Dave Van Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 7030 BMW Isetta, 1:16 WOW.....that might be cool.......plastic kit?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Dave from what I can gather from my basic German, it's going to be a plastic kit. I want to see THIS make it over here! Now this is a LONG LOST kit! I sure wish, hope it's molded in white, but I suspect it'll be in the color you see here. The eBay examples can get way outta sight price wise, and it'll be nice to get one at a "reasonable" price again.

maltsr Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Bring on the McLaren, but as it appears to be a December release, it will be 2017 before I get my hands on it down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Nice to see the Mercedes AMG GT and McLaren. Odd to see the two Porsche 934 versions--those were done previously by Tamiya in those same liveries. Too bad the Isetta is not 1/24th. I wonder if the 1/32nd Opel GT and Beetle are the old Revell snap kits? Edited January 1, 2016 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was out maybe 10 years ago as Revell of Germany release also...not sure when it was last available a a US Revell/Monogram release...80s?

Dave Van Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I wonder if the 1/32nd Opel GT and Beetle are the old Revell snap kits?Last time we saw those kits they were EURO releases from the old USA molds....so I bet they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr mopar Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Cool to see 1/32 Kenworth snap coming out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 AMG GT and 570S are most excellent. I hope that Isetta sells sufficiently to justify downscaling it to 1/24, as the Gunze Sanyo one is a small ransom if you can find one. A nice new full detail Isetta in the "right" scale would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasman Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm a little stumped by the Porsche 934 RSR. Considering Tamiya just released one as well. I know it will be a lot cheaper then the Tamiya but I would've liked too see them do a 2016 911, or a new tool 1963 911stocked over the 570s. Great to see a non-race car modern Mclaren done, and I'm happy it's not the P1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Cool to see 1/32 Kenworth snap coming out !It's a pity for the truck guys that's all that's coming out. Would be cool to see a new modern American truck (sorry if this is the wrong place to mention it). I'm very pleased with the AMG and McLaren though.

DeTomaso Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 If the photos used are correct the Porsche 934 looks to be way ahead of the Tamiya.Better headlights,wheels, correct tyres and all the sponsor logos.On the Jager picture it appears to have a seperate front hood and brake ducting,so possibly a full detail kit.Hopefully the arch extensions and air dam are seperate as well,making other versions a lot easier.Surprised that they started with this one but very good news for 930 series fans.

BVC500 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Very happy about the AMG GT! The McLaren is pretty cool too. Now, if Tamiya releases the Ferrari FXX K, I'd be completely satisfied for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different market in Europe too, especially if it's full detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Creative Explorer Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I am already looking forward to ANOTHER new tooled big scaled modelkit from Revell! Me enthused What I find odd, of all the 1/8 molds, they get the Corvette stingray out, again. I'd rather see any of the Camaro's Thunderbirds etc... Or even the Jaguar. OR what about the 85 Corvette... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 nice to see your comments. in my german forum, the "godbuilders" *lol* are sick of the news, revell will bring next year. tooo many wishes...i feel ok with the kits they bring.the Isetta is plastic, think, i will get one. like Luc wrote, the Porsches are new tools.im exciting about the 1/32 beetle - perfect slotcar.

Junkman Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Making that Isetta in 1/16 will cost them many sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Making that Isetta in 1/16 will cost them many sales.I agree it seems an odd choice. It would fit in quite well with the recent Citroens, Renaults, Minis, and Trabants but 1/16 puts it into another interest group. Hopefully they scale it down for a future release.
