PierreR89 Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 Bought this today. Brings back alot of memorys from when i was little and my dad sometimes drove a Volvo f12 dumptruck when his N12 dumptruck was at the shop getting repaired. I also drove one from time to time when i worked as a mechanic to pull trailers in to the shop. I could have bought the new release from Italeri but for a true scandinavian truck they always have 3 axles to be able to handle the wintermonths. Maybe i make it in to the dumptruck my dad used to drive or i try to make it look like revells volvo f12 australia did, or just stock and paint it like the one i used to drive from time to time during my 7 years as a truck mechanic. 1
Mike C. Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 Last night while searching for one of the headers for the future1/16 Nomad project I'm amassing for, I found all of these. Off road tire/wheel sets that I completely forgot I bought many years ago. Now I have to find some projects to use them on. This morning I raced out to the Lobby (they still have 40 percent off model kits) and grabbed a Firestone F 150. I have some extra blue metallic that would look nice.
Mike C. Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 Sorry about all the redundant photos, I think my phone has gone haywire. ?

Nice, I've never seen those available as accessory sets before.
Mike C. Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 I remember getting them off of ebay. This was so long ago that I completely forgot that I bought so many sets. I can only remember seeing the Aoshima set on that 4 door Toyota Hilux recently. The really big Set is from the So Real '75 Blazer I posted a few weeks ago. I was thinking of saving them for a 1/18 project. Clean off your benches boys! You never know what you forgot you had. Especially when you get past 55. ?
Robberbaron Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 Picked up the Atlantis Mooneyes dragster at my LHS - last one on the shelf. Came home and my order from Jimmy Flintstone was waiting for me. Good way to end the work week. 1

I pulled the trigger. I bought the 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo conversion (front header panel/grill, w/ headlamp lenses,front bumper,tail light panel, rear bumper & added the stock full front bench seat) also snagged the '98 - '02 s10 front grill with light lenses & valance, & added the bucket seats with console. Wow!! Wylde's products are absolutely stunning! THX George!! Wylde! ....I'll be hittin' up your site real short-like!! Good looking parts,i'm interested in his conversion parts as well,was there a long wait to receive them?.
doorsovdoon Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 I'm sure I'm on a mission to build some of the worst kits I've heard about, Lol. I picked this '73 Mustang up to see if the rumours are true. The '69 Country Charger and '77 Pinto certainly didn't disappoint in regards to what's labelled as a "bad kit" Since I picked up model building again I think I've found the type of building I like, rough but simple kits that need a little more than just gluing together. 1

Sledsel Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 Was at Harbor Freight and ended up with a mini hack saw. Works much better than my hobby drag saw and is was only $4
Mattilacken Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 I jus had to get this one. Sealed for 54$ inc shipping. Not much for sealed kits so if anyone have one to trade that is complete body wise, since I don’t care for any other parts in it, but opened I can be open for such a trade. If no one have one to trade this one will be opened ?
OldNYJim Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Picked this up - I wanna build a detailed-up ‘70 Chevy pickup, and apparently this makes a good donor for the frame and suspension and whatnot…
Modlbldr Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Picked these up yesterday from a guy at work. The Beemer is sealed. The other two are sealed inside. Later- 1
Classicgas Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Was expecting a set of wheels from a member here, got this instead.

Casey Posted December 9, 2021 Posted December 9, 2021 Picked up this one to pair with the BSA I bought earlier this year: 2
Rob Hall Posted December 9, 2021 Posted December 9, 2021 Got my MPC 'USA-1' '74 Vega Pro Stock kit reissue today...haven't had a chance yet to compare it with the earlier Grumpy's Vega '72 release.
