  1. See above post (forgot you in the quotes)
  2. Went the way you're suggesting.. Thanks all for your input!
  3. Can't Revell bring all 4 in one box? Or would licensing up the msrp too much? About the HD-Ford F series set, I have to say that besides the bike, I like the way the R-M engineers designed the front clip with seperate grille insert, something I wish they would've done with that whole gen of F150's as it enabels the builder to achieve better cleaner builds IMHO
  4. I'm thinking mid sixties Olds '88 or so....
  5. Did an Olds enter the '64 Monte Carlo rally? I knew of the Ford Falcon, hint of things to come?!
  6. Looking forward to this kit, also congrats to Steve!
  7. Looks like a August release, whether it's in Europe or the US, no idea. Revell Modellbau - Offizielle Website von Revell Deutschland | Neuheiten 08/2021
  8. The 81 Camaro also could be the ex-Monogram 1/24th scale snap-tite!
  9. Kinda wonder if the Toronado/Californian tool has some gates welded off, if yes, could be a parts goldmine when put into production unblocked. Anyone in the know?
  10. They don't need to backdate it, but improve reverse engineer it, that way they can fix some of the irregularities on the body sides which are leftovers from the initial release, cuz they had to grind further into the side cavities to erase the side windows and trim. But I'm with you that the pre-facelift Dodge Van looks way better and hopefully many more folks do so, to bring the topic to the attention to the folks of Round-2.
  11. Is it the ex Polar Lights or the Amt/Ertl kit? BTW The windows are damped, are they smoking pot inide?!
  12. Build a new one and put them side by side in your display kabinet, "then and now"
  13. Hope Dave Burket saw the potential in some of the Fireball products.....cuz he can set things in motion...
  14. Ditto for the Sierra's always preferred the sedans over the "scuba dive" front-end hatchbacks.
  15. beautiful build! This kit is on my wish list.
  16. A new model kit manufacturer? And they say the hobby is dying, Ha!
  17. Since these trailers are insulated, I guess the temp stay's more or less constant, as oppose to regular trailers which can heat up like a furnace when driving through the desert states, no?!
  18. From an old French movie...... Le petit Baigneur - En arrière toute - Bing video
  19. In the review of the tractor I noticed that that kit also has decals to use on a trailer, so no need to buy the Fruehauf, just go for the Great Dane, unless your a box-art collector.
  20. It's a pity things didn't work out as hoped, the timing was right, etc....
  21. Could be that the market penetration of Italeri is bigger in some countries than Revell.
  22. Two possibilities, both reboxed: - Ex Esci kit - Revell AG kit
  23. Indeed, the initial run from the Euro boxing had the irregularities in the plastic, the US boxing is just now showing up in North America.
  24. Talked with someone who knows a thing or two about injection molding, and he said; This is most likely caused by heater band temps on molding machine set too low,, plastic is "setting" before mold cycle is complete.. I'm sure stuff like that happens all the time when putting a new tool into production, but such a deviation should be caught by the production operator or QC, before the product goes to the packaging line.
