John Goschke Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Really looking forward to the '57 Ford! The kit looks perfect in the photos. I hope the '57 Chevy BelAir ragtop will have the windshield frame molded to the body rather than a clunky, ill-fitting chrome piece like the ones in the '55 Chevy and '59 Cadillac convertibles!

ssroczyn Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Did I see somewhere that they were going to re-release Boothill Express? I could have sworn I saw that. Anyone know? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Did I see somewhere that they were going to re-release Boothill Express? Yes, it's supposed to be released in December 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 1/35 scale, VERY cool kit with working steering, working rear suspension, working outriggers and functioning wrecker boom. It has been issued several times as a military wrecker and once as a funky civilian wrecker in white with chrome parts. Is this the civilian version?: And is that a skunk figure???: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Is this the civilian version?: And is that a skunk figure???: Yep, that's the one. I think that is a skunk! LOL I don't rember it being included in the Revell version that I had but it may have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydar Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Why in world would they make the '53 Corvette in 1/24 when almost every other Corvette they make is 1/25??? it is highly unlikely that after buying at least 6 different Revell Corvettes in 1/25 that i am going to buy a 1/24th. I really think that is stupid. I am sorry, but this makes no sense. Sorry, rant over. joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsepower Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Actually, the VIN does identify V8 cars. The number will start with a "V" on V8 cars. Here's the Factory ID guide showing how the read the VIN (originally calles Serial Number) http://chevy.oldcarm...resto/57011.htm Also, weren't the V emblems deleted on the "sixes"? I know that on the "Fuelies" they were plated in the gold color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 85-4057 1/24 '53 Corvette Roadster Anyone know how this compares with the AMT '53 Corvette (other than 1/25 vs 1/24)? I'm building the AMT kit now and it is a nice kit, but I have ideas for another '53 Corvette. Since they are re-issuing the kit and the AMT is fairly easy to find on Ebay I have options.

Erik Smith Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 What's up with that Willys? That's not a pretty box. The Rat Roaster should be a very interesting kit - I will be looking forward to seeing what the parts look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edsel-Dan Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hope they add the Stock parts from the El Camino to the 66 Malibu wagon this time since they put the hot-rod parts from it in the Recent 2n1 El Camino!! I have the original's of both. El Camino is Stock Only Wagon needs the hood, tires & hubcaps from El Camino to be stock!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpiguy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 "January 2013Revell USA 85-1978 1/25 Grave Digger Monster Truck SNAP85-4052 1/25 '03 Chevy SSR 85-4909 1/25 Willys Street Rod 85-4918 1/25 Challenger 1 w/ Mickey Thompson Figure 85-4995 1/25 Stacey David's Rat Roaster" I honestly don't understand Revell wasting time on the SSR kit. They didn't sell well in the real world and I have yet to hear of anyone say they wanted another model of it. I've also never seen one being displayed at any model shows. Maybe it's just me. I think they should have put their time into something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
