Here's a look inside the box:

 

Rat Roaster video

Thanks, Harry.

 

I wonder, if GREG MYERS would mind putting it as part of the #1 post?  Thank you.

 

I hope others will post pictures of the parts they love, and also videos, if you have a YOUTUBE channel.

 

The more glimpses the better.

I know, I know, It just ain't right. Putin' a Chevy in that thang. Should be a Ford engine.

They're cool in a Harley frame. In a car they're just kind of lame and 'been there done that'.

[Dr. Cranky]

Well, this is part of the reason why I posted the video on its own thread so that people could just go and watch the unboxing to see what comes in the kit.

 

But that's okay, I can post reminders here and there along the way.

 

I don't just want people to see what comes in this kit, I WANT PEOPLE to LOVE the options that come with the kit.  Best, DC

Another revell let down:/

[Blown03SVT]

well... with all the other versions of this 32 maybe RM will see fit to come up with a accurate vintage version. Cross you fingers on that one.

I am now the proud ower of a RAT  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After looking at all of the parts, parts trees, decals, what's in the box, videos and phone camera shots it's it's finally dawned on me there's no "up top" in this kit.

So count me out.

[Draggon]

Granted there are some funky things for us traditional guys, but those tires are perfect. I can deal with the tube axle and the headers, and that interior, but those dang tires are so nice! And they fit the AMT 40 ford steelies!

I hope that's sarcasm.

And on a brighter note: the front axle, even though it's still a tube axle, has been modified to lower the front end a couple scale inches.

So, it's got that going for it...

Hmmm......... I just opened the rat roaster, and the chrome tree for the highboy that has been in storage. The axles look identical. Is there something I'm missing? Is it the frame?

The tabs that attach it to the frame

[mademan]

I dont care what anyone says.... I have a case on order and if the tires are that nice in person , Ill be getting more.

FOR THOSE OF YOU STILL SALIVATIN' AND WAITIN', here's a repost of the video link:

 

And I totally agree with Glenn Asher, the wheels and tires are FABULOUS.

Another revell let down:/

Where ???  So many extras...I want to THANK Revell for a great kit !!!

Where ???  So many extras...I want to THANK Revell for a great kit !!!

Amen to that, Greg.  I've literary slept with the kit under my pillow last night.  It spoke to me, all that great plastic, it said, if you build me, you can use all my parts (along with all the other great Revell 32 kits of recent) to build to your imagination's specs . .  

 

Nobody is talking about the interior.  I love it.  I think it's a great option.  The guitar is a plus.  The engine can be swapped or dressed in a gazillion number of ways.

 

Really, what's not to like about this kit.  Oh, and you will see once you are holding one in your hands, that the parts are clean and made out of this sturdy beautiful white plastic.

 

For all lovers of the 32, this is definitely a re-energizing canvas.  What's on your mind?

[Ace-Garageguy]

I'll be buyin' 'em for parts. Who wants all my extra hoods?

[Dr. Cranky]

Actually, Bill, that hood can be cut and you can put those holes on the side of say a 48 Ford or a 49 Merc.  Imagine how cool a 49 Merc would look with those bad boys on its hood?  Just a thought.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Great idea sir.
