horsepower Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 While breezing through todays online sale flyer from Squadron I spotted the Revell model A Roadster kit on special for $21.99 and listed as "in stock soon" kit RM4322. Does Squadron know something we don't, or being more a military type sales outlet have they just not got the word about the mold tooling disaster yet?

Mike Chernecki Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Old news. Look up the thread on the model A. Tooling has been fixed and both coupe and roadster back soon with new part numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xingu Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Old news. Look up the thread on the model A. Tooling has been fixed and both coupe and roadster back soon with new part numbers.This is actually new news. What is being pointed out is Squadron is now listing them for sale again. So maybe the new kits hit the shelves sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Maybe the roadster was chosen to be brought back first. That would be strange, since around here the roadster kit was always available even when the rumors were flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe the new kits hit the shelves sooner rather than later.Squadron's been known to advertise stuff "in stock soon" when they were months from having it. At least they would do this back in the old days, when I was buying from them almost monthly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit number of 85-4322 is the giveaway that is the 2015 kit number for the '29 Model A roadster kit, not the re-released version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I couldn't check my kit number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Maybe the roadster was chosen to be brought back first. That would be strange, since around here the roadster kit was always available even when the rumors were flying. There were just more "NoS" ones of those floating around. When the tooling was damaged it prevented Revell from making either kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
