Much too early, I know Tim, but someday I would love to read your memoirs, not only model- but also car industry wise. Cheers!

Bob, I remember that when the Moebius '65 was released, comments about the position of the C-pillar, yet the Amt 64 an anual which means the "gold standard" for some, had the exact same shape 😉 Cheers, from across the puddle.

Is that good or bad? 😉

Thanks Walid, but got a few of those already. Cheers! Luc

What Mark says. I've done my share of disassembling for future rebuilds and frankly regret it. Cuz you're erasing something unique, a time capsule. My 2 cents.

You're selling a dream, so yes people want the souped up version, and if there's room for the builders personal touch other than paint color, even better. When one want to buy a real car the reality of life (financial, practicality) prevents that. Cheers!

A pitty that besides the obligatory Mini, beetle, 2cv. Golf and now the upcomming 205, European model car manufacturers are gun shy to do the bread and butter cars for the masses, European Ford's and GM's Opel and Vauxhall models....US model car builders in that respect are blessed. Oh well.

An update from Italeri.... https://www.italeri.com/en/article/858 Photo's courtesy of Italeri

The business model of HLJ (and the like) is going to take a hit with this. In Europe we are used to this, we always had to pay duties on commercial packages comming in from outside the EU.

I'm having a déjà vu, Bob 😉 Cheers Luc

The original kits came in these donut boxes. Here 2 pics of the box-art

Yet this generation Mustang as was the previous model is sold in Europe thru Ford Europe, while the 06-10 generation was not. While I prefer full detail, the kit itself looks pretty darn great as presented at the Nationals. Ps. Looks like both US as Euro license plates will be included.

Thanks for the update, James.

IMHO the Tucker had its momentum at the time of the movie, but it's more of an automotive footnote, than something that set the world on fire, the Stude however an iconic vehicle opening the decade known as the fabulous fifties Also remember as a teen watching a German music program on TV called Formel Eins, where the Stude was prominently featured. Does this mean a kit of the Stude will sell like hot cakes? Dunno but IMHO it has a lot more going for it, than the Tucker, maybe Revell Germany should look at the numbers 😉 Cheers from over the big puddle called the Atlantic Ocean.

Maybe someone in the 3D printing world will come up with mirrors and the right footwear for this kit, provided that the kit itself isn't updated of course. Cheers

Would be neat to have, indeed.

Don't have this re-release, as it's not in regular distribution by Revell in Europe. So can't comment on this....maybe by checking out HPIguys youtube clip build of this kit, your question can be answered.

Sometimes in parts breakdown in general, not enough thought was given, into how to detail paint. Like molded-in everything in the front facia of a car, where separate grilles would make it so much easier to paint. IMHO, if you wish to make model building a pleasant experience, try to eliminate things that can cause frustration. Just my 2 cents 😉

There is some misconception here. Fewer parts don't necessarily mean a lot less detail. while lots of parts mean more. It's all about how you engineer a kit. One example; in some 90s designed kits, you have a two-piece dashboard assembly, to be able to have the upper heating/cooling/ventilation vent engraving. Now it's one piece, yet has the detail too. Form follows function. Cheers

Oops yes, the '69. But they all come with these turbine wheels?
