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.

Ah-hah...so that is the source of that quote...I've heard my buddy Steve say it for about 10 years now, never knew the source.

The '68 AMT annuals and '71 MPC annuals (like the GTX, with real car artwork) are some of my favorites...as far as recent, I've been a fan of Fujimi's minimalist box art on Ferrari kits...

I've never thrown any kit boxes out...I keep the box to store the kit in when it's built. I keep everything...

Interesting...so the price has gone up. I got my Tamiya GT-R from HLJ in June, it was about $45 with shipping, IIRC.

That's cool...aren't they planning on releasing a box (cargo) trailer of some sort also?

The 2002 would be a great kit subject. It would have fit nicely into Tamiya's vintage kit series. I'd love to see some vintage Mercs also in 1:24, like a 'pagoda roof' W113 SL, a '60s 300SEL 6.3 (or one of the related coupes or convertibles), or a late '70s 450SEL 6.9.

Yes, I'd love to see more of the neat 'disco era' personal luxury coupes...remember them quite well from my childhood in the '70s. Revell did a nice job with their Monte Carlo,would have liked to have seen more from that era kitted, like the Grand Am, Grand Prix Can Am, '73 Chevelle SS, Laguna, '76-77 Cutlass Supreme & 442, ;73 Buick Gran Sport, etc..

Yes, forgot about the Chevelle...UPS delivered the Chevelle & 2 of the Novas to me tonight... I'm lovin' the Nova...great detail...the Chevelle is a nice update to an oldie also.

Looking good... I wouldn't be surprised if Revell didn't do a BM Nova as a varation on the new kit, after all, they did BM Corvette and Camaro kits..

Unfortunately, there are no models of the Prius, so we couldn't do the car that is a status symbol on the left...I have a lot of friends that drive them. I'd love to see a full-detail kit of the Prius, it would be fun to use the hybrid powertrain in rods for something different.

Another example is AMT's recent '62 Thunderbird--the 1:1 they used had an aftermarket rubstrip on the sides, IIRC..

Yes!!! I remember seeing a big (1:18th or so) metal Nylint (or Tonka?) toy Winnebago of this style at toy shows in the past. I grew up in an RVing family, we had 4 of 'em over about 15 years, and went camping and drove cross country several times, first with a 22 foot Mobile Traveler Class C (Dodge Sportsman van cab), later a Pace Arrow 25 foot Class A, later a Southwind 28 foot Class A, finally, a Winnebago Chieftain 33 foot Class A. Fun times.

I've seen them on '69 Camaros, but not '70 1/2s.. the 1/25th ones in the AMT '69 Chevelle kit would be ok for the Revell '69 Nova or Camaro, I think.

IIRC, I read somewhere that the Otis Chandler car is the only known, documented '70 B-M Chevelle...kind of a 1 of 1 apparently. Too bad they didn't include the Cragars as an option, since ironically, IIRC, the yellow 'Custom Malibu' version of the Monogram 1:24th Chevelle from the early '80s had Cragars (and sidepipes)..

I hear ya... I'm going to my 20th HS reunion in 2 weeks...should be interesting..I'm about 60lbs heavier than then and shave my head now.. I can't fit in my old U2, Van Halen and Def Leppard t-shirts from then.. But I still have my car from high school--my '87 Mustang GT...only has 63k miles and still has the original paint and looks great. I even toyed w/ the idea of driving it to my reunion, but the car is in Ohio, the reunion in S. Florida, and I live in Phoenix now...

Turned 38 a week ago today. I can't believe I'll be 40 in less than 2 years...I just don't feel that old.
