Un-Real! That is almost too Kool for Words...

I sure Hope So! That is a Kit I would by in multiples!

Indeed. They just Phoned It In. It's like they have no clue about American Tastes or Wants. This looked much better presented as business plan to a bunch of German Honchos with no Real interest in American Culture. Yes, we got the Stranger Things TV Tie in, but almost too late to do any good. The series ends soon, and then what. Too Little-Too Late. And if the GMC Van is the fabled "Fourth Kit" then, IMHO, they have pooched about half the kits. The Camaro and Pizza Van are mildly warmed over retools, with bare minimum of newly tooled parts (and no Chrome. What the Hey?), and the Newly tooled kits are Okay, but no better than Okay. It is about the Lowest Effort brand extension I've seen in many years. Revell, Tell Us you don't really care, without telling us you don't really care. Urp....

Amen, Brian! A complete waste of my time. The Goofed the Front End, and The slab Chassis just seals the awful deal. I may buy the wheels when the eBay guys start parting out the kits.

Thanks for posting the photos. Seeing the details is a real let down. The Tires look bad (very shallow treads), No Brush Guard, no Swing-away Spare Tire Rack. No Gas Can. No Respectable 1980's 4x4 Nut would have called this a High Roller (or anything else) I'm glad to have it, of course and will be getting one or two, but a Light Bar & Rims/Tires, does not a weekend 4x4 make. Revell, this barely gets you to Second Base. I hope the next extension on this kit, brings more MOJO to the table.

And here is the Original '27 T Touring. Many of the custom parts on this kit were never seen again. This might be where round2 started cloning parts from. I am just guessing, here. I have no insider Info. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/show-rods/amt-xr-6-27-t--ford/

Hello, Steve! I am so glad they caught it in time. Take it easy and follow the Doctor's Orders. You be back to your old self in no time.

I agree, the Silver '30 Coupe gets my vote.

Elrod, Watch this Guy on YouTube. I Subscribed to his Channel. He is Young, but very, very knowledgeable. He seems to know his stuff, and he is always pretty positive. I know this is an HO Scale video, but He does do some "O" Gauge and Lionel stuff. So look at his History. Might help you discover some things about the Nifty Items you were given.

I think the Last Hit on the Falcon tooling was either '68 or '69. That might be what is left in the Toolbank.

On the way back from Avila Beach in SoCal, I saw 3 Tesla Cybertrucks, (one Stainless, one Blue Wrap, one Black wrap) a couple Dozen Tesla Cars, and a Auto Transport Truck with Four of those Chevy BrightDrop Electric Vans. Thanks Gary for ID'ing those. Fedex and Others are using those in Bakersfield, and I've a dozen of them on the road in last 6 weeks or so,

Yes, that is why this kit exists.

Not to be argumentative, but What does "best" mean to you? I think the only Hardtop is the MPC Flip Nose, but That is nowhere near stock. The Best Body Shape might me Revell's (new-ish) Snap Kit. But is a Curbside. The Newer AMT '57 is massively detailed, but I've heard murmurs about subtle Shape Issues. The OG AMT '57 is a good kit, but not Great. More '57's have been built from that kit than any of the others. So, It is hard to say which kit is best. The Only Kit that is universally panned is the OG Monogram kit, tooled in the 1970's. What Details, Options, and Style are most important to you? There is no Best. Only what is Best for you. Sorry to have such a Wishy-Washy answer for you.

Yes, but it could be the Version, I want!

That's because that's what those visible lines are called.
