This would be specific to the U.S. rebox of the kit. The initial Germany boxing of the kits already shipped a month or so ago. Couple of vendors in Japan Judy got them in this week.
Revell in Germany have stopped production of this kit, and are not sending out any of the kits they have in their warehouse.

Same tooling using light grey styrene

Thinking back on all the sink marks I've had to fill over the years, I'm actually pretty impressed that they think this needs correcting.
It's not a problem with the tooling, for some reason there's a problem with the red styrene they used, I've also heard (unofficially) that Revell are re-tooling the bodyshell to fix the windscreen fault.

Very interesting, I'll be following....
-
Very nice build, every time I see one of these built, I go looking for one, still haven't found one this side of the pond.

That’s good news for that damaged body. That one was done by Lindberg probably..
Amt re-released it, not sure what year, but I don't think it was too long ago
-
Rear axle and front suspension dry fitted into place, the front springs were glued onto to the suspension frame, as they had a tenancy to fall out when dry fitted.
-
Not a great done today, just building up the back axle and removing a few mould and join lines.
-
Good news on the replacement bodyshell for the Lindberg 61 Impala, Round 2 are sending me one, $25 including shipping to the UK.
-
Very nice restoration & great photos
-
Managed to get a little bit of work done on this one, interior is just dry fitted, engine glued together, I'll clean up the join lines on the engine/gearbox tomorrow

I think Revell may have missed an opportunity to make an E type that is comparable to the -Tamiya Jag S types - which are killer - too bad ...
In Revell's defence, this kit retails for over half the price a Tamiya version would cost

So in order to get a good body one has to complain and have them send you a spare?
No, these were pre-production parts they sent me, Revell have halted production of this kit to sort out the problems with the body, Revell Germany are not sending out anymore kits, this has also delayed the release of the Revell U.S version.
-
Received these this morning from Revell in Germany, these are parts left over from their pre-production mouldings before they started using the red styrene, not a sign of sink marks anywhere on these parts.
-
Received a few packages for Revell in Germany, a replacement body and decals for the Golf GTI, Windshield frame for the E Type that was broken in the box, plus a few body parts moulded in light grey, no signs of sink marks anywhere.

Very nice clean build....

I cant wait until this is available in the UK.
Me too, I haven't built a truck model since the mid 1990's, this one looks superb.

Popped a bid in on Ebay and forgot about it, so I've now got another Range Rover.

Still unable to get any airbrushing done, and I've caught up with my writing, so I thought I'd make a start on this one, i bought one kit,which sadly arrived with a broken and distorted bodyshell, I'm trying to see if Round 2 can help me out with a replacement,as they've not long re-released this kit under the AMT banner, I've tried the bonnet on the body from the other kit I've got, the photos show the difference, I've decided that I'll be painting this one in Honduras red metallic.

Burbank’s House of Hobbies. Just got an order from them today.
X2, haven't ordered from them for a while, but before the Covid, I'd get packages from them in around 5 days, great service.

I don't know, but, I do know that the wheels in the Fujimi 356 Porsche kit are really nice. But, those are not cheap kits for just the wheels
Not my model, image from interwebs to show wheels
That's mine, built a few years ago, I've still got the 356C wheels if there any good to anyone

Heller 1/24 car and truck kits are far from junk. They aren’t easy builds, but they are accurate in shape and well-detailed. There are some quirks... the place where one part is glued to another is often marked with an engraved pattern, and the door interiors are often one piece clear plastic with the windows. The biggest “issues” are: first, detail and structural parts are very faithful in scale, so can be fragile and hard to handle; and secondly, because of the moulding technology of the time, you may need to build up frames out of several separate tubes for example instead of a single complex slide moulded part as Tamiya would do now.
Any Heller kit will be a challenge to build, but it’s just construction skills needed, not battling an ill-fitting, badly designed and incompetently-moulded kit into submission...
best,
M.
X2, I haven't built a Heller kit for many years, although I've got quite a few in the stash, never had a problem building them.

I've had the Goodwood Revival on my bucket list for years, but every time it's on I've been busy with other work.
