I'd probably get another one...though I have 4 of the original issue, 2 of the '80s reissue, the original '71 GTX and the '72 RR in my stash. One of the '80s ones I'm planning on kitbashing w/ the modern-tool AMT '71 Charger for the chassis, engine compartment, etc. I love the '60s-70s MPC Mopies.

LoL...I spent my college years in the Cleveland area...it's cleaned up quite a bit since then (late '80s-early '90s). Spent a lot of Friday-Saturday nights in 'The Flats' area back in the day. Anyway, as far as Revell, we just have to wait and see what they announce and how they announce it.

I guess they don't want to incur the travel expenses of going to Cleveland..

There are a few shows on Velocity I like, among them Wayne Carini's 'Chasing Classic Cars' and the British 'Wheeler Dealers'. There was another reality type show I tried to watch on one of the channels...Graveyard something...it had a bunch of cool Mopars, but the actors were so moronic I couldn't watch more than 15 min.

I wish they would get rid of the dumb 'reality' shows and show more racing...DTM, WTCC, WRC, V8 Supercars, etc...they've shown a little bit of these series but it seems less this year than last year...

I think they are more likely to have rats and other vermin living inside their rusty shells..

Yes..my understanding is that the LTD 4dr ht was made first (from the promo tooling), then it's tooling was revised to make the Galaxie 4dr sedan and they inexplicably used a Boss 429 engine (as they did w/ the '70 Torino Cobra annual, which was available in the MCS series and as a full detail kit). I have a couple of the LTDs in my stash, neat kit.

Looks like it was in a 'racing incident'... build it like it is and simulate some mud and grass on the roof like it rolled..

Beautiful...clean build.

Well, his Rat Roaster was announced at iHobby last year...coming late this year, I think. Looking at SD's project page, there are a bunch of neat subjects that could make great kit subjects, IMO-- http://staceydavid.com/projects

Yeah, there has been a lot of rumor about that one...I'll believe it when I see it officially announced.

Forgot about the Audi wagon...since they don't sell it in the US.

Wheels and tires look ok to me, esp. like the wheels. The aftermarket steering wheel and aftermarket gauges look tacky to me, though...along with whatever that is under the dash in the center.

I do wonder if there are licensing issues w/ BMW..there hasn't been a new BMW kit in over a decade since Revell's Z8. I'm really surprised Revell AG hasn't done some current BMW kits, and I would think they would sell well in the US as Revell reboxes given the brand's popularity in the US. As far as kits I'd like to see from Revell US, specific kits I'd like to see-- new tools (and a couple that would be modified reissues): '12 or '13 Mustang Boss 302 (2n1 with Laguna Seca version) '12 or '13 Mustang Shelby GT500 '13 Ford Raptor '13 Chevy Camaro ZL1 '13 Chevy SS Chevy Caprice PPV (with police car parts) '13 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 '13 Dodge Charger R/T '13 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 '13 Chrysler 300 SRT8 As far as old subjects, I'd like to see subjects that have never been kitted before-- '68-69 Mercury Cyclone GT '69-70 Mercury Marauder X100 '70-71 Plymouth Sport Fury GT '74 Dodge Monaco (Blues Brothers) '85-86 Mustang LX 5.0 coupe or '87-93 LX 5.0 coupe From Revell AG: (all 2012-2013) Audi A5 or S5 coupe Audi A7 or S7 BMW M3 BMW M5 Porsche 911S Porsche 911 GTS Porsche Boxster S

Wasn't expecting much...typical Revell 'California Wheels'/Motor City Muscle' style release w/ the Foose name attached instead.

One feature I do miss is my local grocery used to unload your cart and put the on the checkout line for you, was convenient when you had a lot of content. They don't do that anymore, since they remodeled a while back...

Good list. We definitely need more modern cars, from the current decade and maybe the last 30-40 years... I'd add the 2013 Mustang Boss 302 and Shelby GT500 to that list.

I like self-checkout...use it at the groceries whenever possible. One pet-peeve I hate when waiting in line at a normal checkout is being stuck behind someone paying with a check..as if it were still the 20th century.

GM has the Vivaro for it's Opel and Vauxhall brands...based on the Renault Traffic. Replacing the ancient Econoline with the global Transit model has been in the works for some time, part of Ford's 'One Ford' initiative.

Hard to tell, but the Revell 2n1 'California Wheels' and 'Motor City Muscle' kits usually have separate disc brakes...I assume the Foose kits will follow the same approach.

Here is another pic Revell is showing, of a built up kit..

It will be interesting to see what happens... I follow both series today..the TV coverage could stand to improve. I'd like to go to one of the big 12- or 24- events, but need to train to get in shape for it...going to 2-3 hour races is exhausting enough. I try and follow Nationwide, NASCAR, F1, Indy Car, Grand Am, and ALMS....I've loosely followed V8 Supercars, WRC, DTM and World Tour Cars but the US TV coverage is nonexistent or very weak for those series.. I've managed to go to 4 races so far this year (NASCAR here in Phoenix, Indy Car at Long Beach, Indianapolis, and Sonoma) and have 2 more to go this year (Indy Car at Fontana, NASCAR at Phoenix again). I hope to get in F1, and a Grand Am or ALMS race next year.

I think I have Michaels and Hobby Lobby stores around, but since I have good hobby shops and also shop online I haven't had a reason to go in one..

Beautiful build...the photography is great also, looks like a real car..

Been away on vacation over the last week, but did get a few neat oldies off eBay...Johan '71 Maverick Grabber Pro Stock (built, restorable), mostly unbuilt Johan '67 Cadillac Coupe de Ville (I had a convertible already, been looking for a coupe for a while), and an Italeri Ferrari 275 GTB (I had the Spyder, been looking for the coupe for probably 20 years).
