  1. Similar headlights, but the proportions are completely different...in profile, it's basically the G8 with a new nose and tail.
  2. Nope...this is a serious RWD car w/ a V8...the Malibu is a FWD 4cyl rental car.
  3. The Chevy SS is coming..basically an updated G8.
  4. Those are neat...IIRC, 15 inch Eagle GTs are what my 1:1 '87 Mustang GT had back in the day.
  5. Neat...I wouldn't mind one to go w/ the Tamiya and Revell 2CVs......I'd love to see 1:24th kits or diecast of the SM and DS.
  6. I doubt it..GM has sold many non-NA built models here before and will continue to (the Aveo, Catera, '04-06 GTO, G8, the current Regal (first year of them were built in Germany), the upcoming Chevy SS. etc). Probably more of a marketing decision...didn't want it eating into Impala sales.
  7. The Panamerica race car appears to be a 2dr sedan, while the Revell kit is a 2dr coupe (shorter roof, smaller quarter windows). So it doesn't build out of the box as a replica of the actual race car.
  8. It's similar to what Moebius has done with the race versions of the Hudsons, but as a 2n1 instead of separate kits..
  9. The Caprice PPV has been around for a year or so..I've seen a few around. It's a variation of the long wheelbase Holden Caprice/Statesman, different roofline and rear 3/4 styling than the short wheelbase G8/Commodore The Commodore will be coming back to NA in updated form next year as the Chevy SS.
  10. Ah..I never see the right side content because I usually only navigate via 'View New Content'....don't see the right side in that view.
  11. I don't get it either, but maybe he only has one outlet.
  12. Wierd...I'm not seeing any ads.
  13. It's an opportunity to learn...
  14. IE 7 is a bit obsolete...you might want to upgrade to IE9 or Chrome. Lots of sites are not compatible w/ IE 7.
  15. Hershel McGriff's 1950 Carerra Pan American Road Race winner...so Revell is getting on the vintage race car bandwagon. The replica in the pics at the link is a 2dr sedan, though. Haven't seen any pics of the original race car (probably some grainy B&W pics out there somewhere). http://www.conceptca...smobile-88.aspx
  16. About a year before I was born...my brother was at Ohio State then, he wanted to go, but his Mustang got stolen.
  17. I would think it would be better to use Fed Ex or other when shipping to/from Canada instead of regular mail. I've never had problems w/ Fed Ex from other countries.
  18. I read the question as largest scale. 1/8th seems to be the largest for car kits. Though there have been larger scale motorcycle and engine kits, I think.
  19. Dining room table at the family house in Ohio until I was 12...then I split time building in my bedroom in our Florida house during the school year and my bedroom in the Ohio house during the summers. My folks eventually had an heated/air conditioned outbuilding constructed, about 800sq ft and I'd build there during summers and later when I'd visit from college. I still have a bunch of models and diecast there that I need to move out.
  20. Neat...looks like a Challenger done up as a phantom DTM car... lots of scratchbuilding, thought parts from the recent Revell of Germany Audi or Mercedes C-class DTM race cars could perhaps be modified...
  21. Well, those are 'new' in the sense they are new releases, not in the catalog for a while. As opposed to something called 'All-New'... In their advertising, they probably avoid using 'reissue' and 're-release' as the general public couldn't understand such terms.
  22. They did..that's where I got my MM conversion.
  23. This one? Never heard of the Toho brand.
