Force Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) I have one each of the RoG Can-Do and Will-Do and the only difference is the decals, and I hope they will reissue them again, and more of their old truck kits soon...the prices on ebay on the RoG truck and trailer kits are a bit steep.

Petetrucker07 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 What would actually be cool, if they would reissue it with the Can-Do decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 A little bird has produced the rumor that there are some all new wrecker kits coming! This is all I know on this at this time. Once I find out more I will let y'all know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I find out more I will let y'all know.That is great news, let's hope it progresses beyond the rumor stage. It would be nice to see some modern wrecker kits (light, medium or heavy duty!) and a flatbed option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to see some modern wrecker kits (light, medium or heavy duty!) and a flatbed option! Yeah, I agree 100% on all four. I would love to see some modern equipment and I have a fleet of duallys needing beds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 What would actually be cool, if they would reissue it with the Can-Do decals. That would be nice, but the truck was incorrect for the true Can Do. At least they also brought out the snap Petes and KWs with the correct engine for Can Do, so correcting that isn't as much of a problem now.

Force Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The Stepp's Towing Services Can-Do is a 379 119 and the kit is the older 359 so it will not be completely correct even if you cange the engine to a Cat 3406 and make it a ATAAC.So as long as we don't get a correct 379 they can make what decals they want for future releases.

highway Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Yes, I know that there is more than just the engine that is incorrect for Can Do, and also depending on which version of Can Do also, because Stepp's has rebuilt the truck entirely. The entire kit would be incorrect for the new rebuild with the exception of the main pieces of the wrecker bed and rotator, and even the bed would have to be modified for the new underlift.

Force Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yes you are right, I have found some pictures of the early version but there are not that many of the truck after the restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray07 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 wasn't there a 1/48 scale wrecker too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 wasn't there a 1/48 scale wrecker too Close, AMT did a 1/43 scale Peterbilt in the 70s similar to the 1/25 scale kit they had. It wasn't a rotator though, if I remember correctly it may have been a Holmes 750 unit on it. I'm sure there are probably other in the model railroad world, 1/48 is "O" gauge, and I have these two, the big wrecker is "HO" gauge and the Ford is "N" gauge.

The 1/43rd Peterbilt did have the Holmes 750 wrecker bed, nicely done but sure would have been nice to have it in 1/25. That little Ford wrecker looks like a shrunken version of the recent Revell GMC kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
