Re: looking for a model/ 83-88 ford ranger

Well,Good News/Bad News
The Good News With The 914,
Revell Did One Years Ago & They Can Still Be Found On Ebay Now & Then
But The Ranger Is Going To Be The Bad News,
No Ranger Kits Made Before The 93 Modelyear.
AMT Did Some 93-97 Rangers In Ther Snapfast(Promo Kits)
And Some Glue Kits(Even The Splash)

Re: looking for a model/ 83-88 ford ranger

alright well that ranger things kinda a bummer cuz bronco II's are good for 4x4 "soop" ups and stuff. but yeah with the 914, i had a friend who bought one off of ebay, except i think it was a subcompany of revell? i think and it was $50 BUT hopefully i can find one

thanks for the reply's.

Re: looking for a model/ 83-88 ford ranger

AMT made 5 Ranger models: 4 glue kits and the snap kit. Three of the glue kits were the same except for the wheel options, and one had some Coca Cola decals, and the 4th glue kit was also identical except for the Splash stepside bed. I'm told the Snap-Tite kit uses some of the same parts, but has fender flares molded to the body and a long wheelbase bed.

Nobody made the 80's era Ranger unfortunately. I would love to see one, I'm not sure why they didn't since it was such a popular truck.

Re: looking for a model/ 83-88 ford ranger

I used to have that style ranger mine was a 87' 4x4 brush bar roll bar. Ive recently been looking for a newer style ranger to replicate my future plans to my 99' but unfortunatly they dont make an extended cab, just slightly diff modifications of the 93'. So looks like i have some scratchbuilding grin*

but yea i would definatly like to see an 80's-early 90's style made.
