Revell's new Corvette ZR1 kit is out. Its based on the regular Revell C6/Z06 kit with a lot of newly tooled parts. The body is new and very well done. very crisp details. some of the parts from the C6 kit is still in the box, like the exhaust and 2005 only steering wheel. i'm guessing its cheaper to keep those parts in rather then retooling it without it. The interior gets a nice update. with the correct steering. they also retooled the dash to have with the Navigation system. The engine block is the same from the C6 kit, but everything else is new. like the 4 piece super charger. then we come to the tires. which to my surprise are NOT the same ones from the other C6 kits, they appear to be completely new. the wheels are extremely well done. but the plating is a little heavy on them. stripping the chrome, and repainting with Alclad should really make them pop. they are a but small to my eye. but are still very well done. only issue I see is that Revell did'nt include any decals for the Carbon Fiber roof. not a huge issue since i'll use some SMS Carbon Fiber anyway. a+ from Revell with this one. its a winner.

I got the ZR1 and the Dart today at one of my LHS. They also had the Duster drag racer but I didn't get, as I have no interest in it.

Ferrari 458

This is what i'm leaning toward when I build mine.....

Revell did a great job on the box art for the Samba bus.

picked this one up today, I can't compare it to the original issue's of the SRT-10 Vipers because I don't have any. wheels look great, I didn't scale them but they appear to be the correct size. there on the chrome tree, so that will have to be removed. Decal sheets a bit of a disappointment as you can only do a red car. there's a lot of bare carbon fiber on the car so a few sheets of Scale Motorsports Carbon Fiber decals will be needed. Revell did a good job with this one.

I was in Micheals today and noticed there's a lot of clearence. 09 Challenger, 68 Charger. 70 Challenger. 57 Bel-Air (the one just released) almost looks like Micheals is going to make there model selection smaller. there are some good buys. I bought the 70 Challenger for $10 bucks.

The Ferrari California, 66 Mustang, and 69 Mustang are out now, I bought the 69 Mustang today at the LHS

anyone here ever built this kit?, The LHS had it for the price of a current Revell kit so I decided to buy it. haven't had a chance to take a good look at the kit yet,

Ford is expected to announce today at 3:00 P.M. the demise of Mercury.....

I paid $53 for mine, including shipping,

I'm kinda surprised that the Ferrari 458 from Revell AG is'nt on that list.

I'm with Bob with the fact that Revell needs to bring out the 2010 Mustang as a 2011. I'm assuming there modifying the 2005-2009 Mustang tooling to a 2010. and with how much retooling needs to be done they might as well update the motor as well nice too see an update to the new 72 Cutlass. its got a flat hood as well as an up top. also looking forward to that 48 Ford custom, as well as the Mustang SVO. its a small list but its a healthy list, I'll take quality over quantity and day. good job Revell.

I for one am happy too see that we are getting some modern Mercedes. I would really like too see the new CL kitted.

guess where never getting the Charger Police car :lol:

where's Demzel , it looks like the car from "Training day", great build

anyone know where I can buy pre-wired distributors, I'm out of them, and where I used to buy them doesn't offer them anymore.

mine was a 1995 Geo Prism, sold it in 2004 with 140,000 miles on it, and I should have never sold it. didn't burn oil, got 40 mpg's, The reason I sold it was because it needed a $30 exhaust manifold gasket and I decided not to fix it. (I was young, stupid, and wanted something newer). was a great car, had the 1.6 litre 4cyl with a 5sp manual. mine was pretty close to the picture below, same color (purple), but mine had some AR wheels, and a power moon roof

old thread......

I get my info from Finalgear.com. and they get there info directly from the producer of the show

actually last weeks was the last episode for the 14th season, (Hammond in the LFA, Clarkson in the BMW X6, and May in the Vauxhall Insignia VXR (Buick Regal GS as it will be known here stateside). season 15 won't start until June-July at the earliest.

even for a NASCAR fan like me SPEED has been bad lately. horrible coverage of the ARCA series, and some Camping World truck races get tape delayed. VS has been showing Pro Cup races for the last couple years. coverage of Sprint Cup qualifying has been hit or miss. There's been talk of NASCAR developing there own network like the NFL and NHL have. Motor sports has become filler over at SPEED between episodes of "Wrecked" and "Pinks".......

That was a great jump. I really liked it because my 1:1 is a 2008 Subaru Impreza, (minus about 200 horsepower compared to Travis's) looks like they underestimated the weight balance because it seemed like the drivers side of the car was a little heavy.

IIRC there are 3 more episodes left in this series.....
