Casey Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Atlantis shared this test shot of the 1/32 scale ex-Revell '56 Cadillac (Eldorado?) on facebook recently, and mentioned they are creating a clear windshield "glass", too: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I remember building this when they first came out. I think Revell also had a Ford F-100 pick up, a '56 Ford Convertible, and a Chrysler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Been looking forward to the Jungle Jim Camaro but know nothing about it. Reissue of what past kit? If it is, how good was it? Can't tell with a picture of the real car. Thanks for any info since I wasn't able to find much on the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Not sure, I guess, but Atlantis Decals tend to be Tiny. No Options in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real car and illustration of decals not actual size as stated. Lol. Literally first post after Casey posted news is a complaint. Gotta love this crowd. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻🎻 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 There's no shortage of misc. sponsor decal sheets available out there - I don't blame Atlantis for not including 100 other logos that they'd have to license (and then EVERY kit would cost more, and everyone would be complaining that there's a bunch of licensed decals included that they wish they didn't have to pay for...like we already see with the Coke decals in the AMT kits) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally issued in 1971 as the Heavy Hugger And then as the Jungle Jim car in 1973 This was Revell trying to get into the Drag Kit scene, but sadly they are terribly inaccurate kits. The kits that followed where some of the best in business 9 minutes ago, stavanzer said: Well, Chris, Mark, Jim and Jesse. I guess I should have kept my mouth shut.... No, I am just pointing out other options for decals. I know we have been spoiled by Round 2 decals, but honestly, I would not really want to waste more decals on this thing than what it comes with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Atlantis, for the most part, is trying to get these kits reissued in as close to original form as possible. So, if the decal sheet in the original kit had only what was needed for one particular version, then that's what Atlantis will be putting in their reissue. The exception seems to be the Tom Daniel items, some of those have both new designs and a close approximation of what was in the original kit. With the Camaro, I'd suspect they will issue it as the Heavy Hugger at some time in the future. Maybe that version will get something different from what was in the Revell version of that issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hay Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Man, I'd love to see a 54-56 Cadillac in 1/25 scale. I've never built anything in 1/32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 It's unlikely anyone will ever issue a 1/25 scale version of that Cad. Those 1/32 scale kits are quite nice, they have engine detail and plated parts. The bodies are molded in sections but the pieces do fit together very well. Besides that, and the scale, the only things lacking compared to newer kits are no vinyl tires or clear parts. And Atlantis is rectifying the latter by adding clear parts.

I think we’ve said it will be out in June? The one I’m waiting for is the 1/32 scale ‘56 Buick. I believe they plan on bring that back?

TonyK Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Thank you Jesse. That's a bad looking kit but maybe Atlantis will add a little improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, would like to see one of these. Banthrico made 1/25th promo metal banks of the '52, '54 and '55 Fleetwood sedans and '56 Eldorado Seville (hardtop). AMT made '55 and '56 Coupe deVille promos. The '55 Coupes tend to warp badly, but the '56 not nearly as much. As Mark stated, it would be unlikely, but look how well the '59 Eldorado kits did.

Check out my build of jungle Jim’s red camaro in the drag racing section of this form. I made it from body from the original kit mixed with a mpc chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what they're criteria was for selling off what they did? Did the new owners even look at what they were getting rid of? Or was it a case of "whatever is in the USA, just dump it."?
