Hi folks. I've read the whole thread on this one, and I'm afraid I have to be the one dissenting voice among all the excitement. Don't get me wrong, I'm as excited as the next guy about this kit, and I already have three on pre-order from my local plastic pusher.
However, before we get all het-up over this model I'd like to make an observation. I think people are being a bit premature in expecting that this is an "All new tooling"
I have bits and pieces of the original, and it's a fair distance from 1/25 scale, more like 1/20 (as has been previously noted in this thread) I know it'sbeing advertised as 1/25 scale, but as the subject is fictional, there is no original to master it from, and so Revell can concievably get away with cleaning up the old dies and just re-shooting it. The test shots we see in the previous posts (Thanks guys!) do not strike me as having a level of detail one might expect from a moern (Completely re-tooled) kit.
I think what we're looking at there is a reissue of the original. Nothing wrong with that, but definitely NOT as exciting as a whole new kit of a competition coupe.
just my 2 cents
