Nothing to update this month. I’m unable to get moulding gear for parts I’m copying. Ben

The shipping costs have definitely gone up. I’ve been selling things recently and sometimes the postage is more than the item. Ben

I’m just glad we’ve got talented people out there producing interesting trucks for us. Especially if they’re Older Mack trucks. Ben

Auslowe did a conversion for the B series, and Aussie Resin Models did one for the cabover. Ben

I’m very pleased with this! I’ve got the R800. Will look at getting one of these. Ben

Hi Tim. Are the 1/32 trucks (Mack SuperLiner, Ford LTL9000) AMT or ERTL? The boxes I have have AMT and ertl or matchbox on them. The Kenworth W900 was the last one rereleased and that’s a long time ago now. Hopefully we see them again. Ben

The fact remains truck modellers are a minority. It will most likely be limited run reissues as it has been for quite a while now. Moebius released a few new items, and I am looking forward to the flatbed trailer later in the year. I doubt we will see many new tools in the future, especially from AMT. Even italeri hasn’t released something new in 2020 for truck modellers. It’s all reissues. Hopefully we see something new and popular such as a kenworth, Peterbilt or Mack from a major manufacturer. Ben

That’s good for the people who missed out on the reissue over 15 years ago. I really would like to see their 1/32 range make a comeback. Also something completely new would be ace. This is great news. Ben

Very nice! Ben

I’m looking at using this bonnet/hood I’ve worked on. The external air cleaner access holes are good to go. What do you fellas reckon? Ben

Nothing much to update. Currently neatening up the chassis. Will start on the sun visor after my exam. Ben

Looks great! Well done getting her finished. I’ll try to finish mine before June. Ben

I 100% agree. I love Revell’s subject matter, it’s just let down by poor execution. It’s one reason I’m going back to sticking to Tamiya car kits. Ben

I definitely want to get mine finished. The weather is too humid to paint, so the build is stalled. Ben

Turned out great! Love the name you gave it. Ben

I couldn’t care less about box art. Just get to Tamiya standard. Ben

Great subject. But the body isn’t I’ll of sink holes, and fit issues. Ben

I feel your pain. I love Revell’s subject matter, but the kits are terrible lately. I’ve got the coupe back in it’s box. I’m studying currently, so I’ve gone back to building mostly out of box. It’s one reason I just build the current Tamiya kits. Ben

Awesome. Ben

Will be watching Ben

Looks ace! I really want one now. Ben

Wow! That’s nice! ive gone with Tamiya TS100, the colour for the AMG GT. Ben

I better get my GR supra done before I order the mustang. Ben

Hopefully the new Jag tool from Revell doesn’t have sinkholes everywhere. Ben
