What's a 'DoAllSer' ? Revell's lead times for new kits is absurd, esp. considering how fast Fujimi and Aoshima are able bring new models to market. I can understand if it is the corporate access, because Revell used to be able to bring new subjects to market in a timely manner--IIRC, the '97 Ford F-series kits, '99 Mustang Cobra, '99 Silverado all came to market in reasonable times, as did the '05 Mustang, Corvette, etc. Yet more recent subjects like the '10 Mustang GT and Shelby came out two years late. It's a non-issue for 40-70 year old subjects, but for current subjects it matters to be timely. DIecast companies release new subjects in a timely manner...

True..there are still plenty of 32 Ford and 57 Chevy variations for them to do....

I suspect Round 2/AMT will have a curbside by 2015....Revell is so slow on new stuff they probably will get one out in 2017 after the 6th gen is out a year..

It's a nice MCE that will do until the 6th gen on Alpha comes out in a few years. I like the tail lights, kind of a '69 styling cue w/ the 3 elements. Nice to see the Z/28 name return.

I remember saving up my Golden Wheels tokens off MPC boxes as a kid in the '80s..I sent them in, wanted the 'Velvet Vette' '57 Corvette, but they sent me the '57 Corvette Gasser flip-front kit..

What does RR have to do with the Modelhaus? Post #41 refers to Don Holthaus..

I've never had a problem w/ the Modelhaus. One of the best in the business, IMO.

Sweet,,,

I've got about 100 or so I've accumulated over the years...mostly mint but some worn. I started off in the '80s with the MPC '80s Camaros and Corvettes, but have a lot of '60s Fords and some Johan Cadillacs. I have the MPC '71-76 full size cars, probably the most I paid for a promo was the '71 Impala convertible. Not much in the way of Mopars.

Yes, I enjoyed DKR..saw it on the big IMAX screen. Have the Blu Ray now, watched it again recently. Anyway, looking forward to this kit...haven't bought the Bat Pod yet.

Isn't the engine in the Revell '70 Mach 1 a 351C? It's 1/24th though.

Sharp build. Did the Jo-han S&M kit include that hood w/ the 6 pack scoop or did you add the scoop? Thinking of building something similar...

Very cool...very clever and different.

Canada..probably a delay in border crossing for magazines.

Probably something like that. It looks like Learning Curve is now owned by Tomy.

Yes...Racing Champions evolved into RC2 then Learning Curve or something like that (through aquisitions, etc). Round 2 is called that I presume because 'Round 1' for Tom Lowe was Playing Mantis.

I have read that Round 2 is really big on pursuing pop-culture licenses and tie-ins, considering all the Star Trek and Batman merch, in addition to Pepsi, etc. Agreed new tooling would be great to see, in the short term it seems for car kits it's limited to the curbside unassembled promos...I'm looking forward to the Camaro ZL1 that is upcoming. Anyway, I've been enjoying many of the reissues so far and am looking forward to many of the upcoming ones, esp. the '69 Chevelle conv and '71 Demon.

That's a reissue of the stock version that had a light blue car on the box. They changed the box art car color with the reissue.

Feb/March issue, looks good at first read thru..it's the annual contest issue.

Tim's was gray? IIRC the box top kit was gray or silver. I have 4 of these kits, but they are in storage and I haven't seen them in years.

I hadn't heard anything about a reissue...MK issued this back around 2006-2007.

Pretty cool...and reasonably priced, all things considered. Look at the price of multimedia kits from Studio 27, for instance.

Yep, '67-72 is the fifth gen (which some call a 'bumpside'), '73-79 is the sixth gen, which some call a ( 'dentside' or 'grooveside'). The two generations have some dirty bits in common, but the body and interior are different. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_F-Series_fifth_generation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_F-Series_sixth_generation

These look good from the early pics. Looking forward to seeing the final product later this year.

Completely different body and interior. These are the '67-72 generation. For a '78, I'd use the AMT '78-79 which was last out as a Model King issue maybe 5-7 years ago.
