Not w/o FORD license...........There is a number of tools sitting in Salvinos vault that they could run but they have yet to get a SORD license of any kind.

jchrisf Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Very cool.. I hope these don't cost more than their other kits but I have a feeling they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'm not really into NSACAR, just not my thing; but I might consider getting one of these cars or maybe the 2022 cars. Now, if we could just get some modern Indy cars, that would be great, but I don't see that hapening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love a modern Indy car or modern F1 kit. I think Indycar is picking up a lot of fans who have become disillusioned with Nascar. More IMSA prototypes on the order of Tamiya's Toyota T050 would be cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in Berwyn Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I commend these guys as a new, currently smaller firm being able to get all the licenses they have. Hopefully if they want a Ford license they can get it. They are building themselves a nice track record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 So, hypothetically speaking & I realize no one has actually seen the kits yet; but how difficult do you think it would be to adapt a Mustang or Charger body to these race chassis? To be completely accurate, you'd need to swap the engine as well; but it's an interesting thought experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang or Camry...there hasn't been a Charger in NASCAR in 10 years when next season starts...should be adaptable from the resin bodies that were created to fit the last Revell SS/Fusion kits. Salvinos is keeping with the tradition of the kits being in 1/24, not sure what the wheelbase differences are between the SS and Camaro chassis, that would be the biggest issue, since you can always trim to add material to get it to fit front/rear. If Jim & Rick are really going to make EVERY Petty car ever driven, they've said that is a goal, they'll need a Ford license some day to make the Torino. Amortized across a 2021 Mustang, Gen 6 Mustang, and the older Monogram Thunderbirds they have the tooling to...you'd think it would be affordable in the long run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Mustang & Camry are raced in NASCAR, but I was thinking, again hypothetically, if Dodge were to enter NASCAR again, they would probably race the Charger or Challenger. It would be nice if Salvinos could get the Ford licensing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Current 2021 chassis is the same across makes. SO add FORD engine and body and you have a correct 2021 Mustang..IF...IF you get the OK from Ford.....which often they grant very cheap or free. A number of racing Ford kits that Revell Monogram did were licensed for free or even part paid by from FORD.....wanting to get product in front of consumers.

Though with that new car we all know it will go through changes as Nascar tweaks the design. Edited October 30, 2021 by wrenchr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 SO.....is the promised 2021 Camaro NASCAR Cup car NOT going to be done???? When I spoke out that it seemed odd to kit a car that would be obsolete by the time it hit shelves....I took a real beating as being negative........😶 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrux Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 The Gen 6 car is pretty much off the table from SJR for the foreseeable future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was said they will only do the Gen 6 cars if they can get the tooling from Revell Where are those CAD drawings posted?, in the Salvino's Group page ?

Dave Van Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 The Revell Chevy SS tooling is in China and 49% owned by the Chinese Govmt.......a very difficult web to untangle. They would come out cheaper cloning the Revell kit.....I'll provide the kit if they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except we've been getting models like this in the past and they sold just fine. I have no problem with this because building these represents a piece of history but maybe business decisions and modelers have changed their thoughts?
