Dang talk about a let down. That would be a COOL kit to see come to market! Everyone here seems to love the old 32 highboy, and I thought I saw a thread recently about a LSR car that doubled as a belly tanker car and a front engine dragster.

One way to avoid the letdown, gents: pay attention to Revell's current style in box art, then realize the fake box is nothing like it.

Pity, too. The Deuce is nearly all there in current Revell patterns, and I'd bet the belly tanker's at least as safe a bet as the recent midgets.

Oh definitely, box art was a dead give away... still a let down.

Can anyone tell what kind of tires on on the deuce? Rears look like cheater slicks... I love the wheel/tire combo on it...

Cheater slicks, very similar to what came in the Rat Roaster

Maybe someone could forward this to Revell along with all the positive reaction. They've already got the start of a '32 in their current '32 kits.  Just need the bellytank. I'm getting tired of making my own! Lol!

Since we are late in the 4th quarter now, and it wasn't in the 3rd quarter flyer...that should be enough to know it wasn't real.  Would make an interesting kit.  I'm surprised So Cal Speed Shop hasn't done a deal w/ a kit maker for some merch..they've done diecast w/ Hot Wheels IIRC.

I wish it were real.  It's about time we had a belly tank and the '32 is a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH sight more appealing than that Rat Roaster abortion.  I'm not much into buses, but I'd go for a Scenicruiser.

this would never make it by the nit picker crowd, it's blatantly powered by the wrong engines, definitely not mouse motor small block engines.
