BigBad Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 So does somebody know? It must be at least 50 year old or approaching it quickly. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody would (would have?) highlight(ed) this event with a fully dressed and new W900 model kit? What do you guys think? Such an iconic vehicle should be celebrated in some way and this would be a very nice way to do it. Start the discussion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 1961!? Wow, it's even older than I thought! So its 50th birthday came and went without a peep. So sad. Well, Revell didn't bring out the 2010 Mustang GT kit until well into 2011, as just one example I can think of. Seems like only Tamiya and Revell AG get current models out in the current model year. Of course, this is assuming a 50th anniversarry W900 kit was even in the cards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
