Just a stylized image, I'd assume its the same old, same old..

They look like gorgeous kits and builds. I've never had any of the Jo-han classics, but have built some of the Monogram ones years ago.

My Cadillac has the LED projector bulb lights and LED light strips that function as turn signals and cornering lamps. They have auto on and auto high beam on/off settings which work pretty well. They are definitely brighter and throw further than the older Halogen bulbs on my Jeep.

Saw a clean maroon Lincoln Mark III and a maroon ‘67 Chevy Impala convertible with a white top when out and about on this beautiful early fall Sunday.

That engine stand looks similar to the one in the ‘40 Ford kit.

Yes, fuel economy and efficiency. I’ve seen almost 30mpg highway in my Cadillac with the 10 spd auto and 3.6 v6…not bad for a 4100lb AWD luxury sedan.

About $3.05 for regular unleaded in my area in NE Ohio.

Hmmm...the only one I can recall that came with a cowl hood is an obscure AMT custom dually snap kit that's never been reissued in the custom form...

The OP asked for Revell, so the '99 is the one..

I've been good about dealer service and recalls on mine. So far, no issues...I have a '14 GC 3.6 w/ 81k miles.

Sounds like maybe the Revell '99 Silverado..most recently reissued in 2023. It's the only extended cab Silverado kit I know of (released in stock versions and modified versions). It doesn't have a cowl hood, but I've seen resin ones on eBay.

My Cadillac has the 10spd automatic, very smooth. There is a recall for it, will be taking it in for an oil change soon and get the fix (which appears to be a software only fix). My Jeep has the ZF 8spd auto, also very smooth.

That kit has some proportion issues with the roof and rear quarters. I recall lots of discussion here when it was first released 20+ years ago.

Was in my favorite lake/beach towns yesterday and saw this very clean ‘57 Chevy 4dr..green with white roof, color keyed wheels and dog dish caps. Alas, it turned before I could snap a pic.

47F this morning when I rolled out the trash bins. Feeling like fall..a little chilly for shorts and flip flops. Went to a couple local beaches yesterday, 65 and sunny but breezy.
