Oops! Sorry. CRS Strikes again.

Ah, so That's where the '66 Chevelle comes from! Thanks!

I think we will see it Bob. Just not on the original timetable. The VC firm who owns Revell now, does not seem like the kind of folks to squander all the effort that has already been invested in the kit. It will show up someday.

I wonder if somebody ever cast that body in resin? It sure does look sharp!

Yeah, it will be that botched, "New & Improved" kit from the bad old days. Other than the wheels, that kit is just a sad reminder of "What-could-Have-Been". But, there are two whole generations who've never seen or built the thing, so it will sell briskly. I do hope they at least include the instructions for and explanations of the three different intake options that were tooled into the kit. And maybe put the "Chrysler Firepower" engraving on the valve covers. At least the wheels and tires are good for kit bashing. About the only part of the kit that is worth keeping......... I remember the deep disappointment with this kit when it first came out. So Heavily anticipated, and then so controversial when we finally got it. There is probably a thread buried on this board comparing the 90's kit with the real kit from the '60's. I wish Round2 would just tool up the correct parts, and not phaffle around with the Mod Rod, that they tried to pull off a few years ago. If they had restored all the Ala Kart parts back then, I'd have bought a couple cases of the kit. Instead we got some un-wanted and un-needed axle parts, and just enough of the surviving Ala Kart parts to tease us. As a customer, I felt it was a huge fiasco! The Mod Rod kits never seemed to sell very well, and vanished pretty fast too. I suspect somebody at Round2 badly misjudged the market for the Mod Rod, and the sales ( I am guessing) reflected that lack of demand. I wound up with one.

Good to see they are on top of it. Thanks, Gary

Kurt......Be nice now.

Ah, Thanks. I'm still waiting for the "Highboy Style" 1960s 4x4, with the tall, skinny tires.

Time to give Joseph some of my money.

I'm unhappy that I missed attending the March Meets this year. I just could not afford to go. I have not been able to make it since 2019! Ugh! Between COVID, Eye Surgery and scarce funds, I have just had to put it off. Well, I should be able to make the Hot Rod Reunion in October. Maybe next year, provided they happen next year.

Is this kit going to be a 4x4?

His build up of the ole Ratpacker sure looks sharp!

And, HPI Guy has one! Note that there is no rear window for the top. He would have really been able to do a better review if he had looked at the instructions that were posted earlier in this thread. It would have allowed him to I.D. many of the parts he is puzzled by. The finished build sure looks great, though!

I am waiting to see one of the New Moebius kits built with the decals from the AMT Chevy II "Twister" kit.

Gary, what has Atlantis told you in regards to this problem?

Is there a Tamiya Colour that is close to this green? I can probably get Tamiya easier than I can get Testor's anymore.

What colour Green is this car? I really dig the box art Green , and the two Real Car are cool too.

And the directions. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1961-1970/mpc-1967-chevrolet-/ Not my kinda kit, but I am very happy to see it released again.

I agree with you, Ace. But, the inability to manufacture or ship the correct parts will be the death of our complicated, Just-in-Time civilization. This is just a taste of what is coming. The Go-Along-to-Get-Along folks already out number those who try to do a good job. In Fact, many of the 'Go Along' types. look down on the Hard Working types, because it make the 'Go Alongs' look bad. Thus, were get here. Eventually, the whole rotten thing will collapse, as correct parts, of good quality slowly vanish.

They've done the Blankety-Blank '64 Galaxie at least twice in the last 2 years! Time for this kit to come back. Maybe with Coke Branding. ?

It was mentioned on the other board, that a big shipment of these , is stuck on a train car, waiting to be unloaded. They are here, just not in the retail channels yet.

Very Nice! Looks period Correct, to the old photos, I've seen.

Queen: One Vision!

Oh, That is great news, Steve! I really can't wait to see what other little surprises are in there.

Since this kit re-uses the chassis from the '64-67 Corvette kits, after looking at the photos Steve posted on page 2, you can see that a few small parts from various years of the kit have survived on the sprues. I see what might be the Rally Instrument cluster from the '64 Vette and the Jackstand from the '63-4-5 kits. Not chromed any more but it is there. It looks like most of the Fuel Injection intake may be present as well. Without being able to zoom in on the sprues in the new kit, it is very hard to see what else may have survived, Anyway, there will be a few very old parts, that haven't been seen in ages, hiding in this kit. As Dave Darby says, a huge period parts mine. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1961-1970/amt-63-corvette-sti/file4.html https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1961-1970/amt_64_corvette/1964_corvette_conve-2.html
