History of Monogram's Squarebody GM Pickups
Fabrux replied to Fabrux's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
No earlier than Q4 this year, I'd wager. -

Shame on me for not looking at the next page; some real goodies coming!

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.

looking for 2007 freightliner??
Fabrux replied to oldr-n-drt's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
None in plastic. The Classic XL is available in resin, I do believe. Haven't seen any Centuries or Columbias. -

The squirrels chased this CAT home!!!

Ahh! Lafarge pulled out of here a number of years back, so I've not seen their rigs for a while. -

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/ -

Thank you, Tim! I'll add that little nugget to the article, too. -
MiM Dans models 6.7 Dodge Cummins engine
Fabrux replied to catpack68's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Iceman has a 5.9, he might be also have a 6.7 on demand? Worth a shot. -
MiM Dans models 6.7 Dodge Cummins engine
Fabrux replied to catpack68's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
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. -
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

Heavy Pedal was the only one molded in black, so that's a pretty safe bet.
-
The Cascadia and 47X/49X are the same truck with some variations so why not? More bang for the buck.
-
Some retailers have the S730 listed as a June release and available for pre-order.

To date, the suspensions in all the Moebius pickups are the same, both rear wheel drive and 4x4 versions. They used the same chassis and parts in all the kits. For the 1:1 trucks IIRC the suspension was the same from '65-'96 on rear wheel drive and '65-'72 on the 4x4. The upcoming F-250/350 kits should have different suspensions.

Photo-etch exhaust shields?
Fabrux replied to MPi-KM's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
CTM has a set of stacks and PE exhaust shields: https://www.czechtruckmodel.com/ KFS has a whole bunch of different PE brackets and shields for trucks, with brands in the names. Will have to wait until after 1 March to order, though: kitformservices.com/ Auslowe also has PE shield sets: https://www.auslowe.com.au/ HTH! -

What do the Big Rig Tall Tires fit?
Fabrux replied to OldTrucker's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Those will fit Italeri wheels. Possibly the Dodge L700 as well.
