the MPC logo. No other box art change

I like this too. Do wish it was a 70or 72, as Indy has a couple H/O versions of those!! Interesting seeing an H/O version of a Wagon!!! I HOPE to save up to get one of these!!!!

I built the DM 800 in that scheme MPC first offered these kits Before selling the tooling to MPC in 72 I have the Catalog showing them. The cab was molded in red for the scheme. So on those, it Was Pre-Bicentennial I do hope more of those get re-issued.

"Orange Blossom Special" was a 37 Chevy, Not 41! Meister Brau Tractor has Not been re-issued either. But, Will either get re-issued now?? They did not sell well then, so..................... A Pull Sled and other Pull tractors were planned but dropped due to sales figures of the 3 kits offered. OSB, MB & Tennesse thunder Funny car puller Was that one offered separately, or only with the LN transporter?? I have only seen the double kit myself.

I wish I could do that Pace car myself. I have the decal sheet waiting!!!! Definitely watching this one!

The 1/32 Eagle was an Ertl issue Before they purchased AMT I had one MANY years ago.. I do wish they would re-issue more of those 1/32 truck kits!! And, Yes, I would liek to see th e1/25 Transtar COE re-issued too!

I don't have a separate video card in this DELL. And not sure how to color test the monitor. Oh well.

I only have the sedan Did you think of using one of those for the front Bench?? or did it look more like the buckets you have??

Tires actually look like the Compact tires from the Annuals and promos. I have 2 61 Ranchero's a Styline and Desert "El Ranchero Grande" 1 64 Falcon Promo, and others with then, and the look the same. Rims look too large compared to the tire.

been so long since I built it!!! I don't remember having any problems. I did cut all the doors out and hinged them Plus added the steering. I do want to get the re-issue. I have a couple ideas for one!!

I like that blue one too Those "Red's" on the front are interesting Firefighter? or Police?? Sure would make a Nice Stealth Speed enforcer!!!

A Straight Side shot might do better In all 3 above, it looks like the rear wheels are too far forward, and too narrow a track for the body. I have thought about stretching the AMT 68/9 chassis to fit the Jo-Han Fury 4dr sedan body not cutting molded on detail off.

That is actually 20+ years of dust build up in it from sitting on the shelf Untouched all those years Meant to give her a Good cleaning & polishing Before taking pic's!!! Take a look at the Dart behind the truck Dust is Very visable in that!!

Interesting to see the trophy base, but NO trophy.

I see the Custom Headlight Lenses It is hard to tell, bu those red lenses look to be Custom parts too. Didn't original Promos have the 2 piece tail lights like the original kits??

Did you remove any Chrome trim?? If this was suppose to be a Pace car, It should have had a chrome stripe that ran from Windshield frame to Boot cover, Down, Accross, then back up Yellow car with that area above the chrome black. I would love to find one I have the decal sheet already.

I want one I built the Petty set Way back when !!!

Sorry for my Goof before How are these for Obsure?? Or at least ODD!! Hino S'Elega Super High Decker 1/32; and 3 different Isuzu BXD-30 Bonnet's; Sadly, this one was sold with a Chopped top! I have tried to restore it, but a couple posts are missing I am looking for a replacement body And before anyone says it is available in resin. Look at the Door location on the kit, and on the resin!! Yes, the resin is based on this, but door moved to Right side!!!

I believe they are a kit to themselves! Sure look like it! Besides, How many 1/6 scale car kits are there?? And it looks like there is ONLY One wheel per kit. You want to buy 4 separate kits to place the On a car??

Wish they had re-tooled the tail lights to include the clear red lens. But, I will Still TRY to get one or 2!!
