Neat box art. I keep hoping they follow up the Cayman kit with the new '09 911... it's been a long time since a new 911 kit has been issued.

That's going to be very cool...I have a couple extra Magnum kits that I've taken the engines, seats, etc from to do a Pro-Touring style '68 Charger and '70 Challenger..... I've thought of the 300C front end or maybe a Charger SRT8 front end on one of the Magnum bodies. And a Dodge & Nissan hookup isn't that outrageous, since next gen Nissan Frontier is going to be a badge-engineered Dodge Ram from what I've read, and Dodge may get a version of the Nissan Versa..

They had a lot of big pointy things in the woods in Colorado also... mountain lions and elk. I stayed out of the woods, but drove my Jeep on a lot of back country trails..

I have the Modelhaus conversion parts (hood, bench seat) from several years ago, so I really don't need another kit..but if they provide the stock hood and hubcaps and maybe the seat, I'd be happy...I can source a 289 from other kits. Strangely, as far as Fairlanes go, I have all the AMT Fairlane kits ('62-67, and the '68-71 Torinos) except for the '64 HT. Got to find one of those.

The AMT '39 Chevy custom sedan delivery from a few years ago?

Nice to see the old box art..I have a couple of the AMTs, but none of the MPC ones. Looking forward to the new Revell kits.

Yep, they definitely have the '62 Galaxie hood...I picked up a couple hoods and chrome (bumpers, etc) for my rough '62s...I've got 2 convertibles and 1 ht in my stash. I want to get the MCW resin '62 Galaxie 2dr sedan also.

Hmm..those '06 and '07 GT-H wheels look the same to me, except the '07s have the spokes painted black. IIRC, the '06 GT-Hs were coupes, the '07 were convertibles only, and the '08 Shelby GT is a consumer (not Hertz) model...coupe and convertible. The Shelby GT hood looks like a stock GT hood but with a scoop attached (looks like the same scoop that's an option on the regular GT). I have a resin hood that I got somewhere that is a stock Mustang GT hood with a scoop, similar to the Shelby GT hood, I think. I'm planning on getting a couple extra Shelby GT500 and Shelby GT kits, I want to do convertibles also. With the heavily restyled '10 Mustang coming in about 6-8 months, I hope Revell tools up the '10 and has it out by next summer....and the production '10 Camaro.

Yes..it's up on the Modelhaus site now..'72 LTD Brougham 2dr. I definitely want to get one.

I think those were cancelled...again.

Speaking of MK IIIs, Johnny Lightning came out with a nice little 1:64th diecast one this year, first time I've ever seen one in diecast. I have a tiny Lindberg plastic kit of one from back in the day. The MK III seems like a natural for The Modelhaus, they have been getting into '70s Fords lately with the '70 Country Squire & Country Sedan wagons and '72 LTD ht....I need to get all of those. Maybe Paul Hettick (whom I believe mastered the '72 LTD) will do one eventually... The '50s cars don't interest me that much, but late '60s through mid '70s big cars are a favorite genre of mine...being a child of the '70s, I remember seeing those cars around all the time.

I'd be surprised if you could find any rental car in the US with a manual...Americans by and large don't/can't drive sticks.

Sharp..I have to get around to building my '68 and '69 El Camino kits eventually.

Yes, that I would like.. I started converting a couple of the '06 kits to convertibles, haven't finished them. I'd like to do GT500 and GT-H convertibles eventually also.

Very cool..I love those old MPC van kits...I have a bunch in my to-build stash.

Wow...I have seen a car like that in real life...a buddy in high school in the mid '80s had one, a '73 or '74, same color, 360 IIRC, white interior, Cragars. It was a bit rusty and paint faded from the S. Florida sun. Saw him at the 20th reunion last month, he has a couple Dodge diesel trucks and a wild '75 Dart Sport w/ a 440 now.

The GT-H used 17" Mustang GT optional wheels, so they should be the same size as the 17" base GT wheels in the '06 kit.

That Vette is going to be sharp. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I ordered the Shelbys from Evers Toy Store yesterday, hope to have them by the end of the week. Looking forward to the KR and Bullitt versions.

Yes, saw it, was there in person this year. Wow. What a car, what a show...incredible selection of cars this year...

Along with the ZR1, I'd like to see the new CTS-v, G8 GXP, and Solstice GXP tooled up...plenty of new Mustang kits out and coming, lots of modern Mopars, but not much of current GM subjects out there.

They are a lot of fun... I've had my 30gb for about 3 years, but have filled it up, over 6000 songs and about 100 or so podcasts at a time. I enjoy the podcasts, as there are a lot of free goodies out there, automotive news from Autoblog, tons of tech related content from CNET and ZDNET, along w/ regular news podcasts from CNN and the BBC.. I need a higher capacity model. I have about 500 CDs in my 20+ year collection, and have burned about 75% of 'em onto my laptop and then on to the iPod. One thing you have to be careful about is synching between computers and backing up your collection...it's easy to wipe out everything if you do it wrong.

I've seen the box art for the Revell AG one on ebay, but have yet to see the US Revell box art...there was a strange B&W pic (B&W ad in 2008?) in the current SA for a KR, but I assumed that is a separate release from the GT500 and GT-H issues...

Maybe one of the Revell 4th gen Camaro or Firebird kits?

Cool...looking forward to all of these. Hopefully, my usual online vendor will have the Shelbys listed soon.
