  • Looking forward to this one. I’m puzzled over the blue hubcaps on the box art, but from what I’ve seen the kit looks great! *NM*
    • If I were to guess(and judging by the grille) , the chrome tree wasn’t plated yet so the builder painted the hub caps to match the body color but the actual ones will be plated . *NM*
      • Pretty sure that's a computer rendering, not a pic of a built kit. *NM*
        • Hmmm, you may be right ….correction “ the computer painted them body color cuz judging by the grille ,it didn’t have any chrome to go by” :^) *NM*
          • Yeah, likely colourized by computer program, but wondering why they weren't depicted as chrome (or white?). Maybe that's not the final version of the artwork. Regardless, looking forward to getting a couple of these. *NM*

              • It looks like that’s the truck they used for the box art model. *NM*
  • It would be great if they would retool a more accurate grill for it that could be used going forward on other '68/'69 reissues. They did finally make up some accurate halfton hubcaps though... and maybe a background of Banff for the Canadiana aspect :) *NM*
    • The merc badging looks to be very well done... *PIC*
    • A background of Banff for the Canadiana aspect :) That would be beautiful. *PIC*
      • A ranch/western background wouldn't be bad either... *PIC*
      • Wow! Is it really that gorgeous?! *NM*
  • Hmm, I might seriously consider adding that one to my collection. *NM*
