chadrob30 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Anyone know anything about this? Hobby Lobby? Anything?
Harry P. Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Must be a brand new release (or re-release with new box art?)... I've never seen it before.
mike 51 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 LOL..they must be getting desperate for sales. 34 Ford? too funny!
chadrob30 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I've seen two posts about it on Facebook groups, but not where to find it. Edited October 7, 2015 by chadrob30

Harry P. Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 It says it includes PE parts... so that's new...
Richard Bartrop Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Some of the parts look like they might be usable for something.
Harry P. Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 If that grille insert is one of the PE parts, that alone is pretty cool.
Daddyfink Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 A terrible kit for a terrible trend Formerly known as this...
horsepower Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Yes, it's a '34 Ford Roadster,,, a Roadster pickup that is, a lot of older stuff with new box art and directions in the box on how to modify the kit to look like the box art. Think of the DTR Jalopy kits of the AMT '32 Ford kits.
chadrob30 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Ah ok. Just a rehash, trying to capitalize on the rat rod thing. Got it. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Art Anderson Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Lindberg call it a 34, but is actually a 32.As for '32-'34 Ford roadster pickups, there is almost NO difference in the real 1:1 cabs. The '33-'34 Ford truck cabs were a continuation of the '32 unit, the only noticeable difference being that the '32 Closed Cab has an extra, wider raised rib around the back of its cab, which Ford added, due to sheet metal fatigue from having the back of the seat bolted to the sheet metal cab back. That extra raised rib would not show on the roadster pickup body.Art
Richard Bartrop Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 If it's based on the pickup, then yes, 34 Fords do look like that, more or less
Brett Barrow Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 They've been out a week or two. I haven't opened one up for fear of melting my face off Ark of the Covenant style. It is an ancient Lindberg kit it's based on. It is made in the USA so it's git that going for it...

chadrob30 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Yes I believe so. http://oldmodelkits.com/jpegs/AMT 2134-150 34FordPup.JPG Edited October 8, 2015 by chadrob30
pack rat Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Didn't the pickup originally start out as an AMT kit, or am I thinking of something else?Yes, you're thinking of something else. This is NOT the old AMT Trophy Series kit that Lindberg found and reboxed in the '90's
Brett Barrow Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 The Roadster pickup is what we're talking about here. I'm 99% sure it's a Lindberg original from the stone ages, I don't think it's a Pyro or anything they picked up along the way. I think it just had a name originally it wasn't until 90's/2000's reissues (pictured above) it was labeled as a 34. The AMT closed cab 34 pickup is a classic. This is... not.
Don Sikora II Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 If anyone has one, could you please post a picture of the decal sheet? The Roadster pickup is what we're talking about here.

Art Anderson Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 If anyone has one, could you please post a picture of the decal sheet? Yes, I'm pretty sure this is an old Lindberg kit.It IS the same old, same old Lindberg kit from the 1960's. End of statement.Art
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Yes, it's the old oddly proportioned mashup of many elements, not one of which is really '34 Ford. It IS, however, a good place to start to build something cool. Bring saws.
Atmobil Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Maybe the PE sheet could be used on other 32 Ford builds?
