I'd rather the model companies stick to photos of the completed kit on the box art rather than inaccurate illustrations or photos of real cars (which inevitably seem to have equipment not seen on the kit).

Here's a couple sweet crew cabs..love the 4dr variations...hopefully someone will tool up this body.

The retro box art on the '69 Hurst/Olds is pretty cool. The '71 Chevy van in retro 'Rescue Van' box art looks interesting..wonder if they are including the extra parts that original issue had. Looks like they are reissuing the '57 Ford in vintage box art also.

IIRC, Monogram did only Snap Tites of 3rd gen Camaros in 1:24th, while their Firebirds of that era were full-detail. There was also another Snap Tite issue of an '82 before the S&S version, also in red on the box art? I've never had any of the Monogram 3rd gen Camaros, but have all the MPC/AMT ones in my stash...may have to pick up the reissue.

True, but who knows..maybe they are including some extras for differentiation. Since they haven't shown a tooling mockup, it's all just random speculation at this point...

What originals? This Dodge was never kitted back in the day.

I don't think Revell has shown a tooling mock up of this kit yet...though someone on one of the forums said it might have a 'batwing' air cleaner ---not sure what this is, looks like it has two filter elements?

Never used a chain saw..don't think I'd trust myself w/ most power tools, since I've stabbed myself in the hand with a screwdriver and cut my thumb badly w/ an x-acto knife.

Check the laws in your jurisdiction. Don't rely on the TV.

Rust belt salt corrosion took the bottom of the cab..

Sharp build of an uncommon kit.

Sharp build...I love offbeat replica stock builds like this.

Yeah, who knows...it may end up like last fall's new tool announcements---nothing shows up until the 4th quarter. I just marked 'em as '2013' on my to-purchase spreadsheet, they will show up whenever they show up...

Definitely looks like an '85, missing the nose badge, though. '85 is when they rounded off the lower fascia, IIRC..'82-84 was more sharp-edged.

If this kit sells well, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't do a AAR as a followup.

Beautiful car...love the color.

I don't get it either--a Chevy motor in a Ford is soo wrong. But the execution and paint is very well done.

Is the Revell new release brochure available in PDF anywhere? I have the PDFs from the last few years.

Noooo...Chevy engine in a Mopie is soo wrooooong.. For a Pro Touring build, I'm leaning towards using the 6.1 Hemi from the Magnum SRT or the Challenger SRT.

LoL...hopefully this will be in a normal box and not the silly oversized box like the '76 was in.

There isn't anything saying they are diecast either, though. And would they list diecast kits in with the styrene? A bit strange..either way, those two are going to be interesting...I don't have the original issues of them.

I have an iPad for work, but am thinking about getting a Kindle Fire HD for personal use.

Keep in mind that is the hood shown on the Pro Touring style version. It may represent a custom design, meant to resemble a stock hood but not quite stock...or as others said, this is the prototype tooling, not the finished product.

Saw that...no biggie, the AMT '49 Merc is easy enough to source an engine from.

Very cool...love those old trucks.
