I think those are all rebadged Testor kits. None of them are new, they've been on the market for a while, IIRC, under different brand names.

I had picked up the Race Hemi at Walmart before they quit selling models a few years ago.

The 1:6 diecast Ford flathead V8 has been out for a while, but the Model T engine and the 1:4 transparent flathead V8 are listed as new.
Think they were announced something like 2 years ago, but various online vendors say they're coming this year...

Good news for me... I never did manage to snag one of those Flatties. Kind of like the Charger Cop Cars, these were on the 'delayed reaction' timetable, I guess.

1/6th scale is bad enough,wonder why they saw the need to do some in 1/4th scale. I was sure looking forward to their A990 (in 1/6th) to complete my MOPAR collection. It would be nice if they'd do some RB engines too.

I'm thinking of taking the Testors 1:6 Ford 427 and sticking it into one of those new 1:16 scale Shelby kits from Revell. You know... kind of a 'big Zinger' kind of deal. I'd still love to build a couple of these just oob, though.

Seeing how they can move the scale up and down,Just with these kits alone,you have to wonder why they don't give us something in a scale we can work with, I.E. 1/25, 1/16th ? Something else I wonder about, how is it so many different company's carry the same kit, Hawk, Testors,Revell, and I believe the company that started these monsters,Liberty?Don't get me wrong, I like them, as I have most of them spread across the top of a book shelf.

They really are nice, it's just they have the same problem that I had with 1/18th scale. They take up so much room I could for the more typical 1/24-25th scale things. Very tempting though and I'm just glad to see the name Hawk back on the shelves, even if just for the nostalgia factor.
