A kit I never dreamed Revell would retool. I am 12 again!  Hooray! I'l take a case. 

I would love to see a retooling-release as a Z28. I bought one new in 1974 and kept it until 1982. Not a super car by any means, but a whole lot of fun. I finally sold it to a friend who wanted it for his son. He had bugged me for a couple of years, and one day I threw out a price. The next day he brought me an envelope full of cash.

 

 

Which planet are you from? This is almost too much for my pea brain to wrap around. Kool.

I really dig stock-class cars. Kind of Everyman's racer. Nice build.

Well, I would have like to seen alternate 3-speed and automatic transmissions. While we're at it, lower hp intakes, carbs, valve covers and exhaust. What about RPO 687 brake drums and scoops? And all of the decals to go with them?
Doubt if any kit ever lives up to everybody's wants and desires. But how many times do we build straight out of the box?
When it comes to Corvettes I am VERY prejudiced. I have always loved all things Corvette. My second model ever was an SMP 1959 that I bought at a neighborhood grocery store in 1960. I built dozens of Corvettes as a kid, and as an adult have owned several.
I have waited anxiously for this model to come out. For me, the positive things about it vastly outweigh the negatives. Bought one last week at a premium price and ordered a case at a really decent price from GMS Customs that will not ship for another week or so.
I want tops as much as anyone as I plan to build several classes of Drag and road race replicas. I believe the tops from the '58 and '59 will fit with a bit of massaging.
