(I had an original in 1968. Still have the finished model, but don't have the box or all the extra goodies.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading Tim Boyd's book on drag racing kits and he said the Logghe Chassis in the Jo-Hans are an accurate representation of the funny car chassis from the 60s. The bodies are just stock bodies.

Snake45 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Local toy show. Picked up a cleanly built Fireball 500 Barris Cuda which should respond nicely to Snake-Fu. Always kinda wanted one of these but not enough to actually build one. Now I'll have one on the shelf for minimal effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeBee Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Received a few packages for Revell in Germany, a replacement body and decals for the Golf GTI, Windshield frame for the E Type that was broken in the box, plus a few body parts moulded in light grey, no signs of sink marks anywhere.

So in order to get a good body one has to complain and have them send you a spare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always kinda wanted one of these but not enough to actually build one. Now I'll have one on the shelf for minimal effort. Here it is. Overall not bad looking, but a lotta little things to fix. Glue boogers on the windscreens is just the most obvious (luckily, I have spares), and the too-high front end. I've already disassembled it (held together with HUGE gobs of some kind of rubbery goo--Gorilla Glue?) and started. Should be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, these were pre-production parts they sent me, Revell have halted production of this kit to sort out the problems with the body, Revell Germany are not sending out anymore kits, this has also delayed the release of the Revell U.S version.

I saw one at HL back in June, but no more have appeared at any HL and I have never seen one at the LHS. Congratulations on the score!

Doug 1061 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Got a call from my local Hobbytown that my Kenworth mixer finally got here. Should have asked if they had a 2nd one they could put aside for me. Will be surprised if they have an extra sitting there by tomorrow.

Thanks good to know. So the only way to be sure I get a good body is to buy the US version or wait for a long time to buy the German version and hope it is not old stock otherwise I would have to ask support for a replacement.
