I have included here since it relates to model information, not the club meeting. Revell stopped by our GTR Model Car Club meeting last night and brought some built ups and test shots. Sadly, I only had my cell phone camera so I don’t have the greatest pictures. Brought to our meeting were built ups of the Starsky and Hutch Ford and BMW I8. A test shot sample of the Porsche 918 was also brought. The BMW I8 looked pretty good, and has engine detail (for what it is). The doors can be posed open or closed. Apparently it will come to the USA only in the Revell of Germany box. The Starsky and Hutch built up is not the box art model. The delay has apparently been with the Chinese partner on correcting issues. The built up does not have the fixed rear side glass, but it is supposedly included.

Revell Germany 1/24th scale BMW i8
Exotics_Builder replied to Luc Janssens's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Instructions are online at RoG's website. I got my hands on a test shot missing "glass" and decal sheet (which I am trying to get) if anyone needs any detail photos of anything. -
Revell also indicated a C7R would most likely be done before a Z06 or convertible, but all plans were not finalized and what will actually show up is not known by me. I am happy with anything they are willing to share, but also must respect confidences. I also get photos or info on kits that I have no interest in so that those who are will be informed.

1968 Hemi Dart - UPDATE 6/29/2015 Last WIP
Exotics_Builder replied to Exotics_Builder's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Work almost done on engine. Need to finish the fuel lines then mount in the chassis and do more wiring. May leave the starter wiring alone since it will be buried. I also drilled out the block for a dip stick tube. -

Auto Transporter Trailer By Revell
Exotics_Builder replied to Mr mopar's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Not to challenge your perception, but is this actual data? When I interviewed the various manufacturers a few years ago, the markup to suggested retail was around 50%. There would be a small profit built into the wholesale price. -
They were $40 each when bought over 12 years ago. Looks like I bought them at an inopportune time.

Well I have these two and they are going up in the trade section (not cheap trades). Just not in the build horizon anymore...

You cannot go wrong with VRM decals. I have the midget sets for the V8 and Offy, the Cobra set, the Cheetah set and a couple of others. All high quality (no I don't get a cut even if I was born in Massachusetts ). Looking forward to getting several sets of the engine turned decals as I have several projects they could be applied to.

Suspect future versions. The sprues are clean at the ends. -
X2. I need to get in touch with Chris and get some stuff. He sells out quick on a lot of his work.
