They only have the files, yes. Their authorized printer is VCG Resins by Reese; if you contact him he might be able to print them for you. ?

Scale Speed Garage now has available the 88-98 single headlight grilles and the 90-98 dual headlight grilles for both Chevy and GMC. I'm hoping the 88-89 sealed beam dual light grilles come at some point... ?

Freightliner Cascadia, Volvo VNL760, International LT, Peterbilt 579, Kenworth T660... A modern 53' quad-axle fuel tanker would be great, too.

Scale Auto Model Works has the valve covers. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/1-24-scale-mopar-small-block-la-street-heat-upgrade-file-pack

I've printed my own but I'm having trouble with the rear coil overs failing every time; very fiddly...

I was going by the hood hinges...! ?

I resemble that remark! ?

This was a tough one to nail down exactly. I got a Magirus-Deutz vibe from it immediately but beyond that took digging!

The same seller has the later grille, too, looks like.

Coronet:

Okay, somebody knows something so spill! ?

Any possibility of buying the file? ?

I was struggling to discern the differences between the 18/85 and the Six but couldn't easily figure it out in the pictures I could find. Glad I settled on the right one!

Both MPC and Monogram skipped right over the regular '85-'86 cars in favour of the SVO. ☹️

Sometimes much-maligned when compared to other offerings, let’s take a look into the many versions of the MPC/AMT Fox Body Mustang. https://www.sprue.xyz/articles/mpc-fox

I'd love to see the Blazer/K10 again.

Inspired by the subject selection of this year's USACC Build Off I delved into the history of Monogram's 1955 Ford truck kits that have been in production steadily since their introduction in 1977. https://www.sprue.xyz/articles/monograms-1955-ford-trucks

Of all the versions of this tooling family they pick the worst one to reissue... ?

So happy to see this one coming back! ?

Rick Salvino himself has claimed that the reason he chose 1:24 for the Next Gen cars is that starting with the downsized cars in 1981 for NASCAR they look better on the shelf next to the full size cars in 1:25 of 1980 and before. I'm sure that the quality and detail differences between the Monogram and MPC/AMT kits from 1981 Ave beyond set the standard for 1:24 in NASCAR modeling.

Fresh from their Facebook page...

I am an avid contributor to Scalemates and try to add in information and correct errors when I see them. This is a feature of that website, not a bug! ?

I also bought two. One has the regular cab glass, one has the extended cab glass. ?

The Cascadia is unique compared to the rest of the Freightliner line so no shared cab components there. The new Western Star X-series trucks share the Cascadia cab but have different door skins and the obvious hood differences. They are different enough that doing a traditional-style kit body would require two tools. Even for an Italeri-style body the rear cab walls are different as well. The rest of the truck, however, is the same as the Cascadia. If the body was designed so that the roof above the window line was a separate piece they'd be able to get high and mid roof variants. As for the Moebius Internationals, the kits represent an oddball configuration what didn't sell well at all; the Maxxforce 15 engine required a filler panel between the hood and cab that the other engine options didn't have. Were Moebius to update the kit to reflect the current LT with either the A26 or Cummins X15 engines, they'd be able to use the same base to do the HX as well. Were they to tool up a day cab and shorter chassis the rest of the International lineup (minus the GM-cab CV) could be offered with the same core kit components, giving them six total truck kits. Toss in both wheelbase HX trucks, body options.... Endless variations. I would love to see Italeri update the Volvo VN to the VNL that I drive these days. Another kit that could yield many variants with different hoods for the VNL, VNR, VNX, and VHD lines as well as a couple-three cab lengths. I think the biggest stumbling block to new truck kits is that modern trucks have integral, high-roof sleepers. Old trucks and thus truck kits could be done with a separate cab and sleeper and get several kit variants for less investment. A modern truck kit would require two different body tools for long haul and vocational configurations for all brands. Toss in the various sleeper lengths and roof heights and it's a losing game. Even if the kit builds up the same way as the real trucks do with the various body components, which wouldn't be popular with the Average Modeler.
