maxwell48098 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I guess if I didn't already have around 10 of these kits already I would be more excited. The nice thing is that this kits can be combined with the Modelhaus 1957 and 1958 Ford cabs which drop right on. A.J.
thatz4u Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I have one the old kits, I noticed that the Revell 50 F-1 dropped axle is the same width which greatly adds to the wheels that can be used for it..
pharoah Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I've only got 2 of these. I saw the part about 'pad prinred tires',and thought-OK,one more.. It could only be cooler if they had used the Wildkat boxart.
unclescott58 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Does anybody make a conversion to turn one of these into a Canadian Mercury pickup truck. If they do, I'll need another one. Scott
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I didn't know it was coming back. I have a couple of older issues that have been cherry-picked, so I'll have to be havin' a couple of these.

chunkypeanutbutter Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I found that custom grille a while ago in a parts box, and the radio went in my International flatbed. Funny how you find stuff like that. I have a couple of MPC flipnoses I've been looking to build, maybe I'll put that grille on one. Edited September 17, 2014 by chunkypeanutbutter
mnwildpunk Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 What is that custom grille? It reminds me of a certain grille but I can't place it
unclescott58 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Now that would be cool ! An M-100 conversion ... Tailgate and what else ? Tailgate and a hood with correct emblems should do it. The rest is pure Ford. Scott
Modelbuilder Mark Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I have not picked p one in years, so I will likely be getting one.
ChrisBcritter Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 What is that custom grille? It reminds me of a certain grille but I can't place it It's similar to the Barris-built "Wild Kat" custom that was destroyed in the 1958 shop fire: http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?title=Wild_Kat
Junkman Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 That '53 Ford Pickup - the old AMT box art is shown with all those nice custom parts, but then there is a MPC part number for it. Hence I wonder which one will really be reissued, the AMT, or the MPC Flipnose/Tiltbed?

Hence I wonder which one will really be reissued, the AMT, or the MPC Flipnose/Tiltbed? Says 'AMT'...part number is AMT882. http://www.round2models.com/models/amt/1953-ford-pickup
Junkman Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Says 'AMT'...part number is AMT882. http://www.round2models.com/models/amt/1953-ford-pickup Excellent! Includes 392 Hemi IIRC?
Rob Hall Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Excellent! Includes 392 Hemi IIRC? I believe so...here are the instructions http://www.round2models.com/files/instructions/amt882.pdf
tim boyd Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I believe so...here are the instructions http://www.round2models.com/files/insto atructiions/amt882.pdft It's actually a Desoto Firedome Hemi V8. Similar in design to a Chrysler Firepower first gen Hemi, but essentially shares no parts with the Chrysler in 1/1 scale....TIM

I know one Street Rod series kit had the Chrysler FirePower, one had the DeSoto Firedome, and one had the Dodge RedRam, but I forgot which had which. OK, now I know the '53 Ford has the DeSoto.

'29 Model A roadster has the RedRam iIRC...don't know which kit had the FB.
tim boyd Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) '29 Model A roadster has the RedRam iIRC...don't know which kit had the FB. Yes. the '29 A Roadster (and the Ala Kart/'29A Double Kit that preceded it) has the Dodge Red Ram. The original AMT '32 Ford Roadster kit had/has the Chrysler Firepower Hemi (along with the Double Dragster kit that came along shortly thereafter)....of course may other kits have Chrysler Hemis as well.... Desoto Firedomes can also be found in the Monogram Lil' Coffin and the original MPC Carl Casper Phone Booth T (and the Monster Machine kit derived from it, although it lost the valve cover lettering in that transition).

southpier Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 the little metal hood hinge seals the deal for me!
tim boyd Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 What happened to the info that was posted in response to the kit's optional engine question from Junkman and Rob Hall? Thanks....TIM
1972coronet Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 What happened to the info that was posted in response to the kit's optional engine question from Junkman and Rob Hall? Thanks....TIM What info are you referring to , Tim ? I see both Junkman and Rob Hall replies ; am I missing some-thing ?
Casey Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 What info are you referring to , Tim? There were three other posts which were left behind, but now have now been moved into this topic.
