charlie8575 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hey, is there any news about a 1984 cutlass supreme model kit coming out eventually? I'm trying to hunt one down along with a 1963 dynamic 88 convertible one. The Cutlass is allegedly going to be announced next year sometime. They've been teasing us with this for nearly a decade, so I'm not holding my breath.If this is done properly, I'm in for at least two.The 88 is another matter.The closest thing is the Jo-Han '63 Starfire, which is starting to get expensive and difficult to find. With that said, with the resurgence in the popularity of early '60s big GM cars, there is a (very) outside chance a new Starfire could see the light of day.Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 They will probably do the Cutlass since they will approach sales as a Hurst Olds, and not a Donk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWT Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I hope so, I'd love to have one... let's be honest atleast 3 or 4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88hurstolds Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Angelo had major contribution to the model coming through, his '83 H/O and '85 442 FE3X were used for measurements.I had a little hand in making the model come through, Ed came over by my place to take measurements of the engine for the H/O.I spoke with Ed earlier this week, they will be releasing this model late spring and are finalizing the packaging, an announcement will be coming shortly in the next couple weeks I was told.Development for one of these kits takes 3+ years... and if very costly with production tools.I have seen the prototype cars, they are VERY detailed and nice. Wish I could share the photos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm on my phone so I can't easily post them. The are on the Factory/Dealer Stock Model Cars group. The guy that was involved in the F3E-X mentioned earlier in this thread (Angelo Valenti) posted them. I'm sure they will turn up here eventually...

DaveM Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It looks like Revell came through with a big winner here. Great subject, and it looks like it needs to be on my shelf. I hope they sell a zillion of 'em and are convinced to do a Pontiac, and Buick based on the shared platform. How long before the lowrider guys latch on to this and start making flat hoods and base model grills and fascias for them? I know I will try to make a couple of non Hurst street and drag cars. I may also try to do a street stock racer, depending upon how the chassis and floor pan are molded. These could be donor cars for a lot of street stock models if they have separate frames and floors. I am also thinking that Round2 should reissue their Monte Carlo for kitbashing purposes! (And their El Camino)I am turning the thermostat down right now so I can afford these when they come out!

Brett Barrow Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Where did you see that Brett?I spoke to Ed on Tuesday and he said that there was going to be an announcement on Wednesday. Several Facebook groups/pages. I highly recommend Facebook for new product news and modelling stuff, even if you don't use it for anything else. It's killing forums (sorry, but it is...)

Can-Con Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I hate to be "that guy" but , , , What do you guys think about the sculpting around the wheel openings? But, yea, I'll be getting at least one. FE3X anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the other version that we know of...somewhere in all the pictures that were posted by Angelo of the test shots were teasers of that hood and those wheels.

Jordan White Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The wheel openings do appear to lack a bit of their "flared" look, but it's hard to tell in the low res pic without paint. There's also the matter of the rockers and rear lower fenders, which appear to possibly angle in too sharply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
