NNL East New Truck Kit News? Please post updates here....

[tim boyd]

Regrettably I will be missing the NNL East this year. 

But I think that there is a good chance that there will be at least one "bombshell" new model truck kit announcement at the NNL East this weekend. 

For the benefit of those of us who do not use Facebook or other social media, can those of you who are attending post any applicable new kit announcements (with photos if possible) here the MCM forum?   

Thanks in advance and have a great time at the show....TIM 

 

(PS -at times in the I've been proven wrong on these predictions - so don't take this guess as being gospel....just sayin'....TB)

It was mentioned on the Round2 Facebook page that Steve Goldman was going to be at the show with some new kit announcements. No exact specifics but should be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves. I suspect that by noon Saturday, if not sooner, the internet will be a buzz with the news of what is coming.

Nice Rereleases from Revell. Is there anything new big rig wise from AMT/Round2?

I'm pretty sure that tank trailer was issued with the Mack R600 a while back. Wasn't the reefer issued with the Freightliner?

I am intrigued by the Atlantis 1926 Mack AC

I'd like to see if I can convert it to a 1918.

That one has actually been out for a while (in case you weren’t aware…) - I’m not enough of a Mack fan to know the difference between this kit and the 1918 variation…what changes would you need to make, do you think?

More Spokes in the Front & Rear Wheels for a start.

RPM Models sells a 1/72 Mack Bulldog that might help convert the big one.

I believe AITM used to have a back dating kit for the AC Bulldog.

I would be all for getting the packaged ice trailer if it was 1:25. I used to work in 3 different ice packaging facilities.

I think the biggest change would be the wheels. I built the AC dump truck & the kerosene lights are in the kit.

That's the look I'm going for, but in 1/24.

Yes Dave did I asked him on several occasions if he would cast the parts up for me he said when he moved he misplaced them and can’t find them. He never did get back to me if he found them who knows where they are now. The back date parts include Radiator, Hood, and Wheels that I can remember. Good luck getting them now.

The biggest change is the Radiator and Hood for the Pre 1918.

Ben I’m so glad I ordered as much as I did from him when I could. I got just about every thing I want from him until Covid hit and seems trying to order from him after that was a nightmare so I gave up ordering from him the summer of 2020 and never looked back.
