  1. I have been testing the tow bed with other trucks and it almost perfectly fits my 65 Chevy stepside.And it looks nice.On another note I also scored Revells Kurtis Midget racer and I am overwhelmed with detailing joy for a box stock revell kit.Also Realize that this was posted about 2 or 3 minutes after I opened the box and saw that sad engine bay,also the news of revells 77 GMC with snowplow that has a nice engine bay didn't help the matter.All is well now and I can kitbash to my hearts content.

  2. Did Revell correct the grille in this reissue? I have the orange version of this kit and the grille looks like a mixture of Chevy and GMC parts. Other than that, it is a great kit. I don't mind that the engine is molded into the cab. After all, iT is a snap together kit!

    Hey Most the times GMC parts will fit a Chevy.Or vice-virsa
  3. My uncle told me about one of my other uncles who died at a young age in a car crash in the 60's at age 16.He also told me that he liked to build model cars and that once he died all of his kit's, suppys, and other model stuff was boxed up and put in the attic in the late 60's,They have been there untouched for almost 50 years.Sadly the owner of the house my great grandmother passed away in 2001 and the house is owned by some other family member.The house still stands today and the last time I was in it was when I was around 4 or 5.After hearing the story I have been jumping at the bits to go there and save some old kits from rotting away but I don't know if the family member that owns it would let me take and restore/build up the kits in the attic because he like to hang onto things.Mabey I can talk to him about it and save the kits in the spring.Any tips or stories like it?
