It's only been kitted once to my knowledge and the prices for it are way out of my budget. ScaleMates shows this kit as 1/12. IIRC it is 1/8th. Revell, the Knucklehead again Please. Yes! I'm not much into the bigger scale kits but I'd buy one of those for sure if it was reissued. Other than that I'm staying with the 1/24 or 1/25 scale, the bigger scale kits take way too much space and I don't have any parts for kitbashing or detailing them. So I should buy bunch of stuff in order to build one detailed big scale kit, even though I usually scratchbuild some of the details myself...

Jim it had been out two times .....and the way you can tell is first run is in a flat box and it's molded in red orange color the second run is in a bigger box and molded in dark metallic red , but still the same bike !

dbostream Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Very interested in the E-Type all the ones available now are very old tools right? I am also interested in the big scale 300-SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 7 minutes ago, Luc Janssens said: Most likely this one.. Yes I was thinking about this kit which is actually based on the AMT kit under the body which more closely resembles a 427. A number of years ago I created a FIA 289 by grafting AMT 289 body bits onto the Academy body to get the wide fenders and side vents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Bet that 1/12 scale 300SL is the old Renwal hot mess. The box art on that Cobra makes it look more accurate than it is. The kit body hasn't got those flares. With the XK-E being 1/24 scale new tooling, I wonder if the Aurora and Revell 1/25 tools didn't get dumped off to Atlantis...

niteowl7710 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Wonder what the "variant" of the i8 is going to be. That car hasn't had a redesign, and Revell only has one version of it. BMW did add a Roadster (as they call it) soft top version in 2018. I might be in for a kit of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a full detail version but snap will at least give the body and glass and everything else is pretty much available. I'd use the hasegawa chassis though since its better than the revell one for detailing. The porsche set sounds cool too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) I have the original Sunny kit and I always thought this car more represented an FIA car and NOT an actual 427. Not a bad kit at all, just not a proper 427 as we have known and seen it. 1 hour ago, dbostream said: Hmm ok so that kit is that bad? I have wanted to buy the old Revell reissue for awhile but if it is no good then I will skip it. Better to stay away from that one unless you want to do some body corrections. That body to me always appeared a bit "thick" especially in the door frame area as those A pillars are waaaaay too heavy looking to my eyes. There's other aspects about it that don't seem right compared to the 1:1. It reminds me of Revell's reboxing of the 275 GTB Ferrari which is also way out of proportion. I just can't think of who the original manufacturer of that kit was at the moment. Edit: I just thought of the maker as soon as I hit the send key. Renwal? They never did a correction of that kit and every time I see that beautiful 1:1 car on the box art, I immediately know that what's inside will be woefully disappointing.
