I do hope it does come with Cartograf decals, they are so nice to work with, and would probably be more accurate. My LHS has the Revell AG kits priced quite a bit more than U.S. box style ones. But, I also noticed that the Japanese stuff, at least what has been coming in currently, has dropped in price. The older stock is still a bit high. Maybe they can get their hands on the Fujimi versiona at a lower price, but I would still like the AG version with hopefully better decals.

So are you telling me that European and U.S. version will be priced the same? And my original post said "It Would Be" not "It Will Be"

Eventually it will find its way into a U.S. Revell box and that is when the price becomes more realistic. Kits boxed in the Euro box are always a bit more. And sure, they are currently cheaper in Japan due to the money exchange, but are you going to Japan to get one? How much to ship it to the U.S.? If you are in a hurry for one, then shipping them or buying a Fujimi kit here are the options, otherwise, just wait it out.

It would be more affordable than a Fujimi boxed kit.

And that is exactly what I tried to do with my build. The kit has a few issues, after all, it was just a cobbled up version of the Ramchargers car with a new body, valve covers and decals. The engine is still the HEMI, but this those hideous valve covers. I just chose to do a what if on my build version. My late friend, Skip, made more correct style decals for the car. So I raided the parts boxes and this was the result

The Rams dragster became the Milner drag car when they did a tie in to the More American Graffiti movie. Then it got a Coupe body before the kit disappeared for a while. But I guess they must have opened up the Milner gates on the mold. Also, the decals are wrong as well.

Just watched HPI build his and it made me open my kit and check it, and it actually looks pretty straight.

....and let the games begin! LOL!

In the case of Revell's Nomad, it is the fit and proportions of the kits. If you watched the video, all the issues with this kit also apply to the other Revell Tri Five kits from that era. And for the Monogram, it is detail and body proportions that make it a negative kit for those striving to build something more accurate. The best way to know is by building them yourself and then making the call, and most of us who are calling them out, have built them in our past. Some of us multiple times.

They where out there, not many images around, but they did it

Don't we have a thread for this kind of stuff a bit down from this thread? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/forum/16-car-aftermarket-resin-3d-printed/

This was around 1971-1972 and it did not last that long. By the time Model Companies jumped on the fad, it was already gone from the scene.

Dragster where using to get some down force and the funny car guys decided to try them, but in the end, they where of little use and a pain when it came time to work on the cars. They also became a safety issue, clipping crewmen of flying off into the crowds.

I got it! I got it!

Ok, and back on track!

I highly doubt it, it is too new of a mold for Revell AG to give up.

Actually, the Dollar is currently quite strong against the Yen, so now would be the time to grab stuff like that from japan.
