Good news!
I hope it's a bit quicker to the market than some of the kits they announced for 2023 - the Renault 4F van for example is still listed as "Coming soon".....
It seems most kits announced for 2023 were delayed until this year. At least the car related kits I am interested in. I asked Heller about the trailers for example and they said april.

If it is a full detail 1:24 kit my prayers have been answered.
-
Great news. I already have one but might pick up another one just to encourage them to reissue more from the classic cars range.

Hope so. Looks like only the C8 coupe is in their release plan for 2024 at this time. They did show a convertible test shot as well (can't remember what event)
Perhaps the releases in the link I posted are the ones that will appear in a Revell Germany box and the convertible only in the US box. Guess we have to wait and see. Other US releases like the Jeep are not mentioned for example.

Some more news from Revell Germany: https://ipmsdeutschland.de/wordpress/2024/01/01/revell-neuheiten-2024-model-kits-2/
The only new tool I wasn't aware of is the Lamborghini Revuelto.
I am happy the '69 Camaro 1/12 is reissued again I missed it the last time.
Any idea what kit the ’70 Shelby Mustang GT500 is a reissue of? I can only see the '69 on Scalemates. Or are they the same?
-
I agree with all of you. The list is endless.

I would also love to see Tamiya Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA brought back. It is a nice older full-detail kit that has become rare and goes for crazy prices on eBay. That one could also be weathered as a rally car.
Yes the Alfa is a nice kit. Luckily I bought one when it was last reissued.

Tamiya has a big back catalog. If I have any complaint it's that they underutilize it and don't rerelease their greatest hits enough.
I definitely agree with this. Good to see the Fiat coming back now hopefully more will follow.
I also wonder if there is any chance they will reissue the Aston Martin DBS, I am still kicking myself for not buying it when it first came out.
-
Looks like they can reuse the same video next year or I am looking in the wrong places, but I cannot find many of the new car related kits for sale anywhere and 2023 is almost over.

Finally got one of these the other day, didn’t want to miss out on this one like I did on the 65 vette….
I also missed out on the Corvette. Got the Trans Am the other week. Forgot how huge a 1/8 kit is.
-
Great news I will get the Fiat for sure.
-
The Corvettes and the Jeep will be added to my stash for sure. Probably more.

Gotta say I'm rather nonplussed about that roof being cut open like that. Plus great googlie-moogilie that plastic is swirltastic. Maybe they'll see fit to at some point release a non-bond DB5, otherwise I think I might have to pass on this one.
Same here

When was this last available? It has only been the cab recently right?

It will be added to my stash.

The inside word on the Boss 351 kit development and the underhood ducting approach...wish I had know the extent of this (the kit development process and team) earlier, but better late than never....
************************************************************
The development of the Revell Boss 351, per Ed Sexton:
"We need to recognize the make up of the "Revell Team". It was It really is just Chris Borris with some help from Don Sikora and myself."
"Chris is the only full time Revell USA person. Don (he is the Editor of Collectible Automobile) and I worked as consultants on the project. Chris also does work with Revell Germany on the development of the products. The sales end is handled by the Carrera-Revell office in New Jersey."
Directly from Chris Borris on the underhood ducting:
"Yes, of course we always want to reproduce with the most detail but as you pointed out we couldn't with the under hood ram air ducting due to space as you noted out. In the cad I have around 1mil of clearance between bottom of hood and front of 351 air-cleaner. We just simply could not afford tinkering with the multiple engines, air cleaners to add this rather large part. If there was more clearance we would have but it just wouldn't work here, so the cavity sides of all hoods received engraving detail instead."
********************************************************
Rex....keep up advised (I know you will) on your experiment with the DieCast model part..
Best to you all...TIM
I always wondered why it took so long to make this kit but I understand now sounds like it was almost a one man show. Very impressive and it looks like a great kit.
-
The Datsun is the only kit that interests me.
-
This is great, nothing I want. I have too many kits already.
-
I am using the smooth surface version and it never gets properly hard. After almost a week I can make dents with a pointy object. Don't know what I am doing wrong.
-
Is the Jeep kit any good?
-
I look forward to the Torino, Mustang and Demon. The rest is not my cup of tea.
-
Which 67 Chevelle is best? AMT's or Revell's?
-
Nothing for me thankfully.

Funny how the scale changes between both '71 Mustang releases.
It also says 1:25 on the C8 box but 1:24 everywhere else. What is going on here?
Tamiya 1/24 Nissan 240Z (street custom?)

Great news, I have been waiting a long time for this.
