  1. The correct colour for the chassis is Tamiya AS-20 insignia white.
  2. https://www.sprue.xyz/articles/amt_mpc_action_line
  3. I don't anymore and SEL discontinued them... ?
  4. The frame would need to be stretched for a pickup wheelbase. The Blazer is shorter then the short bed trucks.
  5. Realistically, if you don't plan to remove the roof for display I've found it is best to glue it on to get it straight. Also worth noting is that the hinges for the rear hatch aren't the greatest. I find them oversized and fragile. I've done the same firewall modifications and completely swapped out the engines. The kits block is just too funny to make look right and the SM465 looks better with a 1:24 engine, IMO. https://public.fotki.com/fabrux/blazerjimmy/
  6. No earlier than Q4 this year, I'd wager.
  7. Only the version with the seadoo had the funky grille. All other releases have the stock grille, custom and stock.
  8. Machine translated from the German:
  9. It's this one.
  10. Shame on me for not looking at the next page; some real goodies coming!
  11. In another thread @Luc Janssensposted a link to a German retailer that has some additional releases coming up this year: 14528 1:24 '70 Plymouth Duster 14529 1:24 '39 Chevy sedan delivery 14530 1:24 '69 GTO Judge 14531 1:24 '70 Roadrunner The description of the Duster says it's 80 pieces; I'm thinking this is the funny car last seen as the Cop Out. Without any reference to Tom Daniels I'm sure.
  12. None in plastic. The Classic XL is available in resin, I do believe. Haven't seen any Centuries or Columbias.
  13. 1966 Studebaker 1967 Chevy trucks Bedford CF
  14. Production of them starts this coming week. They've had some unexpected setbacks getting these out.
  15. Ahh! Lafarge pulled out of here a number of years back, so I've not seen their rigs for a while.
  16. I don't think you have the spacing of the axles quite right. The steers might be but the rears are a bit too far apart. I took this picture of a mixer yesterday morning at the shop. The twin steer conversions are done by Simard. They do a bunch of different configurations: https://www.simardsuspensions.com/en/applications/concrete-mixers/
  17. Thank you, Tim! I'll add that little nugget to the article, too.
  18. Iceman has a 5.9, he might be also have a 6.7 on demand? Worth a shot.
  19. I do believe Dan Models is from a part of the world that you wouldn't want to be in right now, so probably not in active production.
  20. Sometimes the inspiration for my articles comes from acquiring a kit that I knew nothing about and the subsequent research. Such was the case with the Revell Buttera Street Rod series. https://www.sprue.xyz/articles/revell-buttera
  21. Heavy Pedal was the only one molded in black, so that's a pretty safe bet.
  22. The Cascadia and 47X/49X are the same truck with some variations so why not? More bang for the buck.
  23. Some retailers have the S730 listed as a June release and available for pre-order.
