This whole thing is a new tool, Bill. Totally separate from the Pro Modeler '69/'68 derivatives.

A decal would be ideal, but long as they have an engraved Charger logo, I'm just about as good with foil and paint.

Yup. NNL West '16, Mr Sexton was just fine with the display models being handled. Those weren't painted, but I'd wager that this year as in '16, he presumed we wouldn't be tossing them about like footballs and spiking them in the end zone. Thanks again for the shots, James & Frank!

THANK YOU BLU! Awesome. That shot lays all the lingering questions to rest.

Your English is better than my Italian! Very nice.

Yup! Got one. Looks very nice...

OH - it just occurred to me that I may have come across as if I were asking you to SHOOT all that stuff! Nonononono. That was a commentary on how I hope Revell finishes the kit. Seriously, thanks for sorting out everything that you did!

But... but... I don't understand! (for best effect, try imagining that phrase all breathless and gaspy) If you're not a REEEEEEEAAAALL MODELER unless you take The Kit That Must Not Be Named with a glad scat-eating little grin and just do all the hacking necessary to get the roof at the right height, then shouldn't that same REEEEEEEAAAALL MODELER be able to affect all these changes from the old F100 kit?? . . Yeah, I know. Gets to a point where even I have to admit I'm just being difficult.

Thanks again, Gerry! Speculated that might be the case in the F&F Charger thread 'cause the valve covers aren't chromed. If we just get the R/T rear fascia - and maybe the black HEMI swatches as an option for the hood pretty please? - we should be sittin' pretty. Particularly in light of the full set of Rallyes in the Sox & Martin 'Cuda.

Hope not - supposed to be a full-width taillight on that R/T, and the F&F trees looked grouped in such a way to accommodate new ones for taillights.

Thanks, Gerry! Did they verify a Hemi, or would you be able to?

HHHHHHAH! I see whatcha did there...

Wow, REALLY? Okay then. We're getting different answers on the wheels, but I think I'd just like the Rallyes on the Charger better anyway. Did Hemi 'Cudas come with the Magnum road wheels?

Who, me? I already answered that. Twice. And it's got little to do with the point I'm making 'cause I buy just about any new automotive tooling from Revell.

Yes, the Grand Master IS what I'm talkin' about, but lookie here - there's no denying the new Foose pickup will be leagues ahead of its forebear in design and builder-friendliness. Now that Revell has finally broken out some LIDAR on these (if they hadn't already on the C7 'Vettes), this kit's a lead-pipe cinch to represent its subject far more accurately than the old F100 does its. That Foose's truck is some sweet eye candy was never even questioned in the first place, and now that some of its more desirable features have been enumerated, I begin to understand the rationale a little better. But a little F T F Y is still in order: "Along (what're truly) the same lines of thinking: IS IT ANY WONDER they bring out the Charger? Revell offers several all-new Foose vehicles for modelers to choose, yet they pick one of the two in seven with antecedents in kits already produced. If that's all their customers want, why wouldn't Revell keep generating new tools of previously kitted subjects?" The F100 hasn't exactly been the part of this exercise to discredit that practice. Not really the sort of thing to encourage, say, a '51 Merc over a '49, by way of f'rinstance.

Based on the F&F version, I'd near-as-guarantee you they'll be separate. They'd have had to tool new side inserts for the body mold to integrate the scoops. And yup, you're articulating just what I've noticed. I'm betting there would have been big black HEMI splashes on the hood too.

But is chopped instead. Yeah, alright.

Well hey, the Eldorod was my big horse in the race, something we hadn't already seen a million of. So my goat's good and toasty.

If you wouldn't mind reading the post again, Del, I didn't say I wondered why Revell brought it out - this is the company that brought out an almost entirely retooled '13 Boss Mustang just a few years after a very similar 2010. They just tend to do that sometimes. What I wondered was why the F100 got voted in by modelers when there were other more novel Foose subjects on the menu. But like I said, I'll take it. Whatever floats everybody's boat floats mine enough as well.

Re Caddy: LOVE it. Re F100: bit mystified that it'd get votes when there's already been a similar truck in the range, but I'll take it. Re Charger: pretty solid-looking R/T that seems less and less like a Hemi the more of it we see...

Oh, I'm suure Hasegawa will go sobbing and wailing about their unexciting new BMW... all the way to the bank.

Of COURSE. 'Cause there's never been a 635 done competently in 1/24 scale before. By the usual Japanese suspects or even in a Revell/Monogram box. Yup, some fine 934 RSR logic right there...

Preorder's parked in my Private Warehouse...

Yup, sure. ANY of the early CS coupes. The 2002 is the most exciting Hasegawa release since the 250 Testa Rossa, far as I'm concerned.

^This right here.^ LED boomerangs were the biggest problems I had with the two I did.
