Could it be that the front and rear body pieces are straight from the '87 GTA kit? ?

My interest in this particular set of kits stemmed from coming across the Model King issue of the Firebird in a closeout shop. I looked for more information on that kit, it's relationship to the Camaro kits and, well, just had to write an article! https://sprue.xyz/2020/04/12/history-of-monograms-gm-f-body-alston-pro-stock-chassis/ As with my previous articles, please help me increase my accuracy of you know my assumptions to be false. Thanks for checking it out!

Now if only someone offered the correct bumper... ?

Not that I've ever come across. Only the wrecker.

Wishful fan art.

I tried the '65 camper on a '59 El Camino body once. It doesn't quite fit properly... ?

Are the massive slick tires typical of this style of race car or track specific? I confess I don't know much about the style of racing these cars would do, but they are fascinating to me. I just keep thinking that they should be running something closer to Nascar sized wheels?

Most likely licensing.

Yellow frame on the left is from the original 1987 issue, black one is from a built-up reissue of USA-1. If it is a modification, it is quite an extensive one. It looks to be different enough to be a separate insert. That being said, the stock long bed was last issued in 1989 and the first USA-1 kit was issued in 1990. Looks like I have some digging to do for a new kit history article...

FedEx Expedited uses a lot of these, as well as Landstar above and Black Horse carriers. All team brokers where this truck is their only home. For when something absolutely needs to be somewhere ASAP. Have never seen a tandem truck, always single drives, sometimes a lift axle.

You have my interest, sir!

Interesting that the 40' container and chassis is going to be on the market as both Italeri and AMT.

Not dead, more like development hell.

Maindrian Pace makes it.

Yes, the engines are your generic small block Chevy. It seems only the stepside and Blazer kits got the stock intake setup. The fuel injection thingy doesn't really resemble anything from that era, more like the Rochester setup from the tri-five era.

It would seem as thought Scenes Unlimited was looking into casting them.

He is taking orders but they're not listed on his site. The kits only come with one tailgate, so specify on ordering. They are $12 each and he has a lot of orders! Might take a bit.

Automatic for work, manual for pleasure. 'Cause shifting this in traffic and hilly terrain is painful.

Just what is the floater tire supposed to be for, anyway?

What's wrong about it?

Sort of. I'm building a '73 F-250 service truck but I'm only using the cab from the Super Stones kit; everything else is Moebius. But, considering how well the AMT 4x4 suspension fits the Moebius frame, going the other way should fit as well. Getting the FMR-155 kit as well helps.

Did these ever get released?
