I think a kit of the first gen Scout would be a great seller, maybe in resin as I don't know if it would be as popular as the Revell first gen Bronco has been, but one can dream!

Is that meant to be the Nissan diesel that they offered in the later model years? No, this is an AMC 258ci, which was an optional engine in the later years.

Jordan White Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I keep forgetting that the gasoline I6 was an option, I never really see much mention of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scout II used the AMC 258 from 1971 to 1975. The Nissan 6 cylinder showed up in 1976-1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I guess I need to find the older style grille to make my truck accurate! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I saw that, myself. Great news if it really is coming. Not much in the way of options in the kit, but maybe we'll get a choice of Stock or Custom grilles. And hopefully some nifty decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatz4u Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I have the AMT/Ertl version, and no plans for it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Our own Casey has the instruction sheet for this kit. http://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/361/ertl-8030-international-scout-ss Looks like it may have two sets of rims, and some neat seats. Going to be a great kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I have the AMT release from the 2000s w/ the roof, this will be a nice variant to have also. Edited June 25, 2018 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Now, if only we could get somebody to do a Resin "Half-Cab" for it. This will be great next to the Revell Bronco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great, but only if the stock version of the kit is offered, half cab wouldn't look right on the off road version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Well, to my eyes, a half cab with the roadster doors is a perfect look. But, that is my taste. Not all will share it. I'll be combining one of these roadster with a full hardtop for another build, so to me there exist many options for this kit. Now to get a Baywatch Toyota kit, to scavenge parts and decals from. This roadster Scout looks like the perfect 1970's Lifeguard Unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacificEd Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 A Baja SSII race truck is high on my list of versions to build, probably one like Sherman Balch raced. For inspiration, go buy the Scout Encyclopedia book that was published about two years ago. It is full of images of the SSII's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafastcelica Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Just wanted to let you know i found 2 at hobby lobby last weekend. I bought them both. Might fine them out and about. I thought it was a September release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 So open it already! LOL. WE Wanna see what's in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafastcelica Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 To be honest, its a very simple kit. Only 53 pieces. Even though its simple I'm sure some of the higher skilled modelers will do amazing things with this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It's too bad that the Scout II isn't one of those subjects where a new tool with more pieces and more detail is a consideration. It's one of my favorite off-road vehicles and the AMT kit doesn't do it justice, especially under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
