cargostar Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 With the upcoming rerelease of the Scout SSII kit, I’ve decided to master some detail parts for the engine bay to correct some errors and add some interest to it. First piece ready for molding is the heater box for the right inner fender.
dino246gt Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Cool! I already made my own heater and other "stuff" but it's cool to see new stuff for Scouts! What else are you planning to make for the Scout?
cargostar Posted August 6, 2018 Author Posted August 6, 2018 There will be correct inner fenders, washer and overflow bottle, hood latch, m/cyl and brackets, jack, rad, and fan shroud. Undecided on a correct steering box/coloum, and shock mounts.
dino246gt Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Wow! I may have to do another Scout! I had 3 of them "back in the day", real ones that is!
Goose1957 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Great! Sign me up! I had to kitbash and scratchbuild stuff for my Scouts. Looks good so far. Please, please, please do a correct radiator and fan shroud as I couldn't find anything I liked in my parts box. Let me know if you need any detail pics of the engine bay as I took dozens of pics of my 1:1 Scout to do my engine bay on my builds. Thanks and good work. Jeff
cargostar Posted August 6, 2018 Author Posted August 6, 2018 Reference isn’t a problem. My daily driver is a Scout.
Goose1957 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Cool, wish mine wasn't too far gone. I'd love to restore it and drive it daily like I did when I was younger. Guess I'll just stick to my Jeeps now. Sigh...... Jeff
mikemodeler Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Cool stuff there Dave, should be good sellers. Now if we could get a first gen Scout, a IH Pickup truck and a Travel All then you would make me (and a bunch more folks) happy!
Goose1957 Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 OMG!OMG!OMG! Yes! Please produce these. I'll buy a couple. Jeff
dino246gt Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 Yes, that Travel All is looking fantastic and I'd sure like one!
Chariots of Fire Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 I'm with you guys on the Travelall! Dave: Put me down for one! I can see that added to the Department fleet!
cargostar Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 Hmmmm maybe I’ll get back on the Travelall But first mire Scout parts! Heres the hood latch and washer bottle.

Tom Geiger Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Fantastic! Put me down for a Travelall, and two sets of the underhood goodies! I had been scratch building the stuff, but I see procrastination is my friend once again!
cargostar Posted August 23, 2018 Author Posted August 23, 2018 Thanks! The Travelall is all scratchbuilt. There is nothing that even comes close, so had to scratch it.
dino246gt Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I got the newly re-released Scout kit, disappointing for me as I WAS hoping for better wheels and tires and decals, nope! While there are a set of spoke rims, the tires are identical to all the Scout kits, and there IS a decal sheet, but alas, no instrument or under hood decals.

Keith Marks sells a sheet with the Bicentennial graphics which comes with gauge decals-
Chuck Most Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 The Travelall looks good, so would a D-series pickup. (Cough, cough ) I'll definitely be good for some Scout parts as well.
Casey Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 I would love to see the Terra 'cab' piece, too, if that's on your to-do list, Dave. I think that would be a great offering for when Round2 issues the regular Scout.

mikemodeler Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 I have been working on something similar to Casey's pictures of a Terra but would love to have one of these in real life.
Chuck Most Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Wait a sec... Mike... did you figure out the whole "posting pics so people will think you build" thing???
