Now, back to what the OP asked. No, Revell / Monogram did not offer a Ford 289 with Webers.

Correct indeed, I would like to know how the body compares to the Tamiya curbside version. I have not seen one of the Tamiya Savanna kits in some time.

Sorry, I was talking about the second gen RX-7 as a possible engine donor.

Other cool thing about the Mazda, other than an engine in it. is that it is in 1/24th and thus we can use some of the nice wheel set ups from Asian kits and the Turbo Rotary from the Tamiya kits!

As much as a 4X4 of the Suburban would be cool, and I hope it does come later, the stock or 2wd, i think is a more common version for everyday type of vehicles. Service, Push/Pit truck and family truckster. I know it is not the same year or make, other than GM, but this is what I have in mind for it.

If the wheels from the cafe version are still in it, I will be buying a few or trading with those who choose not to use them! They are perfect for vintage foreign cars!

That's funny, you got it totally backwards. Good for you and your bad observations.

Now that you mention it, that is totally a customized model . Not the box stock kit. The front grill is closed up and yes, the wheels have been replaced. I guess I got duped by the Model King! Now that is some serious misrepresentation of what is in the kit.

I vote for the Cafe Racer! But the stock if fine also

It is a purpose built machine, and that purpose is to show off the sponsors! Not a concourse correct numbers matching machine.

Well, it all depends on what was on the lass issue of the kit, The Model King version and from what I can see on the box art, it has the original style wheels. And hopefully not these

Beat it, beat it until you can not beat it anymore! Let it out! Hop on a bus, makes signs and occupy Revell HQ! No Accuracy, No Purchase! No Accuracy, No Purchase! Model Kit Accuracy Matters

I wonder if the Yenko Vette is going to be based off the Road Racing kits? Big yes to the F-100, Suburban and the Mazda!

Nice and clean! Great build and hope you are getting better!

Who ever cut the mold just turned the slots from innies to outties. It has happened before with other kits, some have been corrected and some have been just left alone and forgotten. Somewhere down the line it got lost in translation by someone who most likely has never seen a real Corvette, but then again, they do have all kinds of American cars in China now. Is this massive enough for Revell to fix, most likely not to them. If they fix it, good for them. If they don't, well, just expect more in the future. Maybe they should start treating rotors like their tires and leave the markings off. Oh well, I still bought it and will build it. Done.

Awesome! Thanks for posting! Can't wait to grab a couple of them!

Ok, here it goes, ready? I don't care, I don't. Only some of us model builder types care, the rest of the world does not give a flying leap at a rolling doughnut about this. And thus, I don't care either. I will maybe fix it, then build it, and then it will sit and collect dust, most likely placed in the box and someone, someday, will throw it away with the rest of my junk. Yes, they sell them in the toy aisle, not the "Super Cool Model Builders" section. And just in case, I don't care.

For cripes sake! I WAS TALKING ABOUT US BUILDERS!!!!

Other than the Pro stuff, you are looking at all this in the proper light! It is a hobby and not profession, at least not for me, and I am not pro. I am model builder and I am going to enjoy building this and I hope you do as well!

Yeah, real scary stuff. Forget it, I am taking this kit back as defective!

I never said for you not to speak your mind or that you did not like the kit, obviously you don't, Read it again, You want to call it supporting Revell, fine, but don't make it sound like we are lemmings for buying it. Something so minor that can be corrected is fine with me. I have no fear of fixing a kit. Did they goof, yes, but is is worth calling them names for it? No. Lots of kit companies have made mistakes and fixed them, or not. I could see if the roof was caved in or the wheels where on top of the hood, but just because someone in a different country messed up on the drawings and someone did not catch it, I am not going to boycott if for something so small. It is not like am expecting Tamiya quality out of a $20 kit.

It is not supporting Revell, it is buying the stuff they make because that is what we want. Even with oversights like rotors that no one can really see, there is no one else making this kit. So stop this false worship style of postings. As usual, you don't like it, don't buy it, Feel free to talk about it all you want, but don't be surprised when someone snaps back, like me.

If you claim to be a Chef, but can not even boil water, then get ready to catch some flak. And if you buy that boiled water as soup, well, that is on you. I am pretty sure this guy knows what a Pro Build is compared to what he is claiming. I have not sympathy or pity for him when people are calling him on it.

I am a pro modeler. I am from France!

Wow, it came out awesome! Great detail and finish! Can't wait to see what you do next!
