I'm sure it will be out when it is out.

That's what I'd assume... Tower Hobbies has them for pre-order for $76.99... around the same price Model Roundup has an Italeri Superliner listed for.

These are reboxed Italeri kits, probably will be around $75 like the previous ones. Same price range that Italeri truck kits go for in the US.

Just unusual looking compared to adding a rectangular grille opening there.

Neat..wonder what the 3 round holes above the bumper were for..

Heh heh..that's me..didn't turn my outside lights back on until midnight...it was in the 40s and windy last night. Don't think there was much in the way of tricker treating in my neighborhood..no one went past my house, from checking my Ring cameras...

Model Roundup also lists it as a January release.

Good show...as it goes along, there is more late '70s and early 80s stuff...Ford LTD II, Fairmont, etc..

I don’t recall a diecast Magnum. There was the Uptown Magnum kit w/ scissor doors, but it was unrelated to the regular kit tooling IIRC.

I had a coworker back in the late 00s that had an early Z3 roadster, was dark green w/ the tan interior...rode in it to lunch occasionally. He used snow tires and drove it year round in Denver (and worked from home when the weather was too bad to drive it in). It got totaled by a driver than ran a stop sign down the street from the office in '08, replaced it with a then-new Boxster S.

The original 4cyl Z3 was such a blatant product placement example in Goldeneye... it looked totally stock. IIRC, there was dialog in the movie of some Q goodies on the car, but nothing was shown... I did like the 750IL and Z8, though...

I'd love to see Revell do a '38 Ford... could probably be based on their '37 or '40 tooling....love that front end..

Depends on which Revell Hemi you refer to...IIRC, there was talk some years back that the Hemi in either the Magnum or Challenger (the only Revell 1/25th modern Hemis) was underscale...

The hyped up fake drama and fake timelines make shows like this unwatchable to me. Reality TV is a joke in general, IMO. I find some of the various YouTube car build/fix up/flip channels way more interesting to watch..Hoovies Garage, Legit Street Cars, Watch JR Go, Tavarish, Samcrac, to name a few.

Looks like the Sunoco livery was only issued in the early 70s...the most recent this past decade were Texaco then Shell..

It's such a generic front end design, though...nothing about it is distinctive, unlike the older R series.

My dogs only go in my fenced yard. I pick it up to keep them from recycling it.

Cool..didn't know that one existed...I was familiar w/ the 1/25th one (would like to see that one reissued also).

Wasn't that kit 1/25th and unrelated to the 1/32nd kits? I think the '40 Ford is the only one of the 1/32nd All Stars that hasn't been reissued.

I think I have about 30 Modelhaus kits in my stash and a ton of their parts. Plan to build them all eventually....

Oddly, the only issue of the Superliner kit with Mack on the box art showing on Scalemates appears to be a Russian-language Italeri issue from 2015...something unlicensed?

Interesting how these Italeri tools have also been reboxed by Revell in the past. I guess they don't have the license for the Mack name so the Superliner is generic.

As far as stock vans, I remember Dodge and Plymouth full size vans around 1979 into the early 80s had deluxe versions with quad stacked rectangular lights, and Ford, Chevy and GMC w/ single rectangular...

Those have been discussed extensively in other threads. Wouldn’t be in this thread as those are supposed to be late 2020 releases.
