Not sure if I'll have time to visit this Saturday, will be in Colorado Springs and Denver that day. It's funny, I lived in Colorado 12 years but didn't know this place existed until after I moved to AZ.

Maybe he was searching with Bing instead of Google..

No. There are several diecast 1/24th ish '98-11 style CVs out there, but nothing in resin or styrene. AFAIK, the '98-11 body only shares the front doors w/ the '92-97 body.

The annual Colorado Concours de Elegance car show at Arapahoe Community College is Sunday June 9th. I'm going this year, gone many times since '99...some friends of mine always show their cars there. Always a lot of fun.. http://cpco.org/concours/about.htm

November on the list I saw (it was missing above due to copy/paste, added it back). This info is out there in multiple places, just google for it...

I'm not expecting Revell to make any changes..it is what it is. I've owned 2 Fox era Mustangs--a GT and an LX, so it's a subject I like and know. I'd been looking forward to this kit for 20+ years, so I'm dissapointed in how it was botched. I have two of the kits, will probably build them eventually. Maybe a reputable resin caster will come out w/ a corrected body.

I do wonder if the Charger will have the hood shown in the illustration (custom hood w/ '70 E-body style shaker scoop). That would be interesting...

Cool...the Montego GT catches my eye more..'72?

No.

Welcome aboard.

It is unfortunate, as I had good luck w/ TMR back in the mid oughts...bought a bunch of parts and some transkits from him then. I'd love to have their '73 Charger SE, but worry I'd never get it...

2013. I saw some months listed (below) on another forum, but it's all subject to change, I'm sure..nothing certain at this point. I'm sure over the next 6 months some or all of these will be released... 1st half 2013 (based on what I've seen elsewhere and on Tower Hobbies) 49 Mercury wagon Sept/Oct 57 Chevy Bel Air conv Sept/Oct 64 Foose Impala July/Aug 67 Chevy Corvette conv 2n1 July/Aug 69 Chevy Camaro ZL1 June/July 67 Foose Charger Aug 77 Pontiac Firebird T/A Smokey & The Bandit June/July 83 Camaro Pro Stock Sept/Oct 99 Ford Expedition June/July 70 Hemi Cuda Nov/Dec 2nd Half 2013 85-4024 1/25 Fireball Roberts' 57 Ford - JULY 85-2501 1/16 Kenworth W-900 Conventional SSP - AUG 85-4183 1/24 Li'l Coffin - AUG 85-6732 1/25 Rat Fink w/Diorama - SEPT 85-1740 Dave Deal's Glitter Bug - AUG 85-1508 1/25 Peterbilt 359 Wrecker Tri-Axle - SEPT 85-4194 1/24 Paddy Wagon w/Figures - SEPT 85-4949 1/25 D&M 62 Corvette Gasser - SEPT 85-4097 1/24 37 Ford Coupe Street Rod - SEPT 85-4098 1/24 Motorcraft T-Bird Pro Stock - SEPT 85-1976 1/24 New Beetle - OCT 85-4025 1/25 69 Shelby GT500 Convertible - OCT 85-4022 1/25 50 Olds Custom - NOV 85-4188 1/24 78 Corvette Indy Pace Car - NOV 85-4192 1/24 60s Beetle Type 1 - NOV 85-4997 1/25 Slingster Dragster - NOV 85-4093 1/24 Cop-Out - AUG 85-4189 1/25 53 Chevy Panel - DEC 85-2811 1/12 Foose 69 Camaro Z-28 - DEC

This kit is of the generation before the 4dr model came out.

Sounds like a project management and quality assurance problem in Revell's design/development process...I run into these kinds of problems everyday in the software biz, but things are much more malleable w/ software and. less costly to fix along the way than w/ projects where there are physical deliverables.

Looking forward to this one..have it on order w/ HLJ. I love '70s Porsche race cars.

Well put...I'm in my early 40s, my high school and college cars were Fox Mustangs ('86 LX and '87 GT), drove them through my 20s..so it's definitely a nostalgia subject for me, and others of my generation. I connect w/ cars of this era in a way I'd never connect w/ something from the 60s or older. Kits like the Monogram Mustangs of the '80s-90s, '80s Monte Carlo SS, FIrebirds, Camaros, Buick GN, those are all models of cars I remember from my youth..the LX notchback has long been a missing link as far as cars of that era, so I'm definitely dissapointed in the new kit. Imagine how the older modelers would react if Revell put out a grossly inaccurate Tri-Five Chevy.

Some people have been waiting 18 months to 2 years or more for parts from them. I'm surprised they still have their website up since they can't deliver.

If they've been designing models that long, it's time for retirement, isn't it? The 50 Olds is a rather old and obscure subject, from long before my time...the '90 Mustang on the other hand, is recent and familiar and a lot of people know these cars and still own them, and can spot the errors...

One of those came today also.

I got the Missing Link resin '72 Olds Cutlass Supreme ht in the mail yesterday and a Revell '90 Mustang LX 5.0 in the mail today.

Maybe they are more lax with vintage subjects than they would be with models of current subjects...who knows. It is what it is..time to move on.

Very well stated...as I've previously said, 'good enough' means accepting mediocrity. As consumers, we shouldn't support companies that put out mediocre products. The problem is, Revell is the only game in town w/ this product, and they've screwed up. Frustrating situation. I'm surprised Ford would have approved the licensing considering how inaccurate the body is.

Nice to see the Tamiya Toyota van reissued, I remember seeing those in the Tamiya catalog from about 1997. Will have to get one this time...
