vamach1 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Sadly after waiting 49 years it will probably not happen unless the kits have already been molded. Just a hunch but I would not hold my breath on seeing them this year. Maybe next year for $35 retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit was just going to be a corrected nose and 302 engine for their existing 69 Mustang kit. The tooling work appears to be done because they've got a built example in the first quarter announcement. It will certainly be delayed but I don't see a reason it wouldn't ever come out.

Mercuryman54 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) There would also have to be some retooling of the body! Because the Boss 302's did not have the side quarter panel scoops!

Also the 302 is getting an entirely new body, otherwise you'd be obliterating the ability to reissue it in it's current form (which considering the nose...).

sfhess Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Let's hope Revell gets back up and running under the new regime. There was some really cool stuff being developed when the axe fell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I wonder if this has been in the works for a while, or if Revell U.S.A. just decided to use a 26 year old drawing for the box top? Either way, should finally be here near the end of 2018 or so: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWT Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I wondered if I had seen that correctly when I saw this box top earlier... 2/92... guess so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickcaps55 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Ok guys go to Modelroundup and it's in the pre-order list I ordered my 2 today. it's listed for Dec delivery same go's for the new 68 chevelle I ordered 2 of them also same thing Dec.

Chuck Kourouklis Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I personally would be just fine with a little filler panel for the fender scoops - weren't the scoops themselves separate? - but it appears Revell might have gone ahead and filled those in. A simple flip to the '70 body shell won't quite work because it's 1/24 and visibly larger than the '69. Maybe not 100%, but what's on the flyer looks VASTLY improved in the front end. Looking forward to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to it... I wonder if this is similar to the Rat Roaster, where it's technically all-new, but shares design and pattern work with previous sibling kits? I think that would be for the best, but I recall someone mentioned Ed Sexton stating the front end was corrected, so that could still go either way-- all new body with a correct nose, or the Mach1 body with just the nose area corrected. I guess we will see in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Sure! If they've gone to the same extent as the Rat Roaster (or even the '13 Boss), I'd certainly welcome it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 As has been mentioned on other threads on this subject, the front end is new, and based on the built-up test shot I saw nearly a year ago, looks much, much better. I did not have time to study it closely, so this was my first impression only. Like many of you, I'm anxious to get my hands on one and check it out more closely...TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Suburban Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I have 2 on preorder myself. Can’t wait to see what the updates are on this one. Here is the one I built many years ago from the 69 Mach 1 and 70 Boss 302. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Suburban Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 And with the leftover parts I decided to build a 70 Mach 1. These were before Revell offered the 70 Mach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Great job Raoul. I got started on the Boss but never got beyond the body mods and paint stage. Can you identify the grabber blue one? Edited September 20, 2018 by vamach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, after I posted I noticed the sealed-up NACA ducts and remembered reading about one of these cars in one of the vintage musclecar rags not too long ago.

Casey Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Did anyone pre-order this kit at one of the online retailers? Just curious if there's an estimated arrival date yet or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
