My advice- steer clear of this place. They will only force you to buy more kits and then you will run into storage issues. The fact that they ship quickly and the prices are great only adds to lure of buying more. I had to delete it from my favorites as it was causing a problem with my health. I made a vow to only spend my lunch money on kits and because of the Sales Shack I have missed lunch for nearly three weeks now! Okay, obviously the above statement is made in jest, I have bought from them and they have great prices and service and would recommend them to anyone! And to those members who have met or know me, they will attest it has been a long time since I missed a meal!

Nice story, too bad he didn't consider gifting it to you, that would have been a great gift!

That is a beautiful Corvette and I would like to be second in line if possible! Love the color combination and drivetrain! An old co-worker had a similar Vette- 66 with the 427 single carb set up- and it provided many smiles when we'd go for rides!

Sadly someone probably ordered it for the sole purpose of re-selling it on eBay to make big bucks. For those of us who ordered to get something to build it only delayed us and the Holthaus's retirement.

Just did a trade with 68shortfleet, went smooth and great communication.

OMG, are you serious???????? Where did you read/hear that?????? That would be the worst thing to happen to our hobby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Say it ain't so! I better buy up all of the Revell kits I can before it's too late!

Don't forget the A/C compressor, that pulley is suspended in air! Looking good, nice details.

If they are anything like your other products, they should be a great seller! Looking forward to seeing them.

Not to be a wise guy, but sounds like bad timing on your behalf. With the bankruptcy court shutting down the offices after accepting the winning bid, I would think there are many in the same boat as you. Hopefully once everything is settled on May 8 and the new company can start discussing what the future is for Revell USA, one of the things they continue to offer is a parts replacement service similar to previous ownership. In the meantime, you might consider offering up one of your incorrect hoods for trade (if it's possible) here to at least allow you to have the correct part for the future.

Thanks for this information, I wasn't aware of these extras you have pointed out, might have to get another one (or three!).

What is wrong with you??? Don't you know you should be on forums spreading fear into the hearts of fellow modelers about the demise of Revell and how the Germans always ruin everything???? LOL! Good for you, I intend to do the same this weekend!

Don't be surprised if in the next 5-7 years if there isn't some consolidation of vehicle manufacturers globally. Our big 3 enjoy selling SUVs and Pickups here in the US but cannot sell small cars, while in many parts of the rest of the world, small cars are top sellers.

Take that sign off the roof and at first glance I would say that was a Toyota Tacoma. Styling today has become so bland and yet whatever they produce we buy!

Not to get into a battle over who knows what, but as a person who has spent the last 37 years working on and around automobiles, I will object to your statement I have highlighted above. Last year I worked for Honda on their airbag inflator recall campaign that targeted 2001- 2003 Honda Accords and Civics and there still millions of them on the road. Many had over 150,000 miles on the odometer but people were still driving them. Today I work for a parts company and I can tell you that many of our top selling parts fit vehicles that are 6 years old and older, a testament to the quality of Asian vehicles. The majority of them are FWD and if regular maintenance is performed, these cars will easily go 15-20 years and 300,00 miles or more. I respect your opinion, but research some facts before blaming a chassis design that has been around since the 60's and has proven to be reliable and efficient.

No kidding! I placed my order yesterday and I will have my kits on Thursday, not bad from the NW corner of the USA to the SE corner!

My point exactly. Apparently my thinly veiled sarcasm was taken seriously.

I agree, but maybe a little more speculating and dire forecasts for the demise of Revell is just what we need. I mean, why bother building kits and posting stuff here relative to the hobby that is positive when one can predict the future based on whatever "knowledge" they may possess?

Absolutely beautiful. Very well detailed and paint is gorgeous!

Sorry for your loss Mark, I lost my oldest brother a month ago to cancer. Once they get near the end, they seem to go quickly and it's hard to think of them not being here anymore. Condolences to your family.

Maybe he means that with different decals, one could build many different race cars. Not familiar with this car, maybe the chassis can be used with other bodies?

Just placed an order, two kits for $35, $17 for priority shipping, $52 Total cost . Was a little surprised at the shipping cost as standard shipping was $1 less. Looking forward to getting the kits, they will become stash residents until I can work them into the build process, probably sometime around 2030!

too late, someone else beat you to that several pages ago.

This sounds very promising and with service like that, a recipe for success. Might have to look at a few kits that I was thinking about and pull the trigger before they are gone!

I was disappointed when I bough this kit as it clearly states "2'n1" and there was only one kit inside, talk about misleading!
