The two areas behind the rear windows that should be black and have the size of the engine and GTI written out are there no decals for that? The black can be painted by hand but the letters will be impossible. That is the only question mark for me regarding this kit but I will buy a couple either way.

Same, but based on the parts count it should be better than the '15 and '18 snap kits at least.

What are the new parts in this release?

I don't think Revell use side opening boxes for the large scale kits at least none that I own.

Looks like there is a half decent engine in this kit too.

They reissued both versions of the Renault 5 Turbo perhaps they will do the same with the Quattro.

Reissue coming next year: https://tamiyablog.com/2024/12/some-future-upcoming-tamiya-re-releases-for-2025/ Hopefully Tamiya keep reissuing kits that have not been available for a very long time. I have a long list of kits I want.

When Revell tooled the '68 and '69 I was hoping they would continue and make '70-'72 but I have now lost hope.

Guess there will be no detailed engine in this one. I will get one anyway.

The last teaser. https://www.kitreviewsonline.de/der-neue-heller-bausatz-in-124-4/

I came here to post this too. Cannot find any other source. If true I am very excited about this kit been waiting for someone to make the current gen 911.

And here is the interior. The kit must be an older version the one I remember had a different nicer looking steering wheel. https://www.kitreviewsonline.de/der-neue-heller-bausatz-in-124-3/

Another photo has been released. This time the engine bay. https://www.kitreviewsonline.de/der-neue-heller-bausatz-in-124-2/

I am no expert but this teaser is the 205 GTi right? https://www.kitreviewsonline.de/der-neue-heller-bausatz-in-124/

Only a year late. Will buy at least the car transporter trailer.

I want the '57 Bel Air. Wasn't there a version of this kit once that included photo etched parts? Or maybe I am thinking of another kit.

What does the original box art look like for the 56 Thunderbird?

Me too, 64 1/2 Mustang is my favorite and I used to own this kit but sold it on because of the issues you mentioned. I wanted the 57 Thunderbird kit when it was reissued but after reading how bad it is this 56 kit sounds a lot more promising.

Noticed the other day Tamiya is bringing this one back. From what I understand it is a simple kit that used to be motorized but I have always liked the look of this car so I will be picking one up for sure. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-24368-renault-5-turbo--1564722

Great news, I have been waiting a long time for this.

It seems most kits announced for 2023 were delayed until this year. At least the car related kits I am interested in. I asked Heller about the trailers for example and they said april.

If it is a full detail 1:24 kit my prayers have been answered.

Great news. I already have one but might pick up another one just to encourage them to reissue more from the classic cars range.

Perhaps the releases in the link I posted are the ones that will appear in a Revell Germany box and the convertible only in the US box. Guess we have to wait and see. Other US releases like the Jeep are not mentioned for example.

Some more news from Revell Germany: https://ipmsdeutschland.de/wordpress/2024/01/01/revell-neuheiten-2024-model-kits-2/ The only new tool I wasn't aware of is the Lamborghini Revuelto. I am happy the '69 Camaro 1/12 is reissued again I missed it the last time. Any idea what kit the ’70 Shelby Mustang GT500 is a reissue of? I can only see the '69 on Scalemates. Or are they the same?
