1/25th. Jo-Han had some great pattern makers on their payroll.

about the '62 Mopar kits, there are several companies who re-release vintage kits in an attempt to sell nostalgia, these kits are just that nostalgia and people who buy such kits, in a way try to relive the moment building a kit they had a a kid, happy non worrying times! I'm sure if the tooling is usable, plastic will flow through the old gates, to form something which is bigger then it really is. Luc

Luc Janssens replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
If they do decide to release the Bronco, I hope they do look at the way the wheels are molded, cuz the ones I have, have numerous sinkmarks, just say'n -

Funny how the door doesn't match the rest of the car.

Geoff, strange that you left off the end caps and didn't paint them as a unit with the body.

Not Bill, but I saw it too, it was Terry Jessee who broke the news on spotlight hobbies, and on FB I saw that Jairus Watson was doing the box-art -

As others said in this tread, I too prefer basing an all new '71-'72 (with a slight preference for the latter) Roadrunner on the '90s designed Amt/Ertl '71 Charger, but not holding my breath.

A question for the kit historians and Cadillac fans here. I have two Eldorado kits, both have the same box and kit number (C-211:200) but one has side trim and the other not, is one an early production the other late? Another oddity is that the box-art shows the car with a padded top, yet both models come without. Hoping for a good story

Here a link to the German DPMV site, where they show a test shot of the upcoming Revell Land Rover http://www.dpmv.de/plastikmodellbau/194-bericht-2019-10-08-landrover-testshot-revell-24

Not in 1/24 or 1/25th scale plastic kit, but do seem to remember seeing one announced in 1/32nd scale from Aoshima or so.

Any NEW kits ?
Luc Janssens replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Greg, give everyone involved some time, the hobby isn't the investors gold mine it was in the past, so everything is carefully looked over before committing to all new projects. is it frustrating not hearing anything move; yes,....the PR could be better, but it's the way it is,... -
Any NEW kits ?
Luc Janssens replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
When they make the announcement. You have to take into account that when this 3D generated review model was showed to the public, Moebius was a Florida based company owned by Frank Winspur, but since then, he sold his company to Pegasus in California and the decision now is theirs, to go further with it, or not and the time-frame. -

2019 All Japan Hobby&Model Show
Luc Janssens replied to martinfan5's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Don't think it will be a re-box cuz the stock-number is the same as the Revell Germany release, Hasegawa does import Revell kits, that's probably why their logo is on the display . -
Just make sure to sand the top of the roof smooth, cuz remember that my copy of this kit showed the engraved remains of the vinyl top from the GSS release.

Heard that "Mini" is also a though one.
-
Yes, but the big question is, is that market big enough to carry the investment for what will be a faithful re-production of an old tool, vs how big the market is to support an all new detailed kit, cuz "cutting the tooling is where the bulk of the investment goes to.
