There are two versions of that kit, one that's curbside and one that has an engine. The one pictured is the kit with the engine, if you (or anyone on here) finds a boxing with the car going from left to right (facing the opposite way than this box) than it's a curbside version. There's also a "DX" curbside kit that comes with P/E. Studio27 makes (or made) a comprehensive carbon fiber decal set for this model as well.

Alright I have to ask what's so great about that paint that couldn't be replicated by Vallejo or any other paint brand that does FS color matching paint colors.

It was released last month, shouldn't be too hard to find out and about.

Show me the exciting and/or interesting Busch Clash from Daytona. I'm sure there probably was one I don't recall, but it was just a dozen and half guys playing follow the leader trying not to tear up a Super Speedway car.

SnapTite kits aren't Skill Level 4, which is what the "new" kit is advertised as... Also Revell is using this as the '76 Chevy pickup, which it's obviously not at ALL

Well unless they tool up a new body for it the only 57 Bel Air they possess is the one being discussed here. Given they are using a picture of a real car, the '71 Olds 442 was advertised with a 1:1 1970 442, and the one they stole for the C8 still has the guys internet watermark on it I wouldn't necessarily trust that anything they present in early demonstration photos are an accurate representation of the model in the box.

Everyone always wants to give Chad a ration of nonsense, but apparently it's never occurred to anyone who's doing it that... 1 - This place isn't the target audience 2 - The videos are done the way Round2 wants them done These videos, which gave been consistently "incorrect" in showing what kits are coming in any given month from the very beginning are for the dopes on the R2 YT Channel and FB Feed that don't even know who made any given kit - See monthly requests demanding R2 reissue a Revell kit, or that they tool up a new series of 65-72 Ford Trucks because they don't know the Moebius kits exist and so on and so forth. Everyone here knows what's coming months and months in advance between Steve posting here and the people who troll the Steven's International list for new additions. The videos are meant to tip off the truly uninformed and do it in an approachable, golly gee shucks over-friendly Midwestern way.

Almost every single Tamiya Ferrari kit made, including those entry level FXX-Ks and Enzos were all molded in red, unless you got the Banana Yellow Special Edition kits. The DBS is molded in color, and the LFA probably would have been too if the most common color that car came in wasn't white.

But at least RevellAG owned the Corrado, they couldn't reissue It because they chopped the roof off it to make the Cabriolet version.

Thanks Luc, I appreciate at least one person here can read. The SnapTite kit was just reissued in 2019 and is still in the active catalog. ?

Dragon is the one that tooled up that series of E36s, RevellAG just reboxed them.

'57 Bel Air would be a reissue of the kit based on the 90s era Tri-5 tooling that splits duty with the 150 & Bel Air Convertible. It was last out in 2011 in a California Wheels box. '76 Chevy P/U is mostly likely a reissue of this thing last seen in 2007. Which traces itself back to the 80s Hot Rod boxing (when it was a '79).

Considering what H-D want to license anything these days, and how wildly conservative Tamiya is these days - there's probably a 99.97% chance that kit is never going to be reissued again.

Blue Max is already out, L'il Hustler should be hitting store this week.

None whatsoever, I just appreciate keeping the faith to the point of declaring your victory champaign worthy. We didn't know when, we didn't know where, we didn't know how...but we knew dangnabbit!!! ?

I gotta admit the Convertible doesn't do anything for me, but I'll be pacing a path in the carpet until the H/T version comes out. It's a win for everyone, except the people with $400 model kits that they probably can't move to anyone now but the .05% of hard core collectors. I do love me some good destruction of kit value.

To be fair the technology that allowed this to happen didn't exist on any sort of affordable level a decade ago. It's sort of like claiming you were right if you said some day we'd all carry computers in our pocket. I mean sure you guys did win the day, but you didn't know how it would actually come about...??

The Kit Box/PZY items are available only through their FB Group called "PZY & Kit Box Models Official Group". They are around the same price as the Alpha Kits ($150 + Shipping) Alpha Models has their own website they sell their kits through, they're also available through HobbyEasy in Hong Kong, along with HobbyLink Japan, BNA Model World, Hiroboy, and UpScale Hobbies here in the U.S. Expect to pay more outside of the official website/Hong Kong for the middleman markup.

Salvinos JR monthly shipment is in...

Some paint...Mitsubishi Evo colors on top with Ford Lime Gold and a Lexus 2 Parter on the bottom Incinerated some of the O/T Peak Pay from Christmas time on resin multimedia fun times.

If your insuring for value rather than for a block chunk then you need to price the items at their approximate full replacement value, and you'll probably have to do it annually to keep them happy (to say nothing of keeping the values correct yourself). There might be quite the bit of documentation required for that, but if you have a lot of "irreplaceable" items it's the way to go. If you're doing a block chunk then you'd do a given value ($20 per kit) by how many ever that might be. Downside there will be the inability to fully replace your stash if something terrible does happen to your home. Also photos, photos and more photos. A list won't cover you if the time comes, you'll need tangible proof, so make a back up thumb drive and put it in a fire proof box, or your safe deposit at the bank. For your built items, I'm sure they have value to you, but in terms of insurance (or post death sales) they're effectively worthless. For built kits to have any sort if value you'd have to have established proof that you've sold them in the past and the price range they normally achieve.

USCP is supposed to be working on a drop fit engine/engine bay for this right now.

Couple more new Audi R8 sheets from LB Production.

The real things all use the same chassis, that's part of the point of the Next Gen cars. They're "spec" race cars and share almost all of the same parts under the body shell to reduce costs. It's also part of the reason Petty/GMS won a race last year, there were over 20 different winners, and Trackhouse almost won a Championship. The small teams are able to be instantly competitive, at least until the big multi-car teams can figure out some sort of dominant edge like they used to have. I understand what you're saying in terms of being repetitive if you were to build a half dozen of them, but the kit isn't really designed to have the body shell popped on and off once you build it either.
