I notice that the '48 Ford Custom Coupe is not in the Revell 2011 cataloque. There were built up models at iHobby Expo 2010 last October which appear in Model Cars #44. Will this kit be released in 2011?

yes its still coming out, none of the websites are showing release dates so at the earliest I would expect it will be late summer early fall 2011

Man, gotta love it when it's about 18 years between the time a kit is announced and when it actually hits the shelves, huh?

Well it's not in the 2011 catalog, because it's in the 2010 Fall Release Brochure...

But beyond that there is a Chicago area club that had a thread in General about Revell bringing out kits to them, and if I recall it right, they were still getting the test shots to look right.

Sure beats the heck out of trying to chop the top on an IMC 46-48 Ford! I bet they are going to sell a ton of these.

I just wish they had sent out scribe lines inside the body so we stock and stock hight folks could have had the option. Look, some of us have built "Stock- Hight street rods such as I did for an employer in 1989............. Ed Shaver

Meh. While I'm not 100 percent certain, I do feel reasonably confident I can find something else to work on in the meantime!

Second that. If I didn't buy another kit starting...NOW...I would be set for about 100 years at my current pace. So, take your time Revell (although I will buy one when they come out). Come to think of it, will there be a need to stash kits in 100 years?

[Greg Myers]

Will we be here in a 100 years? So take your time Revell ? They already have.It's not about what we already have. It's about anticipation. It's about looking forward to something new, something we don't already have, something that's been promised.

But I don't want to build the 700 or 800 kits I have stashed! I want to build THIS one!!!!

AND the upcoming AMT Manx dune buggy reissue...

Yup, and Ken abides.

Although Most here is a runner-up. His has, like, Adonis balls 'n stuff.

I want to bash one of these with the woody kit already!
(and by 'one of these' I don't mean the Revell '48 Coupe. I mean I want to bash the woody with a Ken Snyder LP.)
