Image shown at the link (and below) you provided is of a real T/A with the snowflake style wheels, so hopefully it is the '79 T/A, not the '80 Turbo T/A.

larman Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Yes! I hope the T/A is the '79 and not the '80, also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Didn't they make the '80 Turbo first, then backdate it? Or have they alternated reissues between the two versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Metallic Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Translation surrounding the "chrome spray" "But what we saw live in Bünde yesterday was really convincing! Great chrome, really grip after a few hours! But as always with paints and tools, your own application test will show how good the product is!"

keyser Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Didn’t a snap 69 Camaro have that hood? It was on my need to get list that never made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I've long wondered whatever happened to that one-eighth scale Trans Am -- I haven't seen it around since 1988 ! I hope that it sells well enough to "justify" releasing the 1985 IROC-Z and 1985 Corvette ! I'd like to see the 1/12 scale '69 Zed again , as well as the '67 'Vette and '57 Chevy . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The 69 Camaro SS will have the correct ice cube tray hood never offered before in the the 69. I think the non RS grille did not previously have SS logo, but I have to dig out a 69 kit to check. Not sure what has changed on the rims?

MrObsessive Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I too would LOVE to see the '79 Trans AM back! Those go for INSANE prices on the 'Bay! Even busted up ones can go for crazy money. I do hope this time around Revell uses better plastic than the originals. For whatever reason, a lot of those "fracture" like glass particularly the body panels when they get damaged. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1/8 Trans am is coming back! I have been waiting sooo long for this. I hope it actually happens. I don`t care if it`s the `79 or `80, I plan to buy at least several. And I already have both kits stashed away somewhere. Would be really cool if we get a couple color selections for the bird. Any thoughts on what prices on this might be?

I can only imagine that the T.A. will be around a buck-fifty , especially considering the monumental price hikes of recent . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhh! So that's the culprit! I have a very restorable '80 kit......but it has a fractured fender and thankfully the piece is there to fix it. 3 hours ago, Casey said: I also hope they do what Round2 did with the '79 T/A, and include three color/decal options. Has to be at least $100+, but I would guess around $120 or so retail? Other color option decals would be GREAT! The metallic brown isn't bad, but there are those of us that would like more variety in case we want to paint the body another color and not just polish the plastic. As far as pricing $120 or slightly north of that would still be a terrific bargain compared to what I see these go for on eBay. There's one on there right now, still sealed, and they want $700 for it! 😵 The average I've seen for complete, untouched kits go for anywhere between $300-$400.

Can-Con Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 ,, except that hood was in a Revell kit before, albeit a snap kit. It did fit the glue kits though. Since the new release is supposed to be an SS, I bet the "new wheels" to be included in the kit will be another set of Magnum 500s. ,,or in GM nomenclature, the "SS wheel". I wonder what engine it wil have ,, probably another big block. It'd be nice to see a non-Z-28 small block though. Wasn't '69 the first year for the "SS 350"?
