A shortbed with the round headlamps would be nice.

From the Revell website: The detailed replica of the McLaren MP4-25 brings the excitement of the 2010 Formula 1 season directly to your desk. With this scale 1:24 scale model kit, you can create an authentic replica of the race car that Lewis Hamilton used to achieve three unforgettable Grand Prix victories. https://revell.de/en/shop/product/070969090-vodafone-mclaren-mercedes-mp4-25-l-hamilton

Like with a Mercedes.

Or this boxing....

BTW speaking of chrome I was watching this YouTube video from Barbatos Rex a month or so ago....

The Stranger Things Blazer, does have chrome parts, like the bumpers and mirrors. The grille isn't plated because the grille isn't chrome on the real vehicle.

Panic! BTW my youngest brother and I had something similar, dunno why but, we were on an off ramp and my brother couldn't brake, so I pulled the handbrake ( emergency brake you call it in the US, no?) and so avoided a collision with cars in front of us who stopped at the traffic light.

An incentive maybe to buy Revell Chrom Spray?! 🤣😇🤪

I have both the Amt and Revell kits, one thing which is odd on the amt kit is how the did the chrome headlamp buckets, that said their execution of the taillamps IMHO is better than Revell's. Cheers Luc

It's an North American boxing, which for some reason (tarrifs maybe) ended up in Europe first.

What's in the box... Photo's courtesy of Frank Richter and Modellversium. More info via link below: https://modellversium.de/kit/artikel.php?id=14326

Want both versions!

Got this grand idea for a new model kit combo. Success guaranteed just kidding!!!!! 🤣 Cheers Luc

Just adding my wacky train of thoughts... 😉 Also to the lower production numbers model companies today, more so than in the past, can only make a good return on investment when incorporating from the get go several alternative versions into the overall project they're going to release over a certain period of time. Which means clever modular tool design. Even with cloning with improvement the past, one sees that being implemented, even when those initially were slimmer in parts content, by design, or by omitting certain components like a drive-train in the revamp. The latter maybe can be seen in view that the industry could be preparing itself for the next step in the world of modeling, like offering certain ( due to the limitations of injection molding) difficult to tool-up without compromising detail, parts/sub-assemblies via a online 3D print platform of their own, or a joint venture between distributors or chooses outlets where modelers can buy these 3D printed items from, who knows? IMHO interesting times ahead, so sit back and enjoy! Cheers Luc.

Maybe with a 1.8 or 2.0 liter engine.

Oops! Must be getting old 😉 Thanks for the heads up, I've corrected it now. Cheers, Luc.

Hopefully in time they backdate it to the original kit, which IMHO looks a lot more like a Jeep 😉.

Here's what is engraved in the chassis.

Odd that merchandise which go through the US in transit to another country, are taxed by the US, or was that part of the NAFTA deal?

A local to me (Antwerp Belgium) hobby shop has it in stock.

Looks like this one is hitting the shelves soon. https://revell.de/en/shop/product/145739090-85-pontiac-r-fiero-gt

Just for brainstorming purposes... If Round2 decides to redo the Charger and Roadrunner via their modified cloning program, should it be released as the originals were, or would you like to have some period correct 70s style Street Machine parts as optional parts, or something else? Just wondering this side of the big pond.
