Huh? It's the AMT '83 Camaro...no way would Round 2 be reissuing a Revell kit...was reissued around 15 years ago with a red car on the box. The original issue also had a red car on the box.

I can't believe I spent 9 years there...I enjoyed some aspects of living there, but glad it's in my past now..

I'd love to see more of them...Firebird Formulas, Chevelle SS and Laguna, '73-75 Grand Am, '77 Can Am, '73 Buick Gran Sport, etc...I like that era of GM cars...

Mine was like that, luckily nothing bent. They should have had a cardboard support wedged under the windshield frame (as I've seen with other convertible kits) or removable molded-in ones on the sides..

Feels like fall here in Cleveland now..59 degrees this morning...loving it compared to what I dealt with in Phoenix.

Looks nice..looks better than the Trumpeter kit. There are many interesting subjects available only in die cast that haven't been available in kits and never will be available in kits. I recently got the early 60s Econoline pickup and van in 1/25th from First Gear and Norscot's '14 Silverado and '15 Tahoe, all nicely done with reasonable detail.

Mine came unscathed as far as the windshield frame.

It sounds like a car I saw on 7th Ave going north between Camelback and Missouri a couple months ago...

I may do that eventually...I had started kit bashing an AAR with a Monogram '71 Cuda about 20 years ago, never finished it...

Both Revell AAR Cudas had serious body issues...the original AAR kit (green car on box) had a roofline that looked chopped--the side windows were too short and oddly shaped...the retool (yellow car on box) had a differently weird roof--the C-pillar wasn't thick enough and the rear deck looked too long..

I think I've seen that car in Phoenix...can't be many around in that color combo.

Saw a really clean bright red w/ woodgrain '72 Caprice Estate wagon for sale in a driveway a couple days ago.

There is Mr. Norm's '68 Dart GSS 440, which Revell kitted.

In my experience in building web applications, there are many potential causes for slowness...web server configuration, available RAM, database connections, etc...the root cause of such performance issues can be tricky to track down.

They did. No one is buying their tooling AFAIK, or at least nothing has been announced.

the BIN price reflects the 'pro-built' status.

I got this weird error I hadn't seen before in Safari. I had added a reply to a thread, then maybe 5 min later went back to edit it...get the error below trying to save the edit. If I refresh the page, my original comment is still there, so it hasn't been moved or deleted.

Went in my local Ollies (Cleveland) last weekend..only had Lindberg airplanes and ships..

Such a promotion would probably work well for Revell, since probably 90% of their customer base is eligible for AARP...though probably true w/ Round 2 and Moebius also...

I don't know how much similarity the chassis or interior would have, but the Olds 88 had a wheelbase 6.5 inches shorter than the Cadillac...

The '48-49 Cadillac wasn't available with a roofline like the Olds 88 coupe. However, the AMT '51 Bel Air ht roof is similar to a Coupe de Ville, and the '51 Chevy Fleetline fastback roofline is similar to a '48-49 Cadillac Club Coupe sedanette...

could be a starting point. I'm thinking about grafting a 51 Bel Air ht roof on to make a custom Coupe de Ville.

I use my cell in the car only in hands-free mode, paired via Bluetooth to the car.. I have seen laptop desks advertised that attach to the steering wheel, so you can use your laptop while driving...seems dangerous. I saw someone once using their laptop while driving and eating breakfast in traffic...they were drifting in and out of their lane.

For the win. Best post on here today. Sadly, the hobby is full of luddites.

With the recessed grille and the round headlights, it looks like a '73-75.
