Thanks!

Good luck to entrants! 😁

I cross-referenced the catalogue with other sources and the duplicate '68 Corvette (14573) is actually the '85 Pontiac Fiero.

The scale, given Revell's history, often gets mixed up. I could see the 'Jimmy High Roller' being a reissue of the Monogram Jimmy (that hasn't been seen in a long time) with the High Roller suspension (a version Monogram never did). But, it is listed as an '85 which is different enough from the '75 that the Monogram Jimmy kit is that I dare say they would not make that mistake. So, my bet would be a GMC version of the Stranger Things Blazer with a new suspension and wheels. As for the '78 Chevy and go cart, that could conceivably be a version of the Monogram Chevy truck with the old Revell Honda Odyssey (off-road vehicle, not minivan!).

All grilles from '61-'66 for Ford and Mercury are available from Scale Speed Garage.

Fits great. 😎

The mirrors in the dually kit are straight from the old promos, unfortunately, which are actually the S-10 mirrors (and in South American GMT400s). Large tow mirrors that mount low on the door could probably be adapted from Fireball items, but 3DVM has the regular mount style mirrors that were on 88-93 trucks (also in the original kits and the monster trucks).

Canuck 3D has the wheels. https://canuck3d.ca/product/?cd3-034

He tends to put the files up on Cults after a period of exclusivity on his website, too, for those with a printer.

The best front suspension for a 2WD wrecker would be the one from the ramp truck.

The '60-'66 GMCs were the last generation to have significant differences from the Chevrolet counterparts. GMC had its own hood for the whole run (while Chevy had 60-62 and 63-66 hoods), leaf spring rear suspension (Chevy had trailing arms), and of course the GMC V6.

Revell did that for you: They both share the chassis with the Monroe Handler Mustang, which is incorrect for any of them... ?

I thought so! Didn't look like TRX wheels to me. But the gold stripes were the giveaway. ?

I don't know why it still shows then that way. I did separate them out as two different tooling families.

I fixed the W900. ?

There hasn't been much news from Revell as of late, they're keeping things close to their chest it seems. The '29 pickup is the latest announcement.

Please contribute! ? I am an active contributor to Scalemates and correct mistakes I encounter during my genealogical research when I come across them. Many of those corrections come from threads on this very board.

I need the Quark's boxing of the Cerritos! ?

I was browsing through the rest of your inventory to order the latest sets save noticed that you also offer Pontiac wheel covers/centre caps. What are the odds of modifying them for Acadians? I tried one but not entirely happy with my remedial skills... ?

Makes for a good donor for one of @Wylde's conversions. ?

The '68 El Camino tooled during the Ertl years is a completely different kit than the others and thus was not covered. Although I think we're briefly mentioned it during the video.

Thanks for the shoutout, @Stef! For a condensed history, browse the article. For more in-depth, watch the 2+ hour video... ?
