I doubt that version will be reissued for a long time, with both the convertible and coupe currently available.

Keep your fingers crossed and maybe in October at iHobby Revell will have something to announce.

Yes, at IHobby they will have their stuff together for the first half of 2013 I am sure.

The remaining kits on the books with no release date attached to them are:

85-1970 1/25 Snap Humvee
85-4012 1/24 '92 Firebird Formula
85-4017 1/25 Dodge Ram Pickup
85-4034 1/24 Ferrari 599 GTO (this is a re-box of the Revell Germany kit due out in September, so anyone that wants one of these, save your pennies and wait for the Revell USA boxing...usually about $10-$15 cheaper for the same kit)
85-4283 1/25 1957 Ford Custom 2 n 1
85-4909 1/25 Willys Street Rod
85-4916 1/25 Sox/Martin '67 Plymouth GTX
85-4018 1/24 '87 Buick GNX
85-4019 1/24 '64-1/2 Mustang Convertible
85-4995 1/25 Stacey David's Rat Roaster
85-4999 1/24 Boot Hill Express
85-4035 1/24 Original Mini Cooper

And a few Revell Germany kits yet to have a date for yet:

07092 1/24 MiniCooper 60er Jahre
07406 1/24 Kenworth Dump Truck


As well, Revell has been making some noise about going after a Nascar license again, and have been putting a few feelers out to gauge the interest. I would love to see them do the modern cars (as well as the Nationwide as I personally think the Mustangs, Challengers and for 2013 the Camaro look much more interesting), but as well would love to see them do the late '60s to late '70s cars as well.

I'm wondering if they will be able to shorten the lead times on the development of modern Nascar racers, something you don't have to worry about, when you're releasing something like a Petty Superbird.
Also any news if they will be WOF or full glue kits?

At this point it is just some feelers they are putting out to gauge interest. But being Revell, I would think they would think that they would be full glue kits.

As long as the Nascar license doesn't end up shooting the retail on them through the roof, they should be OK. The Round 2 kits are cool and all, but they are just a simple snap kit, and pricey at that for a snap kit.

Looks like the ex-Monogram 427 Shelby Cobra and Badman '55 Chevy both made it.

im sorry if this was covered before and i was too lazy to see it, but how "tom daniels"-ized is that badman chevy? by that i mean, is it cartooned up a lot like most of his designs or is it more down to earth and an actual decent reproduction of a chevy gasser? how is the motor and chassis detail?

thanks for any guidance, usually i dont mess with tom daniels stuff but this one looks nice judging from the artwork anyhow.

It's closer to real than fantasy show rod. The blown small block Chevy is basic, and the headers look more like Z-11(?) aluminum exhaust manifolds, but the engine looks OK...but pretty basic. The interior has custom bucket seats from an earlier issue, separate rearend and leaf springs, but the driveshaft is molded as one with the rearend IIRC. The basics to recognize it as a '55 Chevy are still there, and the added "gasser" type parts (solid front axle, blower, ladder bars) are a bit dated, but I think this is one of the more enjoyable old school/retro kits. The red tinted glass is an odd but neat feature, except for the hood scoop- that just looks weird.

The rear American Racing 200-S "Daisy" wheels aren't too bad, either.

Scott, do Revell and Revell of Germany kits ship to you from the same place? Do they ship together or are they shipped separately from each other?

Thanks for the update.

[High octane]

Even MORE kits? I'm not done with the ones I already have. It seems like we're in a vicious circle, no?

[niteowl7710]

Interesting as HLJ claims to already have the Revell AG Ferrari 599 GTO in stock. Wonder how they rate to get it a month early.

James, not sure if you checked Hobby Search, but its listed as early Sept release
and here is a link to a thread on SPCUK of the kit that someone has already
http://forum.spc.org...php?f=3&t=19889

HLJ also has the Aoshima Subaru BZR kits listed now
