1978 Dodge pickup? That's what the M880 was based on. Looks just like an M880 too.

I was just thinking the exact same thing - I drove an M880 in the MDNG before I was upgraded to a CUCV Blazer. That model would look great with some house-paint looking camo.

Weren't the M880/890 based on the 4x4 W200 & the 4x2 D200? Hopefully Round2 will reissue the 4x4 version of this kit as well.

I'm a model builder. There are things I can do and things I can overlook just to have a piece on the shelf instead of a wishlist.

I'd like them to actually release a dedicated M880 kit and then that early 1980s Chevy the CUCV was based on. Its aggravating that they did the Chevy kit during the model year and it never reappeared. All kinds of variations but not the specific truck.

I for one, am excited for the T/A.
