  1. Kootenay 3D Model Parts does Budd wheels too. I know he does them to fit Italeri tires, not sure what else they fit.
  2. You still need the dummy transfer case from the Explorer, though. ?
  3. The front of the roof where it meets the cab is almost square on the Blazer while the Bronco has a curve to it. The tumblehome on both trucks is different from the other, too. But anything's possible...
  4. No, but it was a sweatbox in the back seat. Black, giant fixed windows, no AC... ?
  5. There is a seller on eBay that does a printed Bronco II body. Would need a lot of work to make a proper vehicle out of it, though. The curved rear windows would be fun. Use the AMT Ranger or Explorer kits as a donor. I've been seriously considering getting it as I grew up in an '88 Bronco II. ?
  6. Although they might not be entirely correct, the seats from both the Bronco and Ramcharger kits fit in the Blazer interior. And vice versa. Ask the parts from the '76 K10 fit the Blazer body.
  7. The correct colour for the chassis is Tamiya AS-20 insignia white.
  8. https://www.sprue.xyz/articles/amt_mpc_action_line
  9. I don't anymore and SEL discontinued them... ?
  10. The frame would need to be stretched for a pickup wheelbase. The Blazer is shorter then the short bed trucks.
  11. 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/
  12. No earlier than Q4 this year, I'd wager.
  13. Only the version with the seadoo had the funky grille. All other releases have the stock grille, custom and stock.
  14. Machine translated from the German:
  15. It's this one.
  16. Shame on me for not looking at the next page; some real goodies coming!
  17. 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.
  18. None in plastic. The Classic XL is available in resin, I do believe. Haven't seen any Centuries or Columbias.
  19. 1966 Studebaker 1967 Chevy trucks Bedford CF
  20. Production of them starts this coming week. They've had some unexpected setbacks getting these out.
  21. Ahh! Lafarge pulled out of here a number of years back, so I've not seen their rigs for a while.
  22. 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/
  23. Thank you, Tim! I'll add that little nugget to the article, too.
