Brutalform Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Tracking says mine will arrive tomorrow. 1
Brutalform Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 As soon as it comes I have to open it up and check to see if the body isn’t warped. Just out of habit. 1
rattle can man Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Tracking says Thursday, but it also shows it is in town. 1
bobss396 Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 I tried to buy one on Model Roundup but it kept kicking my email address back. I take that as a sign that I have too many things going. I see them on eBay for $38 with $13 for shipping. I can wait to source one locally. 1

Yea, I’ve seen a few of the Plymouth AWB kits on there going for $40 plus dollars, plus shipping, when you can just go on Modelroundup and buy it for $34. 1
bobss396 Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 (edited) I was watching another on eBay, this time an auction. It was up to $112 as of yesterday morning. My local hobby shop should have it eventually. Edit: Still holding at $112.50. I bet that the high bidder sobers up and backs on it. Edited December 18, 2024 by bobss396 Dghklutxs 1 2
mikemodeler Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 I have three of them, all pre-orders. The first one showed up Monday from Modelroundup, the other two came yesterday from Wes's Model Car Corner. Demand is greater than supply right now on these and supposedly a second run is being scheduled for early 2025. It is a nice kit, the wrecker body and gear is nicely done, surprised there aren't tow dollies like most had but I am sure the aftermarket will offer them to those that want them. The wheels are carry overs from the ramp truck with two sets of front wheels -2wd and 4wd- and the tires are from the plow truck. I saw the one on eBay for $112 and thought maybe the seller has a shill helping him run up the price or the highest bidder is willing to pay whatever and not shop around. I will get started on mine this weekend as I begin a two week vacation and have set aside time to be at the bench. 1 1
MurfTwice Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 I received mine on Monday the 16th. Only had a chance to look through the kit. A very detailed and can’t wait to start on it. 1
Spruslayer Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 Picked mine up today from my local guy Chriss Includes two instruction sheet with some color photos of the model 5 2
Chuck Most Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 I bought three immediately, because I got caught with my britches down with the service trucks and had to wait for everybody to restock. 🤣 I'll build at least one... 6
TopherMcGinnis Posted December 23, 2024 Author Posted December 23, 2024 Construction has begun..... 4
Biggu Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 Topher … that rotisserie is really cool. I have never seen that before. Is it something that is currently available and would it open up to put a big truck frame in? Watching your wrecker build with interest. ….. 1 1

You might can put 2 together to be long enough. 3

spkgibsonfirebird Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Does it have the actual 1972 grill in the kit? Or the 1971 grill? That happened with the snowplow kit. I had to buy the '72 short bed for the correct parts, now I have a short bed '71. I don't really think we need another '71 .
bobss396 Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Mine is due to show up on the 27th. I will likely dive right into it. 2

TopherMcGinnis Posted December 24, 2024 Author Posted December 24, 2024 Working on the stance. I could go lower, but it wouldn't be believable 3
bobss396 Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 Mine showed up yesterday. I wrapped it to me as a gift from my cat. But I opened it first... 1
Zen Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 Mine showed up yesterday from Burbank in about 4 days. 2
