  1. Yay! It's finally coming!
  2. You would be better off starting from scratch as there isn't much on that Escalade that is common with the Avalanche. The front clip and body cladding is all different. ??
  3. Steve Magnante. Magazine writer, Barrett Jackson commenter, Roadkill's Junkyard Gold host, author, podcaster, etc etc. Built several magazine cars including the Wilshire Shaker Nova and the Funny Fairmont. He's been known to attend the Classic Plastic show in Lawrence, MA.
  4. Your best option would be to lengthen a frame from the MPC '84 GMC kit. You would also have the correct engine bay using that kit as a donor and cutting out the '72 molded in one.
  5. That's why I wrote them! Glad they helped. ?

  8. Testors wasn't in the business if tooling their own kits, were they? Theoretically this is a rebox of someone else's kit?
  9. Neat! I've never heard of that vendor or that engine!
  10. The cab, hood, and engines are from GM. Navistar does everything else. The only engine option is the 6.6L Duramax.
  11. If anyone knows anything about this, you're my first guess. ?
  12. Revell also had a smaller, single axle trailer that was much better suited for two motorcycles. Was found in the Rough Rider Datsun set, Ridge Runner Courier set, Husky Hauler van set, among others. It must have been damaged by the time the Chevy 4x4 set came out. It would have been a much better fit for the Wave Rider.
  13. I tried the swap and couldn't figure out why the hood wasn't closing... ??‍♂️
  14. Paging Mr. Boyd. Tim Boyd to the courtesy phone, please... ?
  15. So much want! Here's a better picture.
  16. The Falcon 6 is the correct engine for the Revell Early Bronco. The Moebius engine is the Truck Six and is bigger and doesn't fit in the Bronco.
  17. As expected, the Miller High Life GMC Astro is an 'adult collectible'....
  18. Exact same box contents as the molded in silver Blazers I have, as expected. Thanks, Casey!
  19. Fireball has a set of SSIII wheels, would they work? http://www.fireballmodels.info/images/FMR-151 lg.JPG
  20. Also keep in mind the MPC Blazer is a 73-74 with the full length removable roof. The Monogram kit has the 75-91 half roof.
  21. I just picked one up at a hobby shop. $44.99
  22. ^This is exactly the reason why Salvinos JR has right on the box "18 years and older"
