  1. Iceman has a 5.9, he might be also have a 6.7 on demand? Worth a shot.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. Heavy Pedal was the only one molded in black, so that's a pretty safe bet.
  5. The Cascadia and 47X/49X are the same truck with some variations so why not? More bang for the buck.
  6. Some retailers have the S730 listed as a June release and available for pre-order.
  7. 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.
  8. 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!
  9. I was 17 in 2001 driving to work. I was running late so I was giving that Focus all it had. Ended up with a ticket for going 175 in a 100 km/h zone. At the time it was the most expensive speeding ticket the city cashier had ever seen at $350... ?
  10. That sleeper configuration is pretty common in New England. ?‍♂️
  11. Love it!
  12. Those will fit Italeri wheels. Possibly the Dodge L700 as well.
  13. I don't know about aftermarket parts but the original Blazer issue, monster trucks, and Bandit issues have a bikini top. Could be worth inquiring about in the trade section.
  14. These are the Blazer ones. Definitely not the offset I had thought they were.
  15. ^wrong offset Looks like copies of the GTO wheel.
  16. That was me. ?
  17. There sure is a lot in common with the 1:25 kits. Very similar designs for things, such as the overall cab shape, the grille, grille guard, engine parts breakdown, even the aftermarket bed sides.
  18. The two short wheelbase trucks should still be viable, according to my research.
  19. How about these tires? From a Heller/Humbrol/Bobkit truck kit. Seems to be rubber and they do fit fairly tight. Haven't decided what to attach them with yet.
  20. I hadn't, but I could add it to the queue. ?
  21. I sure hope it has a current engine instead of the same old V8 we've had. Also hope they didn't go with a one piece chassis...
  22. I've been using a CPAP now for maybe 10 years now? It made a life and day difference in my life. I'm currently using a Fisher & Paykel Sleepstyle with the nose pillow type attachment. Works great for me.
  23. Aoshima has what you're looking for. ?
