Ooh, a VT! Perfect. Would love to see that VNL conversion available again so I can build my truck... ?

Both for the same reason, I'm sure: the body mold was altered.

The only visible difference between a '95 and a '96 in that kit is the wheels. The promos Ertl did were all 1995 model year, no idea why they labeled the 'kit' as a 1996. The pickup promos did get the upgraded dash for '97-'98 but curiously used the S-series mirrors that were only used on South American C-series trucks.

IIRC a lot of those RC2 era kits had such short turnarounds for the box art that the builds photographed are ones people had already built from previous issues.

Your best bet would be the old IMC flat bed trailer, last seen bundled with the Dodge L700 by Lindberg.

HLJ has a pre-order available and they claim it is being released this month.

I.... think so? I have seen it on store shelves recently.

This one.

How about a single headlight grille for the Chevy LUV?

Don't worry, it's not just a geezer thing.

Oh boy! '66 Beaumont for the '66 Malibu flip nose '67 Beaumont for the Revell '67 Chevelle '64 Acadian Canso for the Moebius '65 Canso for the Moebius '66 Canso for the AMT

I'm also curious to see what they're going to put in the Lil Hustler. MPC did two versions of the flip nose with that name, stock bed and California stepside bed.

Meanwhile, back at Topicville... AMT-1333 1/25 Coke 1929 Ford Woody Pickup Truck AMT-1338 1/25 Aqua Rod Race Team 1975 Chevy Van, Race Boat & Trailer AMT-1339 1/25 Alaskan Hauler Kenworth Tractor Cab AMT-1352 1/25 Lennie Pond 1974 Chevy Malibu Stock Car AMT-1365 1/25 1967 Oldsmobile 442 MPC-982 1/25 Li'l Hustler 1975 Datsun Pickup Truck MPC-984 1/24 Space 1999: Moonbuggy/Amphicat MPC-996 1/25 Monkeemobile from TV Series

When I ordered mine, the base conversion was $30 and the add-on was $10.

Lots of changes. The interior is all new. The volume seller VNL760 has different shaped sleeper windows compared to earlier models. If you used the 670 kit as a donor you'd have no issues as that one just has the vents. The 780 kit would be closer to a current 860.

ARM Résine, in France. Here's his eBay profile: https://ebay.com/usr/arm2017

The ease at which the Moebius parts interchange with the AMT suggests to me that it may be intentional.

The engine has to be deep enough in the chassis for the snorkel to clear the hood. You either have to press down on the engine really hard to get it to snap in place or trim the mounting tabs on the water pump. IIRC they adjusted the tooling and the newer releases have been corrected.

I do believe that one of the marketing gimmicks of the Longhorn was that you could put your camper in and close the tailgate.

There was also a Datsun pickup with the same trailer and wetbikes

No top in the pulling trucks, sadly.

Still need the all important steps...! ?

Sergey, I think if you search for chassis you should find what you need!
