    Yep! This was a great kit: Also, I really like the 80` Revell funny cars and dragsters, but all of them come with undersized tires that scale out to 30" (should be 36").

    Does anyone know if we will get multiple color scheme options with the decals?

    Looking forward to this one. Very interesting that the builder of the promo car above didn`t address the notorious rocker panel divots. For those unfamiliar with the kit, it has lots of moving parts. The doors open, the t-tops come out, the hatch opens, the headlights open, and it has poseable steering. For me, I build them with everything glued shut.

    There are a few sellers on EBay now willing to ship to the states for a reasonable amount. ??

    Got mine as well. Very excited to have a mint one of these to build now. Jfyi, the bird is different colors in this one compared to the ‘87 release of this kit. It not has more blueish/grayish feathers, where as it used to be brown/tan and gold.

    For those looking, a few showed up on eBay today with shipping to the US.

    Thanks nightowl. I find it really interesting that they are only releasing this in Europe, while it is a very iconic car (and kit!) in the states.
  8. Hawk312
    Anyone have any luck getting one in the states yet?

    X2. Joe Dirt would be awesome. Although his car had the turbo wheels, so it wouldn’t be totally accurate. Do we get the bird in multiple colors?

    This subject was not even on my radar, but that is cool!! It looks like the wheels are brand new, and not just recasts of the ‘70 kit, which I always thought were just a little big and a lot shallow. Maybe this kit’s wheels will look good on the old kits?
  11. Hawk312
    I was never a big fan of the kit itself, but in my opinion the wheels are much more accurate for the late 70s/early 80s funny car kits from Revell than what comes in those kits.

    To my knowledge, this is the only Firehawk kit we have to choose from. It was decent, lots of nice detail. Unfortunately the wheel and tires are just a little off proportionately. If I ever get time, maybe I will try to print and cast some wheels and tires that are perfect proportionately. I also wish Revell or AMT would convert one of their f-body kits to a Firehawk.

    Anyone seeing or hearing about the big ‘79 Trans Am kit? It was supposed to be April/May 2022.
  14. Hawk312
    Maybe I missed it, but did you guys see this:
  15. Hawk312
    Bumping for any updates. I am seeing May as the release date some places, others as far away as December.
  16. Hawk312
    I wonder if the big 1/8 Firebird Trans Am kit will be released in the US eventually.
  17. Hawk312
    Goodbye savings. Great to see the ‘85 back and *finally* we have a ‘80-‘81 Camaro! Nice to see the ‘32 roadster too. I also like the retro looking box art.

    The GTA and Iroc build up nice, but several issues to be aware of along with what 1972 mentioned above. The Iroc comes with Camarillo front seats and firebird back seats molded into the interior pan. The tires on both kits have the lettering molded in upside down. The Firebird rear bumper is pre- ‘85, as in 85 they made the vertical part of the bumper smooth/flat. The dials on the dash of the GTA and also the door panels are 86 and older. And IIRC, I had to switch the accessories on the fan belt from one side to the other. That said, I loved both kits, and the finished model looks good. The box art had excellent reference photos.

    Wait!!! So this year, not only does the ‘67 vette coupe come back, then the 1/8 Trans am (!!!!!), and now the 1/16 GTA and possibly the 1/16 Iroc??!! And the ‘81 Z28 with all those color options??! I gotta let the wife no now.... no savings left for our account in 2022! This going to be knock out year for Revell. If the world doesn’t blow up first.

    Just posting some inspiration. Also, where are you guys seeing this available for pre-order, and do we have any on shipping costs?
  21. Hawk312
    Have any of you had trouble with storing your kits in really hot weather? Here in SC, it is pretty much 90-105 with high humidity every day from late April to early November. We are moving to a new place where it seems the only place for my kit collection is either an uninsulated work shed or garage. They wouldn’t be in sunlight or anything, but I expect it to get hot. I have kits from late 70’s to current. I know some tires can melt and cause problems if they are touching plastic. Anyone have any real issues when doing this?
  22. Hawk312
    Does anyone have an idea what it will cost for shipping to the US for the big 1/8 kit?
  23. Hawk312
    Thanks Casey! I think I may have found it here: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10866084 Looks like the picture you posted above. I wonder what shipping will be to the states? I can`t wait! I am actually still kind of shocked they are doing it. I have been hoping for this for probably close to 20 years.
  24. Hawk312
    Nice! Where are you seeing this Casey?
  25. Hawk312
    Looks great! I really like that interior. Very convincing!
