Casey Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Here are a few future releases I found listed on Stevens Int'l's 'site:85-1269 - 1/25 Revell Anglia Drag Coupe (SSP). H-1269 was the original kit number for the "Skipper's Critter" version, so I'm guessing we'll see retro box art for this one.85-4409 -1/25 '66 Chevy Suburban Custom Truck (new tool)85-4411 - 1/25 '69 Yenko Corvette Coupe85-4426 - 1/25 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck - Foose Design (new tool)85-4429 - 1/24 1978 Mazda RX-7 2'n1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Wow, I really want to see that Suburban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 '69 Yenko Corvette? I've never heard of any such particular thing. Wonder if it's the former Baldwin-Motion '69 Corvette. If so, I'll get another one. Love that '67 hood scoop on the Shark body! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Same hereI have had plans for Ambulances seen on Adam-12 & Emergency since the shows were originally On!They Crashed one of those Suburbans TWICE on Emergency!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Was Custom a trim level on those Suburbans? I hope that they offer it with a 4WD setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I don't know about 64-66, but WAS a Lower (Lowest) trim level in 60AMT's Modern Tool 60 Shortbox Fleetside is a 'Custom' and Not Apachi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Nice selection. Interesting new tools also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I hope that they offer it with a 4WD setup!that would be nice, an extra incentive to buy a few, to convert some of the same era pickup kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I can see some cool parts I hope, now if they could have made the suburban a 41 that woulda been cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I wonder if the Yenko Vette is going to be based off the Road Racing kits? Big yes to the F-100, Suburban and the Mazda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 If the Anglia is an SSP deal, maybe they'll put the original Ansen mag wheels back in. If so, they'll probably issue the Thames panel again soon.I've got the recent Yenko book, and I don't recall seeing any '69 Corvettes in it. Maybe they're issuing the Camaro yet again?

tim boyd Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Revell made a trip to the GM Heritage Design Collection in Warren, MI, a couple of years ago to scale the Suburban, so unless someone knows the specific truck in that collection, my guess would be that the vehicle will wear factory stock equipment, perhaps followed later by a more street-machine orientation. But this is just 100% speculation on my part. I would imagine will see the Revell quarterly flier with an image very shortly now. which will probably provide more visual info.

mikemodeler Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Wow, I really want to see that Suburban.You ain't the only one buddy! I traded off a badly cast resin body in the hopes that someone would do it right, and it sounds like they are! Glad to hear Revell listening and bringing us some much needed new stuff!

Mike Chernecki Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Can't wait to see what the Suburban look like. First the Bronco, then the Suburban.. What other new classic truck kits can we expect in the near future.The only reference I can find to a Yenko Corvette is this http://www.superchevy.com/features/corp-1004-1969-chevrolet-corvette/. Nothing different visually from a normal 427 Vette, other than the Yenko badge between the tail lights. It would be nice if Revell did Baldwin Motion Phase III GT Corvette with the clear headlight covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I doubt we will see a 4wd version, but converting a 2wd to 4wd shouldn't be too much of a problem.Perhaps, but it would be more preferable to have it be a 4WD since you could use parts from the '64/'65 pickups to make it a 2WD, and vice versa.

Snake45 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I suspect either calling it a "Yenko" is a flat-out mistake, OR they figure they're already paying a Yenko license so they'll just call the old B-M a Yenko.Hey, they created a "1969 COPO Nova" out of whole cloth, so why not?

Body, chassis, interior and glass is all they needed- running gear and suspension pieces, bumpers and hood were already done. Be interesting to see if they do a panel delivery or a surf wagon next!

VRM Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 '69 Yenko Corvette? I've never heard of any such particular thing. Wonder if it's the former Baldwin-Motion '69 Corvette. If so, I'll get another one. Love that '67 hood scoop on the Shark body!Probably. Yenko sold a lot of Vettes, and they did not even have to order the engine as a COPO. Yenko did do some documented things to some cars like adding the Motion hood, sidepipes, and all that. You would usually even see the Yenko dealer emblem somewhere on the car. Unfortunately, they never did a special stripe package or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm curious about the Suburban. I just hope it can be built factory "stock." It's a shame it will not be a '67 - '72 three-door Suburban. Those are my favorites. But, I love Chevy Suburbans, and any Suburban is welcome in my collection.

niteowl7710 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 The Yenko Corvette if based off the yellow one Mike posted is the biggest no brainer cheap use of a licensing I've seen - and that's a good thing.They already have a regular (non B/M) '69 Corvette (the one that was famously a 429 in the first boxing) kit that they just need to add a couple of decals to, and *POOF* new kit.

RomanII Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) This is how Suburbans are supposed to look. EDIT: It is MY opinion that Suburbans should have four doors and long wheelbases. This is a modified image. I added the rear doors and adjusted the wheelbase. Edited October 14, 2016 by RomanII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
