It's kinda surprising that the tooling ended up in China, especially since Jo-Han used a somewhat unique mold base, so unless the Chinese made something of their own to make it all work, that too made the voyage to the orient.

Dunno, but they call it re-sell red. Or....maybe with red there's less chance of swirl-marks in the plastic, I know silver is bad.

Revell had some great Goodyear tires in the past, so sometimes I buy a 5 dollar pre '05ish kit, just for the tires

Nippin' it in da bud ;^)

Maybe they found the long lost tooling from Jo-han's '69, last seen in a Testors wrapper, then went MIA/

If that tooling still exists, somebody better give me a ahead warning so I can sell of my originals ;^)

Thanks for the photo's Bill. Just love those mid 60s cars with stacked headlamps.

A built test shot was shown at the Toledo NNL last October.

I'm in for the Nickey Camaro, have to see the product details from some of the other announcements before making a decision to buy or not.

wonder if they found the hardtop insert of the '70 Bonnie.

a '17 Ford GT snapper. They're build in the UK, right?

Too bad no one did the preceding model, the Chrysler '87-'95 LeBaron convert and coup. at the time it put Chrysler back on the map as a automotive manufacturer in Europe, heck if GM wasn't my employer back then, I would've bought one. But it's an old car now.....

Those are the best ones, the ones that you'd never expect and can't can't keep your eyes off. A

Hey Tim, It seems we missed each other at Toledo yesterday A few corrections, Dean was employed by Revell-Monogram from '93 until '05. Also the Cutlass you see here, will never go into production, because it never was up to model kit standards to begin with, IIRC it was supposed to be an entry level diecast kit. Dean has done some major surgery to make that one stock. So the "rumored' all new kit will be from ALL NEW tooling

Art, it's an '87, Dean is standing right next to me ;^)

Dunno, but the 31st of October there's a model car show in Bergen-Enkheim in Germany.

Hmm, how can one assume the correct position (height wise) on the door then? That way it's either too high or too low, maybe for the targeted audience, they better rush and do a pre-paint next BTW taking about pre-paint, just today I bought the '14 Mustang GT pre-paint in a Revell Germany wrapper, as a slump buster and the striping does look good, so it's possible. too bad though; the production facility doesn't clean up the parting lines, with a rotary sanding tool. Ps did the Amt/ertl pre-painted bodies also suffer from parting lines, as I never had one I don't know. Thanks

Think, first do the roof part, then the sides

A yenko '67 Camaro would be nice, then Revell has 3 Yenko Chevy's. On the new announcements, think Revell will do another muscle car, hopefully a 2nd gen GTO, Round-2 hopefully finds the '68 Galaxie tool and Moebius, maybe a 50s Buick? BTW have the 4th quarter new releases been announced yet?

Hi all, Is there a list of vendors who will attend the Toledo NNL, October 10? Thanks Luc

12 more days....

Hope Revell Germany adds this one to it's 2016 lineup.

The design of the chassis and where it connects to the rear bumper, makes a '72 doubtful IMHO and will jack up the prices of the Jo-han kit some more....

I think Revell's model A is a pretty good example of a kit, designed by enthusiasts for the enthusiasts.
