What the??? I think this would have been a better choice ( the Ex Van Lines ) Nascar/Indy car trasporter....

No kidding. That or at least the haul away car transporter. A normal box van is a bit of an odd choice from a builder’s standpoint.

I agree with you !

Box van has more smooth areas to carry the decals…..

but I agree with the above comments.

Besides, Round2 already had the van trailer molds ready to go.  Same as AMT has done in the past: same kit different decals.

Hard pass on this one.

Good point. And the open car carrier wouldn’t be the rolling billboard they’re after. But, yes, from a functionality standpoint, anything designed for auto transport would make much better sense.

This would have been better ?

other thought is. a couple months after the kit is released, you'll be able to buy the decals from Round 2 to put on any trailer you want..

That is what I'm hoping for ?

It would be neat if they had done it with the car hauler,kind off like the old tournament of thrills set,the trailer and  3 of the rat fink cars and the ford C-600.That would have been something Ed Roth might have actually done back in the day.That way you could justify it having chrome spoke wheels i have never seen any Semi with a chrome spoke wheel.  Harvey

problem with that is, Revell did the Ed Roth "Rat Fink" cars, and Round 2 has this round of licensing.

If we can get the decals, we can use them for any truck/trailer combo. Round 2 has a nice stand alone Rat Fink decal sheet out now, available at Round 2 or where ever Round 2 decals are sold. Some on ebay too..

LOL!  Italeri and Tamiya appeal to adults, Round2 to children.

I’d rather be a child at heart than a ornery old fart.

Few under 35 know Roth. 
Probably closer to 50+. 
At least it ain’t Ed Hardy.

Probably more like 65+... I'm 51, and Ed Roth stuff was before my time...
