caine440 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Love the Sox & Martin kit. I wonder how the intake and carbs and the wheel and tire combo will look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just found out that the '58 Corvette will be similar in content to the original Pro-Modeler version, not the later and more modern-optioned '59 like I speculated earlier.

niteowl7710 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Revell posted on FB that they're announcing tomorrow. Hope there's something like the NEW stuff for the 4Q or this is a leadup to nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I am looking forward to the Sox and Martin Cuda. I built the Johan version a couple decades ago. If they fix the fender flares, this will be a "must have" kit for another Sox and Martin car, and a couple more for other race and street/strip projects. (440 powered bracket car?) I am waiting to see if Revell fixes their Mustang body. If they fix it, I am in for at least three or four of the drag version. These can be backdated to street machines too. I will be grabbing a couple of the 510s. I hope they reissue the 240z someday too, as they would make a neat pair. I also might grab a 58 'vette just to keep my 62 company. I have enough of the 59 Impalas in my stash to last a lifetime, so I won't be buying any more, but It is a cool kit. In the end, Revell always seems to end up with some of my money!

RatRod Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Seriously? Has anyone seen the BIG reveal this morning? They are at Detroit giving away free snap kits of a 2015 Mustang, and they have a video of "Dummy McGoofball" building one.....WOW......NOT.

Luc Janssens Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Nobody said the news was aimed at us. As a marketing stunt this has potential, tooling paid by Ford? I'm sure a full detail kit will follow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Was there a 2nd quarter brochure released yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Like I said in the other thread I'm just happy to see that a car manufacturer is willing to work with a model company while the car is still top secret. I don't think promo models were high on the priority list during the recession of the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I wonder if the drag versions of the Mustang and Cuda will be single version only or 2n1 kits. IIRC, the '58 Corvette was available originally as a 'Pro Modeler' kit, then they did the 2n1 '59 variation of it (black on the box w/ flames). IIRC, the '58 PM version had optional parts, but different ones than the '59. I don't remember the '59 Corvette. Does anyone have a link to the box art or something?

Rob Hall Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't remember the '59 Corvette. Does anyone have a link to the box art or something? Black car w/ flames and TT wheels on the box top. Labeled as a Monogram, was out briefly back around 2002 IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Must have been very briefly. I can't find any info on it.

stump Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So.....are we allowed to "speculate" or use this as a kind of "wish for" thread too?? Just thinking aloud once more, but seeing as Revell do often listen to us guys, having just released an ALL NEW tool of the 70 Cuda (after years of not having a proper version)... Does anyone think that in the foreseeable future (close or distant) that we may finally get a NEW, accurate 70 Challenger????? I mean their last effort (retooled die-cast? ) was atrocious in most hobby guys eyes by what I've seen and read. I did not even bother buying one myself. And the old Amt Challenger (purple box art/convertible top) that still does the rounds on eBay is less than a great kit too in my eyes. Surely the market is screaming for a new kit? I would buy a case of them, that's for sure. Ok, standing down.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I wonder if the '59 Impala ht will be the same issue from a few years ago that had the period custom parts that are in the current convertible. Or the lowrider version. Or maybe a Foose version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddyfink Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Would have been nice if they would have done the #85 BRE 510 instead of Ol' #46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hopefully somebody will print the decals for that one too. But then I would have to buy another one of these kits. I did one of these when they were released as an ssp kit during the '90s. I also had the street machine version from a few years later. They build up nicely and are a really pretty kit once you clean off the acre or two of flash on them. It's a lot of work, but it is a great old tool. I'm glad to see it back. I would build the BRE racing version, and probably a street version. Revell is really going after my Money this quarter. Thank Goodness they aren't releasing the 240Z or I would go broke...

PARTS GUY Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks for posting that. I was excited to buy an original revel bre Datsun two months ago, and now I will be able to buy another new one. Very cool. Has anyone seen details on the cuda?

slusher Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Looking forward to the Datsun 4x4. It may be me but the cherry bomb bike never look to scale with the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Has anyone seen details on the cuda? From what I see in the flyer image, the hood scoop looks a bit "off" and doesn't appear to be the correct Six Pack scoop, and the stock bucket seats are still present, meaning no racing bucket seats.

tim boyd Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The S+M 1970 Cuda did have stock ft bucket seats In fact, the entire '70 Sox and Martin Pro Stock is much closer to factory stock than the '71 S&M, which was one of the points I made to Revell when I recommended this as a second version of the '70 'cuda tool (I'm sure others also recommended it). The version that I was referring to was in a five page feature color article in the October, 2009 issue of Popular Hot Rodding magazine. As Bill mentions, it had the stock front seats, and the hood scoop is close to, but I can't quite tell if an exact match, to the one in the article.
