Technically it isn't round2 to who does the show, but Hobby Craft International who represents several US companies and displays their current product range and also does the announcements when they receive that info and are authorized to do so... International Hobbycraft

It comes right on time, cuz my original looks kinda ratty ;^)

Yes sir! Letting Tamiya and Revell Germany tooling up classic British heritage, shame on you LOL. IMHO they should start with a Lotus Cortina MK1, then a Capri MK1....

Was wondering the same.. Or someone did some copy and paste with stock numbers and URL's and found that the files were online already..

Airfix should drop 1/32nd scale, for automotive kits and embrace 1/24th scale for non American subjects. Or do they fear the competition ;^) 'nuff said!

Ah....childhood memories.... Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez

it"s a UK manufacturer... Brian James Trailers

The vans are all new don't know about the rest....I'm waiting on the IPMS Germany site for more info

Finally!!!! I'm happy as a kid, Thank you very much Belkits, hope you can prove everyone wrong and that Opels do sell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never say never, look how long we had to wait, for a stock '48 Ford Coup.

Not Dave...but think it's unlikely, Revell having a '68 & '69 kills the possibility of siblings.

Probably because it was a scaled down version, of their 1/12th offering...

My thoughts exactly and if they ever find all the inserts, to cobble together a '79 Dodge Sweptside 4x4, I'd like a similar setting. Great work John G.!

Ah...the third kit I was waiting for to complete my order at my favorite hobby dealer.

It could happen, but only when people think it's cool again, driving Vans with shag carpet, glitter ball and metal flake paint work. ;^)

There's a Van who's making a long awaited comeback, go on a search via link below... Wettringer Modellbau Forum

Dave, sell that IMC kit, now that the news of this release is still hot LOL

Finally the infamous Olds, kit has landed...can't wait to add this one to the stash. Also ever since I've gotten the book "Police cars a graphic history" by Bruce W. Cameron, back in the late '90s, I kinda hoped for a modified release of their Pro-modeler '48 ragtop...again a must have. The '30 Ford coup, building options galore...and I'm sure Tim Boyd will be a great ambassador promoting this kit on online fora... Take it away Tim! ;^) Anyway..the boys and gals of Elk Grove Village did good.

6 or so months ago I wrote Tesla, to probe their interest of having their cars reproduced as 1/25th scale model kits, but never got a reply....

Found this on the German hobby site, Wettringer modellbau... Wettringer Modellbau forum (in German)

I'm sure the path they take when tooling an all new kit, is a much more cautioned one, after-all one doesn't sink in 250K for an all new kit, without a rock solid contract and then it's still a (calculated) gamble, will the sales tank, go ballistic, or something in-between, while the licensors cut, is carved in stone, you can only guess or rely on past track records of similar items. One can say whatever you want, about the spin doctors at company x, y, z....but I don't envy their job.

I mailed them a month or so ago, and their rep said that it will be a Q1 release. Also if one looks at their FB page you'll. will see that the kit is currently in production (China)

Just guessing here, cuz I don't know anything from that game of "chess" Maybe the corporate lawyers from both parties, had a text which only needed a signature, but the head honcho wanted more, to put more weight to his name within the company, cuz it doesn't matter how good or bad you are, ones name has to be circulating withing the company's management team, to get promoted...

Because they can?! It's their intellectual property and if one tries to make money from that, they will decide on the size of their slice of the pie (or Pizza), cuz it's not, that they need model companies to sell their cars, model and toy companies need the Ferrari myth and legacy, to sell a ton of SKU's (product) worldwide.... Though the least one can say is, that this occurrence will illustrate, how much of a creative mind the product developers are..... Interesting times for sure...
