So what does it do? Does it go out, pick up, then move in and release? That's what it looks like it does. If it does, there must be some really interesting gearing or cams or pulleys inside.

| I'm kinda leery about using those decals on the model since they are the original 1959 decals that came with the kit.

I have a couple clam shells of various makes and sizes (packed away in storage). One is on a crane in fact. Another one I have is still in it's package and I believe it was an early Stewart product made of brass. So, they are out there!

Badman, that Revell kit is awesome! I've always been partial to those Ubiquitous Ford Trucks, especially the not so ubiquitous ones with the quad headlamps. Nice find!

Badman55!
I really like that Ford!
Here are mine!
If you are going to use the decals. Make sure they are clean and then spray them with a couple coats of a clear paint to prevent them from cracking apart when you soak them.

Thanks Mustangs_n_Trains! They are clean, and I had the same thought on spraying them with the clear coat. May consider it.
