  1. Should be good, happy they are on Amazon, no advertising from the auto makers means they can give Honest reviews. Not surprised they went with an American company. Gives Clarkson free speech to say whatever stupid thing he wants too say
  2. 2 years after we first saw the C7 Corvette we finally get our first kit of one. This kit comes in the new smaller boxes we saw the 15 Mustang snap kit come in, but this kit is not as basic as that one. it comes with a multi piece interior. as well as nicely detailed headlights and taillights. there is no chrome in the kit. Revell nailed the "satin" finish wheels that the new Corvette has. The chassis is one piece. but is nicely detailed that some basic painting should make it look great.
  3. the Tamiya Gazoo racing TRD GT86 kit has an excellent set of modern steel wheels it, but I doubt if you would want too spend $60 on a parts kit
  4. Kit is out, picked up the stock version today for $36 at the LHS
  5. Don't think anyone has mentioned it yet but I'd really like a lhd dash for the Tamiya Isuzu Vehicross
  6. Doesn't this kit have an inaccurate body, too short iirc
  7. There is a small difference in the mounts for the i6 and the v8. But any modeler should have problem changing them, just required drilling a hole in the frame. Everything else is a direct swap. The side trim can be easily shortened to fit the short bed. The interiors are also a direct swap
  8. Several sites are listing it as "in stock". So check your LHS it may be out
  9. The f100 wasn't done in a week, I've read it took 3-4 months
  10. Eldorod or the F100, nothing else interests me
  11. Modelhaus makes a swamp cooler
  12. Word from LHS, end of next week
  13. I feel really lucky, I have two great hobby shops very close to me, and both are doing really well, ones been open since the 40's, and the other is in a very busy shopping center and is always full of shoppers We did lose a local hobby shops about a year ago, but that was because of bad management, not lack of business
  14. Being realistic, tooling i know still exists AMT Subaru Brat, only issued once, never reissued as something else MPC 70 Bonneville, last reissued 10 years ago by Model King MPC/AMT 83 Chevy 4x4, last seen about 10 years ago, and those issues go for big bucks, shouldve bought more MPC/AMT 72 GMC step side, last seen about 20 years ago, MPC Pinto wagon, last seen around 80 as the Pony Express kit
  15. That's bad, I guess I got really lucky, mine has a perfectly straight body, no issues
  16. Really happy too that we are getting a NASCAR Gen 6 kit. no big deal to me that it's a snap. Aftermarket should be offering some good decals, and it's the right scale 1/24 No surprise too see the 17 Raptor. Nice too see the Olds Pace Car kit. The first issue from about 6 years ago was quickly discontinued.
  17. Putting in an order right now
  18. Is the Model King version due at the same time. I want to use the straight six out of the model king version in the long bed, and turn the short bed version into a "gas monkey" style rat rod truck
  19. The 92 Atlanta car would say "Underbird" on the front valance
  20. Very sad news, I'm about to order some stuff from them, Nice that they have they gave us a 2 year warning. Hopefully someone takes it over, but that hasn't worked well for other resin casters in the past
  21. I feel lucky, i got both the cabrio and gti kits and they have the correct parts
  22. Just like last year, Revell is having a make at take at the Detroit Auto Show, and this year its the all new 2016 Raptor. Revell has pictures on thier Twitter page, it looks good, no chassis detail like the 2015 Mustang. Revell still has the 2014 Raptor kit coming out, its due in March, It will be nice to have both body styles on my shelf
  23. Can this kit be built stock? I remember there were two different kits of this body style Mustang released about 10 years ago, one could be built stock, the other could not
  24. Can't wait for the i8 and the 918. Wouldn't surprise me too see both in a Revell usa box
