It's on the Distribution List for September, which depending on how late in the month it ends up being could trickle over into Early October. Model Roundup also seems to get their releases a week later than everyone else, including my LHS.

These came in the mail while I was in VA for the Nats. Still catching up after all the shipping nonsense. HK can send envelopes with "documents", but still no parcels. Really figured 6 months later they would have figured that out, but *shrug* The Merc decals are direct replacements for the original Tamiya liveries. The two Porsches are for the NuNu 911 GTE with ZoomOn 2020 transkit (or the hopes that NuNu follows up the 2018 kit with the face-lift if I can't figure out how to get ZoomOn stuff here now that all de minimis is about to expire at the end of the month.

Justin there's clearly a Revell US sized box with the Revuelto, it's not on the list right now per se, but there's a N/A rebox in the offing. Not sure how how much market the e-Tron would have in the U.S. since it's not the one from the Avengers and I can probably count on one hand how many of them I've seen in real life.

Not a bad thing, just an expensive thing. Revell overpopulated the market with all of the '06-'10 Mustang variants and there's still not much of a second hand market for them 15 yrs later. Model companies love to park in historical sales data as proof of sales futures so slow Mustang sales back then (because of 6 nearly identical kits being sold all at once) mean new Mustangs will be duds too. We barely got a C7 Vette (other than the race car) and it took several years to finally get a C8 after Revell/Monogram released nearly yearly updated C5 & C6s up through 2009.

Isuzu Faster. Mikado was a trim level.

I don't mean to overstate the obvious here, but it's a SnapTite kit. If there's badging it'll be on the decal sheet. The chrome "tree" is the small runner with the headlight backs and the side mirror faces. They might be able to do a full detail kit if they wanted to and had the CAD data for all of the car, but changing this into that would be so labor intensive they'd be better off creating another new tool.

No there's only one set of mirrors, one set of mirror reflectors which are on the (will be) Chrome tree with the headlight buckets.

There wasn't a lot of automotive at the Atlantis booth. The featured built models were the pair of AA Fuel Dragsters, which came out last year. Being shown for the "first" time is the old Revell 1955 Chevrolet. This is supposed to get run next month (Sept) and will come with all the stock and drag parts. I'm not familiar enough with the "classic" *cough* 55 tooling, but I think this might be the first time it's been entirely in this configuration since the 1964 boxing. Also being shown was the chrome and new glass runner for the 1/32 '56 Buick Custom

The other new tool on offer is the Lamborghini Reveulto. This kit continues the recent trend of Revell Germany based tools coming "factory prepped" with both LHD & RHD.

Next up the new tool Mustang. This kit is going to come with two sets of wheels and two trunk lids which facilitate for a spoiler or spoiler delete look. Also oddly enough two lower grill surrounds so you can add/delete the front plate mount.

Greetings and salutations from Hampton, Virginia. Once again you've wasted another year and it's time for Nationals again. Revell & Atlantis are once again sharing the same table space area with Revell having some test shots of two new upcoming tools and a few odds and ends at Atlantis. First up at Revell previously announced items on the display boards.

Uhh no we wouldn't. Other than the vaguely passable Jetsonic lightbar there isn't a single other thing about that kit that is even remotely close to the 1st Gen Taurus Police Car other than the fact it is a Taurus. The real Taurus Police Car was a base model Taurus L and didn't have a single SHO part anywhere near it. The model kit is the wrong interior, wrong drive train and wrong body trim/aero. It's also not at all accurate to the RoboCop movie cars either. The kit itself does build up into a nice SHO don't get me wrong, but the whole Police Car tie-in was a "zero dollar" attempt to amortize the tooling.

Given that 3D printing got it's footing in the hobby doing small parts, there's probably several engines out there already that you could put into this offering. Although you'd be sawzalling the heck out of $150 worth of resin to use one. One piece body, one piece chassis...the need to create an engine bay. This is sounding like $300-400 now.

Same ole, same ole...but i dont think that pickup topper, roof light rack, or center section push bar (both of the latter are different than the roll bar/KC lights and full brush guard that has come in all the other boxings) has come in any release since the original 1981 release of the "Dude" kit.

Having not seen this in person I can't judge it individually. I can say that the price point it's at it's climbing a very steep hill of expectations and quality demands curbside or not. It's playing in the big boys toys end of the pool (Alpha, PZY, Fugu Garage, Red Wheels, etc) and I'm not seeing all the extras like decals, etch, etc that help justify those other company's prices.

Don't need tests shots of the B/FX Comet or Ramp Truck, those kits are out on the streets.

Original stock '65 Comet kit was released in 2016. Time flies, etc, etc...

Two accent sheets for the Tamiya 911 GT3RS All the blue on this Audi R8 is blue chrome foil decals.

That someone would be the young lady who as (at least at the time) in charge of GM's Licensing department.

End of the year (4Q) on the presumption that tariffs don't go all sideways again.

911 GT2 from PZY/Kitbox Two new sheets from Miniature Decals for the Good Smile Racing AMG GT3 Evo 2025 Super GT and 2025 24hrs of Spa liveries.

Depending on how much QC is put into any given roll. You might have to get a straight edge and cut a new edge on it. My experience has been these cheap "washi" tape kits aren't cut as precisely as Tamiya's and it'll make your edge wander off and/or it won't seal as you'd expect and you'll get bleed under.

It is coming back out, that's the point of this thread. Got added to the Stevens International list of future releases (along with the other kits in a couple of the threads) posted yesterday.

How did it come originally? The '63 Nova has followed the exact pattern of the original kit. Craftsman, then full detail, and then the hauler set.
