Hood, windshield, bumpers, lights, drivetrain (minus rear driveshaft), some exhaust, most of the front interior parts. Sure not all, but they can make variations of the different parts with 3d modeling so they aren’t completely starting from scratch either.

Luckily it appears Revell has many plans for their new 80s K5 tooling, based on the next version already being announced! Hopefully based on how they molded the parts, it would be easy for them to make a pickup kit that shares parts with the K5 kits!

A few items I saw on Facebook, looks like the lifted ‘81 GMC pickup is returning with some cool new decals (hopefully)!

Nice full decal sheet, and lol at the Eggo box!

It says 1/25 ‘85 Jimmy though, so more likely a version of the new tool Blazer.

I wasn’t sure since they considered it “new”!

There was the ‘87 Aerocoupe kit, did it have the correct changes? Also it’s too bad they aren’t just rereleasing that kit!

To be fair, the Mustang engine bay does have some style with the strut bar and dual intakes!

1) I wonder what the “High Roller” refers to for the GMC Jimmy? 2) interesting to see that they are making an ‘87 Monte Carlo SS. What were the differences to the ‘86?

Oh right, I forgot about that!

I’m sure some prefer the notchback style Fiero, but I would like to see the ‘88 “fastback” style return!

Can I say that I’m disappointed that once again the kit of the new Mustang is a snap kit?

I will say, using the sound of a Porsche 928 engine in the movies was a good choice!

You mean the rear wheels?

I thought those looked familiar!

Hopefully this kit is a sign of things to come for Revell with their future new tools!

Trust me, it makes finding spare parts or scrap pieces so much easier!

The Nissan diesel was an inline 6, unless they offered a 4 cylinder diesel at the end of the run.

I will say that, depending on how realistic you want your build, those wheels weren't available on the 4WD Blazers due to having a different offset. If you want to use them anyways, you could always cut the centers out of the wheels that fit the tires and slot the new wheels in the center.

He said they don’t have the Tahoe tooling so that would have to be redone. Would be great if they could update it to a full detail (or curbside) kit!

I’ve said it before, but I feel like of the modern subjects in the US, pickup kits would sell like crazy since they have such a large range of ways they can be built! Also I know Galaxy makes trailers, but I’m surprised the major companies aren’t releasing a line of non-commercial trailers since they are easy to model/mold and I think would also be really popular!

Oddly enough, I enjoy when I have to look through my scrap bin to find something to use because it really puts my mind to work!

Do you ever have issues deciding on the paint job or if you want to make it a different trim level/configuration?

I have one of those desktop drawer organizer units for all my spare parts. I too separate out my good styrene tube/rod and sheet scraps in their own drawers, and this drawer is strictly for misc cutoffs, bits of sprue, and small parts that I'm too lazy to sort out but probably won't use!

This is one thing that has come in handy on almost every build, I strongly recommend to keep a scrap bin for cutoffs and other misc small parts! Sometimes you want to scratch something that may be tough to do with styrene strips/rod, or sometimes you need a piece of certain size or thickness to fill in a gap or hole, this bin has been a great source of pieces for many random things that I have done on builds!
