Revell 1985 GMC Jimmy 4x4 High Roller

My guess is that the next version of this kit will have a boat behind it. Could be wrong but considering they've had Broncos and Ramchargers with boats, seems logical. -

The Revell van has a full frame as does the AMT van. -

But the grille looks a lot like a Chevy. -
Revell 1985 GMC Jimmy 4x4 High Roller
mikemodeler replied to av405's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I noticed that this kit is about $10 more than the Blazer, not sure if that is because of tariffs or Revell charging more for the few extra parts tossed in. I did notice in the pictures of the assembled kit that a few parts need to be fabricated to provide accurate depiction of the underhood area, notably the heater hoses and A/C lines from the accumulator to the compressor and condenser. Not sure if I will pick one up, already have a GMC grille for a Blazer kit and I am sure I have some tires and wheels from Fireball that would yield a better look that what is shown in the box art. -

69 COPO Camaro kit (contents?)
mikemodeler replied to TECHMAN's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Back in 2008 Revell issued this version of it's 69 Camaro in a snap kit with Hot Wheels logo on the box. IMO, this curbside kit builds up nicer than the upcoming AMT kit as the body is better proportioned. Funny how the license has been shared over the years. -

I believe they have shipped to the distributors, just a matter of time before they end up at the hobby shops and online sellers -
Greg Wann is on here, might want to contact him to see if he is still casting that 67 Pace Car Body. At one time Ray's Decals had the 67 Pace Car decals too. I have a friend who has a 1:1 67 Pace Car that I would like to build a replica of one day soon, have all of the pieces to do it, just need the motivation!

mikemodeler replied to Erik Solie's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Those are MSRP. I just checked Wes's Model Car Corner and the red car is $29.99 and the white car is $31.50, available to pre-order today. I am sure other online sellers will have these at discounted prices. -
Fred's Model World is No More

That's sad to hear, he had some great prices on kits and was reasonable on the shipping. I guess as we age in this hobby things we took for granted are slowly disappearing.
