Kinda wondering, if there would be interest in the initial Corvair model. photo credit: Jon Zarbolias

Got several of these van's, but kinda hope that in the future they bring back the GMC again, doesn't have to be an A-Team licensed kit, a factory stock will do too.

As with all new technology there's a learning curve and they will improve with each new new release based on a long-gone vintage kit. The FB you mention, I filed the A-pillars to match the original kit I have, just need to glue on some evergreen strip to make up the trim. Anyway, can't wait to see what's around the corner. Cheers Luc

Thanks Bill, will ask the Belgian distributor.

Hey guys, Anyone know if it's possible to order spare parts from Aoshima? Cheers Luc

Probably more even, when you're living in mainland Europe, plus 21% sales tax and 15 Euro on import duty.

It would never come with the neat Spy Cat options the original Mpc kit had, and that may be the ultimate nostalgia factor sought by the older weekend buyer. Dunno just guessing ?

Let us hope! Cheers

Would love to have a retooled improved '66 Bonnie, but the big question will be, how well would kits of full size American coups like this one, or the 67 Galaxie perform, compared to what seems the American gold standard, meaning the Chevy Impala.

So much for the rumor then, that there already were test shots shown.

A pitty they didn't update it to have clear headlamps and turnsignals, but nevertheless these old Chevelle's make great street machines. So might add it to the pile ?

Same for Europe and then there's the matter of sales tax and cost to get it past customs. A couple of months ago I had an issue with replacement parts, sent to me at no cost, but to get it into the country would cost me $25, so returned it to sender and they had it sent to a friend in the US where I will pick it up when visiting next year. Belgium I really had it! GRRRR

That takes it to the to buy list

Steve, it looks like the stock headlights and buckets are also included in the kit, as are the stock tail lights.

The back cavity of the mold is a separate sliding piece, so who know's.... tho it would've been easier to detail, if just the taillight panel had been a separate chrome part. Think I'm gonna BMF the whole panel, then paint it black and carefully scrape the paint off the raised trim bits

Maybe some more farmer's protests in Europe at the time of release will give this one an extra boost

Most likely because past sales numbers show the subject matter strongly appeals to the average impulse buyer.

Neat wheels!

Looks like Chris of Hpiguys is building one.... A question for Steve Goldman tho; is the stock grille still included or is blocked off? Cheers Luc

If this is what it takes to have a standard bench seat and OEM wheels, I'm all for it, besides think it will be nice in red. Cheers!

It's a mad mad mad mad world.

Tim, I believe they are, tho later on Klaus Lassen of Revell Germany designed all kinds of variations. You can find him on Facebook Cheers!

Have one too, the plan is to mate the mixer bits to a Autocar truck, cuz IMHO it looks more like a rough work truck. A project for when I retire in 5 or do years.

Indeed, they always fascinated me ever since I was a child browsing through a sixty-two Revell product catalog my dad had.
