All the Taxi parts were actually in the original, this just adds decals and the figure.

Might be too many Zs in a row. The ZG being the last new kit.

Best part of the September video? NONE if those are actually coming out this month. Gotta love it.

Round2 to goes live Sept 2 1:00 pm Pacific

No it's what's left of the annual. They need to "One Run of Fun" that mess and revert it back to an actual Toronado. -
Round2 to goes live Sept 2 1:00 pm Pacific
niteowl7710 replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Well to be fair I'd prefer Round2 not invoke the Holocaust and Concentration Camps in media to advertise their products the way AK Interactive did...so maybe not so cutting edge as they have been. -
Two Tamiya 1/24 items for the "Fall", both December releases. Reissue of the 1983 300ZX, not sure when this was in the catalog last, but it's been awhile. Makes sense, much like all the Supra reissues when the new one was done. The 350Z "Track" was reissued a few days ago, all to coincide with the 240ZG kit. New tool will be the 2022 Toyota GR 86, the Gazoo Racing tweaked New Gen Toyota 86. No photos of the item yet, will be interesting to see if it's a straight curbside, or wonky engine insert like the first 86 kit was...also whether this one will be both LHD/RHD or only JDM like the first one.

Round 2 Live Stream I noticed when I went for that link there are supposedly already 15 people waiting and it's still 2 hours out. I'm betting the reveal of the Razorcrest test shots is the bigger draw here than anything that might get debuted for cars. -
1/24 Revell Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa
niteowl7710 replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The current cars I noticed there are a rather large amount of RHD drive cars available, but the supply dwindles to a trickle once you get back into the 80s. Perhaps that's more a reflection of how few still exist, or are being kept as vintage pieces now rather than the actual supply. Although that one Targa I did find claimed it was 1 of 6 Targas imported to the U.K. that year at all (not just that specific color combination, or options).- 31 replies

Boy this better live up to the near daily hype that presumes no one can read a calender or use their clocks...? -
Hasegawa is announcing Nov/December on the 7th, so everyone else should be around that same time frame of early next week.

That kit has been reissued since that 3 yr old post you replied to was originally posted.

Any news of Revell do something this year !
niteowl7710 replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Well look at the on going mess that is the Round2 videos. Those have been going on for years now and still have things put on display in the wrong months from their actual release. Could the 911 Coupe be out by the end of October, I can see that...maybe if there are no delays or needs for revision from the production shots. Also notice that list still hasn't fixed that "1981 Z-18" into the actual 78 Camaro it really is, are the scales still swapped between it and the '69 Camaro too? -
They are separate pieces.

Revell Ford Bronco...Help
niteowl7710 replied to Dpate's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
There aren't any outside mirror faces on that P/E, they give you 3 parts to make a new inside rearview - 23 & 24, with 22 being the mount from the window. The stuff to the left of that isn't mirror faces it's the gas, brake, clutch, and parking brake pedals. This is also the downside of P/E, it's one dimensional. It's great for scripts and things like grille/radiator mesh, but for 3D shapes, most of the time a 1D piece of metal isn't an actual upgrade. -
1/24 Revell Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa
niteowl7710 replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Decals and instructions are the last things done, and given that the Targa isn't supposed to released until right around Christmas, no they weren't done yet. Revell didn't even have a proper set of test shots to send Ed to take to Vegas for anything coming this fall from them. Side note, I see it's got a RHD dash option again. That'll make the UK guys happy I presume. Still that's gotta be a rare duck, there don't seem to be very many of them that were made factory RHD. Searching for ones online turned up a 1 of 6 U.K. Targa for sale...so what...a few hundred were made that way?- 31 replies

They actually addressed the C-1500 for the first time in the comments of their last video saying that the tooling requires significant re-works to be able to release it in factory stock form (I presume that means long bed, short bed or 454 SS) and that right now it wasn't on the slate to be financed. But like Tim said, keep asking and buy the stuff you like they do make.

All will be answered in the next 10-14 days as these kits will be Nov/Dec releases and Aoshima already announced their November kits at the beginning of this month and Hasegawa (with that new tool RX-7) announced for October this month. So I'd expect of all of the pre-orders to be up by the first full Friday of September (10th). Aoshima still hasn't announced a date on that LB Aventador V1, so that will probably be on the slate.

2021 IPMS Nationals Kit Information
niteowl7710 replied to niteowl7710's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Ed believed these were going to be marketed at 1984s. Which would make them a year earlier and slightly different flavoring than the various Fujimi 1985 911 Turbo based kits. -
Round2 to goes live Sept 2 1:00 pm Pacific
niteowl7710 replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
It specifically said "new big rig kit", which has people speculating it might finally be the fruition of the Garwood. It better not just be the Rat Fink 4070A...that's not "new" it's just decals. -
2021 IPMS Nationals Kit Information
niteowl7710 replied to niteowl7710's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The 911s are a completely new tool unrelated to any past anything from anyone. -
It was sponsored by one of Tamiya's European Distributors (of which there are many - there's no centralized office over there anymore like we have in California), not the home office in Japan.
