Revell

• K.S. Pittman Willys Drag Coupe - 1/25 – Modified reissue of Revell’s very nice Willys. Same as new version Stone Woods and Cook Willys with new decals
• X-34 Landspeeder™ - ?? – RoG catalog lists as 1/14 scale but it appears smaller than that. Our best guess is between 1/24 and 1/20, perhaps close to G scale
• ‘62 Corvette® Roadster 2 n 1 - 1/25 - New tool. Multiple options. Appears to be new body on top of Pro Modeler C1 Corvette chassis and engine. Revell just received test shots so mounted on a display board. Expect late 2Q2012. Although all the test shots are still subject to change, there will be no hardtop in this kit.
• ‘29 Ford Rat Rod - 1/25 - Reissue with new decals
• ‘77 Chevy® Van - 1/24 – Reissue. Same short wheelbase van as in the Van with Race Car Trailer issue a few years back

Round2

• Polar Lights Batmobile – with Photo Etch fret
• 2010 Camaro Convertible – Show Room Replica Series. Unassembled promo type. I asked if they were going to update to 2011 as there does not appear to be any indication of a 2010 convertible due to a supplier issue. The rep didn’t know but would follow up.

Talked to Ernie and there is more in the Johan space they are planning but too soon to announce.

Moebius

There are some other items of interest to announce, but they are not locked down yet and too soon to publish anything. I took a few extra photos of the Hudson convertible and the subs.









Pegasus

New wheel sets are 15 inch, not 19 as perceived. There will be a higher profile white wall tire also used.

Tools and Paints

The Testor’s automotive paints will have more added to the enamels than lacquers. There will be improved primers made available in several color options, some flip-flop options, a wash and multi-colored pearl coat. There will be additional info on this by year-end.

The Iwata Neo airbrush for entry level airbrush years is double action and will retail in the $50 range. An interesting facet is a removable gravity feed cup with small and large cup sizes.

Innovative Hobby Supply had some interesting products, including a tape that mimics canvas, peel and stick chrome, wood grain, trunk floor mat and others.

The decals I bet will be a welcome addition to a lot of folks here . Thanks for the pictures and the updates . Ed Shaver

I only wish this one will be a forerunner of an '61 Corvette.

Umm ! Virgil ??

Sorry to point this out .... My man , you have been way past the edge for a looong time . Actually , it's more of a free fall into the Plastic Abyss !

Welcome to the flight , do not expect to land anytime soon ! So many kits , so little time and look what they are releasing now ! It's never going to end , is it ?

[Joe Handley]

Must have missed those Pegasus wheels over the weekend, I'd diggin' all three of them!

thanks for the info and the photos...man i cant believe they are bringing out those 1/25 slot cars. that nova looks interesting but bleah on the rest...i just wonder what makes them think they are going to sell? i cant really see it but what do i know...i know there was a revival of interest in slot cars but thought it was mostly 1/32 or at least thats what i was into...but my perception is that interest kind of came and went. now amt is releasing these? i recall they flopped back in the 60s when amt tried to ride the slot car gravy train a bit too late and a bit too short in the performance department. old time something come back again as they say in jamaica.
