The Junkman Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Would somebody, SOMEBODY(!) convince Revell to release their slotcars in 1/25 or 1/24. Even if it was just a body kit. Every one that they have issued (i.e. Greenwood Wide Body Corvette, T-70, etc) are all subjects I would buy multiples of. And let me add to the chorus of more modern cars. CTS-V, BMW M Versions, AMG Mercedes-maybe a co-production agreement with Revell DE. I sure can spend their money for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 it would be even NICER if they would reissue the big drag!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 >Agreed, but didn't the most recent Big T reissue have pretty much all of the Big Drag parts except for the blower? i dont think so, there was a lot more to the big drag than the blower i think. most or all of the stuff was available in those parts packs such as the center seat roll bar, the moon tank, steering wheel and a number of other parts...headers had to have been special(?) plus i think the floorboard is different but maybe not. if all that stuff came out in a recent big t, then i missed it and gotta find one!

Cain't he'p noticing the details on that selfsame website about the '72 Olds - evidently we get a choice of rear axles, induction setups, and transmissions in that kit...

Billy Kingsley Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I find it funny seeing all these posts about new cars. It's all just a bunch of letters, and aside from the Mustang, I couldn't identify a one of them! I am happy with this news. I bought an original unbuilt AMT 66 Convertible a few years back, IIRC paying $90 for it, and at that it's got some issues, tire mark melted in, chassis broke, and some parts painted but still on the trees. Seeing this hardtop makes me happy, I will be in for at least one, perhaps two, one to be factory stock, and one to be a mild custom. If, amazingly, the hood should fit into the AMT annual's hood hole (?) I will need a third for parts alone! (I can fix the tire mark on the hood, but I have not yet) The 72 Olds...hmm...I will probably only get one of them. I'm not a big convertible fan, I think I've built less then a handfull. 3 I think! Still, I love to check out a new tool when I can! I'll probably get one of the 57 Chevrolet, if the body style is actually something I don't have yet. I'm going to wait until it's actually out before I am sure. I agree with Larry, in this instance, that I can't believe they have never done a convertible! Even though I'm not big on them, I have to imagine it would sell incredibly well, and yes, even I would get one! The 30 Fords, oh yeah, for sure. Even though it is a classic kit, I don't have one and I will have to add that one in to my stash. For the 60 Impala, I will probably end up with one of them, as I want to build two and only have one of the original issue; this one will likely become the car Bobby Allison made his Grand National debut in in 1961. That 37 Ford looks like a 38 to me. I missed the 37 pickup the first time it was issued so I will get it this time. I will be passing on the rest.

stump Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Ser-weeeet !! Hey, I'll be the first to raise my hand and say, "I wasn't overly interested (duh !) in this (Big Tub) when I saw it announced"........................SAY WHAT !!! To be honest, I had no idea "what" it was......I read where people were getting real excited by it, and thought......why ?............ NOW I KNOW............................... Growing up downunder, back in the 60's..we missed out on a lot of the new releases you guys got.....and I was only into 1/25 at that stage in life..... Geez....it was years before I even saw a 1/12 kit...... Ok, I'm down for one of these Big Tub's now......I'll save it for later..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972 Satellite Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 The '65 Impala was the only Impala not to have the seperate frame from the floor pan. I know, I know, the flaming starts already. Still, can't wait to get my mitts on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 So....has the Revell '57 hit store shelves yet? I really haven't heard any buzz about this one on the forum. I wonder if "Decal with factory stock markings..." means the trim insert will be done with a decal, allowing for a 210 as suggested above?

Casey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 here's what Revell COULD do to make a halfway decent Hemi Dart, no idea on what they've done or are planning on doing. new floor pan section for the interior without the center console and no rear seat. new door panels with the window regulators removed. no need to add the strap detail for the window as you have to choose to engrave the panel with it up or down. easy to do it with the strap up to replicate a car with the windows down since there is not door glass included in the kit. also a set of A-100 style Bostrom seats and lightweight brackets as well as the early Hurst "box" style Shifter. doing it as an automatic makes the current 8 3/4 rear axle acceptable and makes use of the tooling in place already for the big-block and 727 combo. wanna tool up a 4-speed version? then a Dana 60 rear axle will be necessary and something that will need to be tooled(borrow this from the '68-'69 Charger kits) doing a 4-speed also requires a new floor pan section with the 4-speed hump and a Hurst Competition Plus shifter. new smooth rear trunk panel. Hemi Darts had no trim across the back of the trunk. this will mean for Revell tooling up a new body or filler piece for the trunk as well as a rear bumper/taillight assembly. the body is necessary anyways to get us the "correct" Hurst modified rear wheel openings. newly tooled flat hood with the unique Hemi hood scoop. newly tooled cross ram intake and Holley carbs as well as Hemi heads and Hooker headers. add to those Holley's the correct style flat velocity stacks. newly tooled 14" for the front and the unique to the Hemi Dart 15" rear rims with the correct offset and domed center as well as appropriate tires. an optional set of period "racing mags" would be nice as well as expected. rear slicks already exist in Revells inventory that will work and be appropriate. keep this one generic in it's racing livery and give the builder the option of the "factory delivered" version in grey primer and black gelcoat. period correct racing contingencies and some nice artwork like the Nova, '68 Charger and recent '64 Fairlane kits for lettering and names. let Slixx handle the decals for the famous and well known cars. Dave While I agree 100% with your suggestions, Dave, I can't help but think this kit is a Catch 22 of sorts for Revell. Do they do it as correctly as possible (including a new body with the correct rear wheel arches), or close enough? I think the latter, at least judging by the picture Revell has been using to promote this kit: And seriously, has ANY kit EVER included a 4-speed hump? Can you imagine the box top teaser- "Includes both 727 and A-833 transmissions, with a correct 4-speed hump for the A-833. It looks like it's going to wear a set of Cragar S/S wheels, too. I wonder if they're going to use the Hemi and related drag parts from the '67 GTX/Coronet R/T/'68 Charger in this kit, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubaja Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Casey, the 57 and 60 chevy were just at my LHS last week. Didn't peek in the boxes, but looked pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Uhhhh, a 426, the ONLY hemi you could GET in one????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Uhhhh, a 426, the ONLY hemi you could GET in one????? Technically, it will be a 2'n'1 Special Edition release, so it may also have the RB big block engine. I'm guessing the hoodscoop from the '68 Charger (first used on the Dick Landy Charger kit?) will be included with the Hemi Dart, too.

Janne Herajärvi Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Lots of great kits coming soon Any idea when that `62 Impala is coming out? I sure buy at least one, just becouse `62 models are my favourites from 60`s full size Chevys Dart and `55 Chevy are in my target too. Oh and that `66 Impala, so lots of money burning again on this year, GREAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the test shot of it I saw at I-Hobby Expo looked very good. I think Round2 really missed the boat by not doing it first based on the Convertible kit. -Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan White Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Apparently, they will be re-releasing the Monogram Ford F-250 kit (I already have an order placed for mine! ) According to Hobbylinc.com, it is supposed to be out at the end of March. http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/mon/mon857212.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
