Stef Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Wow wow wow this is wicked awesome. So much cool stuff, plus one of my grails: the 1/16 GRAND AM FUNNY CAR! Finally! Thank you, model Gods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Trailers (Heller ) look NICE ! Cragar tyre/wheel kit (Aoshima ) is promising . Lots and lots of AWESOME kits coming along ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M. Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) The Heller goods trailer will be perfect behind my 1993 Chevy Extended Cab promo. However, I'm drooling over the AMT 1960 Ford 3 in 1 pickup with the trailer. It generated lots of conversation and excitement at another thread that covered it. Edited March 14, 2023 by John M.

Fat Brian Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I wonder if the Aoshima Cragars are the old MRC set? If so it'll be good you have those back. I'm interested in the Hasegawa Beetle too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Lots of cool stuff coming! I'm in for some of those tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Some interesting offerings, that's for sure. The ICM Model A will be a treat, I'll bet. Aoshima/Hasegawa/Fujimi needs better distribution in America. Their prices have gone crazy. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in Berwyn Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 That’s a lotta models! Glad Atlantis is releasing more nice ex-Revell stuff. Altho to me the Miss Deal will always be Miss Deal! (Altho it would be nice if they fixed the headers!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have these remaining in the tire stash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The Bomarc has my attention, especially if Canadian markings are an option. This one is interesting, considering Atlantis said it wasn't viable. Nice to see someone thinks they can make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the American Muscle Car Hop Up Sets shown above were a third party wheel not connected with Aoshima or Fujimi. But the wheel set being reissued in this list is the set from the kit I posted, not the MRC wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that all three are actually highly competitive in shelf price with the current Round 2, Revell, and Moebius pricing. In some cases actually quite a bit lower like with the recent reissue of the Chevy Astro Van by Fujimi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Some kits I noted. Revell is bringing out another version of their new Landrover tooling, this time with the proper hood with the spare tire on it. Miniart is getting a whole lot of versions out of their new "Lanz Bulldog" tractor tool. Just by changing Wheels/Tires they have gotten several kits. MPC, to judge by the Box Art will be releasing the '81 Camaro in the "Turbo Z" edition!! AMT is supposed to issue the old '67 Mercury Cyclone GT kit. That should upset some collectors. A whole lot more there, too. Should be a great year for kits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The Sealab could be a fun kit for something different. Historic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Yeah, for a "dying hobby" that's a lot of product. 1/12 Stratos, Aston DB5, VW Corrado and GT350R (new Revell decals? Yes, please!) are definitely in my future. It would be nice if Round2 released the 280ZX with a new windshield (no rear view mirror molded in) but I'm not holding my breath for that one. And the "hot rod" N1 Starfighter from The Mandalorian. And the Tamiya Gordon Murray T50, which isn't in Rocketfin's post. Gonna be an expensive year!

Has that been verified? Could be the AMT/Ertl kit with retro box art. Or, perhaps a cloned new body, possibly using the remains of the annual kit that didn't get turned into a "Funny car".

Chuck Kourouklis Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Saw that and thought eh, sure, AMT/Ertl '90s tooling reboxed... then I came back around to take in all on the boxcover that's not in the '90s kit. Which prompts me to wonder a little if I didn't brush the '66 Skylark modified off a little too quickly, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Kourouklis Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) EXACTLY. We've been clamoring for the cloning program on the Buick, Steve Goldman promises to unveil items he thinks are "even better" than the '60 F100 in a couple weeks, and maybe that's not even the right box cover, or just a place holder. Gets me wondering what might be hiding in plain sight. 🙂 Yeah, scratch all that. Went back to the other list, sez modified race car very specifically. What a lead-pipe cinch a renewed '66 Skylark kit would be, though... Edited March 15, 2023 by Chuck Kourouklis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
