Bring back the drag bikes please

I have this one !

I'm really happy to see Revell issue another Car/ Bass Boat combo.

I've got the Bronco/Buggy set, and I'll be getting one of these too.

Revell, how about Taking the "Pulled Pork" Blazer, and putting it back to stock, and giving us a GM tow vehicle combo. The Revell Dirt Bikes, or the Honda ATV would make a nice load!

Anyway, thanks for these Combo kits! I'll buy every one you make.

I used an old Chain Gang to build this several years ago

That's a beautiful build!  I love the grenade on the suicide shifter!

Corrado !!!!! Woot. 

[gasman]

Corrado, finally

 

[niteowl7710]

I'm guessing the new parts for the Corrado would be a body. Since it met the same infamous fate as the 8 Series BMW and was permanently convertiblized back then. That's gonna crush some people's hoar...err stash values.

Can't wait for that Corrado. 1/8 E-Type with modern Revell decal sheet will be a winner as well. Looks like the next variant on the Series 3 Landy will be a three-door commercial version. That could be an awesome resto-mod.

Odd thing is that Landy done by Italeri as 109. Guess 110 version ok, but don’t quite understand overlap. 
Corrado a G60? I don’t recall if they kitted VR6. Decent resin one around though.

There is a German store on Ebay that has sold brand new kits for years of the last reissue (2014): https://www.ebay.de/itm/REVELL-07390-1-8-JAGUAR-E-TYPE-XK-E-NEU-OVP/314100223698?redirect=mobile

I have not seen any other store sell them. Do they have some exclusive deal with Revell or what? Or just a huge stock that has lasted for ages?

IIRC it was a 3rd party release.

I hope they fixd the roof on the corrado, it has too much curve to it and should be flatter. The land rover model numbers refer to the wheelbase length. The first land rovers had a 88inch wheelbase but from the series 2 it went u to 90 on the short ones and the long ones started being made. I believe they started at 108 inch and slowly crept up to 112 by the early 90s but you could get them in other lengths by special order. also if your ever buying a used land rover try and find an ex coastguard one, low miles, better suspension and wheels and perfect servicing

Friend has ex coast guard diesel. Minty. 
I know the wb stuff, I’m a fan. Just with so many body styles, duplicating one (that’s on market now) seemed odd. 
I’ve got a couple unbuilt Monogram 88’s, hope they can do a 90 off new tool since 88 has disappeared for decades.

Well that one on the market by Italeri is the old ESCI kit that's nearly 40 years old at this point. I'm guessing they'll make a case it's time for a new one. If 40 yr old kits were good enough that pretty much means we don't ever need newer versions of any model ever that's already been made. 

[keyser]

Bit of a leap from what I actually wrote to 40yo kits etc. Not implied or sanctioned  

I meant lots of body styles never modeled  

 

[Luc Janssens]

While I applaud Revell for tooling up a modern version, I do think that the Esci version stand it's ground especially that while it's curbside their chassis and suspension parts look more in scale then the oversize, dare I say, robust to play with parts of the new Revell version.

Also a British modelling group has brought to attention that there were some errors in the RHD version.

The plan in my head is to combine the Revel kit with the Esci, but so far I haven't bought the Revell kit.

Here's a bodystyle not noted in the Land Rover ad.  Indeed the kits have creative potential...

Anybody know if the Bronco is the glue or snap kit?

With the fishing boat? It's the 1/24 Monogram glue kit. The only SnapTite Bronco that I remember was 1/32 scale.

I guess I was thinking "simplified version" that seemed like a Snap kit to me.

Which was also in the Yamahauler of many years ago.

I read that as "Yam hauler".

Bronco with the race boat would be so cool!

OK. That is clearly Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon in the driver’s seat! ?
