Where? New release newsletter

The Panamera is all about bling bling, so guess RoG chose that, on the same merit as Revell-Monogram did with the Escalade and Hummer H2 kits a decade or so ago, Hopefully they will include some neat wheel options..... The Porsche tractor, I know nothing about, and hope some of our German friend here can shed some light, on why this is being kitted. BTW.. Wish everyone here a fantastic 2017!!

Looking at the box, the decals are probably ruined....from moist.

In the old fashioned way, one slip with the knife when doing BMF and your paint job is ruined...

Kinda odd that they don't group the parts from each version on a separate tree, they either can block off, or if a cluster of smaller tooling is used, can be a separate tooling. But I'm sounding like a broken record Anyway hope to have my copy next week...

The Mpc '67 GTO also falls under that moniker, and the guys at Round2 knew it all too well, when they re-released it. As an annual it was a crisp representation, but it aged rather poorly due to some funny decisions, which probably made a lot of sense at the time.. Anyway, despite it's short comings, I always liked the styling upgrade over the previous model year, which Revell tooled up somewhere in the late 90s.

That shop and a automotive book store, were definite stops whenever I was in the area.

The font clip is different, IMHO the worst looking snout of the Pinto generation.

Can't one glue a fine strip of polystyrene where the crease should be and then wet (paper wrapped around a rubbery block) sand it the full length, to blend it in? Just thinking out loud...

Great work Jürgen!, brings me back to the 80s Happy holidays!! Luc

Looks Great!!

Back in the day when Ertl was tooling up the all new Amt 2nd gen. Camaro model kit, they should've considered doing the Poncho twin, and the changes both models went thru, during the decade they were produced. I'm sure the engineers tried to, but that marketing told them "every man his trade"

that just changed

I'm still waiting on news from my vendor

Revell Germany also does it that way, tooling done in China, production in the EU (Poland)

Remember filling in that order form and sending it in....then a month or two later (surface mail) receiving the kits.

Oh my...I'm stocking up on Revell '94 impala SS's for their underpinnings

Who says we don't?

plus... since model car kits, were most of the time siblings from promo-tools for which the OEM picked up the tab, versus now, where the model kit manufacturers pays a licensing fee, to have the authorization from the OEM, to tool up one of their designs as a scale model kit and even have a say in how the product will be portrait on the box-art!

Just had a great deal today, in fact anyone in Belgium can have that deal, just bought an extra re-boxed by Revell Moebius Prostar truck, for a whopping 20 euro, at a national big box toy chain, the truck tire sets Moebius sells cost even more. Do I need it right now, nope, but I'm sure at one point in time, parts of it can be used, or heaven forbid they all of a sudden become rare and sell for mega bucks on ebay

Indeed, sir!

Find it odd that when comparing some prices the re-releases of Round-2 cost more then fresh engineered kits from Revell. Maybe Round-2 should also design more all new kits, cuz it seems cheaper then restoring old tooling

Yes Italeri truck tires, they're in the new Mercedes-Benz Actros truck kit

Non brand tires with sidewall detail, speed codes and dimensions..

Hmm...maybe I'll have my copy 'round Christmas then...
