You should email the seller and see if you're getting 4 of them, because at that price you should be.

The 30 Ford will be the 30 Ford, the tooling was restored, but nothing has been added other than fulfilling the other half of the engine "swap" and will come with the Buick mill.

It's just the Fujimi kit reboxed, those are usually available pretty far and wide for less than I imagine this will sell for on the shelf.

$43.23 for May 30th release at HobbyEasy in Hong Kong.

It was supposed to be mid-summer before the Coupe was going to get run again. The Roadster carries different inserts and isn't directly affected with whatever potential retool they might be doing to the Coupe's roof.

Sure can! It will mount to any 1/24(25) truck, but specifically it was sold with this 359 as a boxed set back in 1983.

Inglewood's School District has over 11,000 students, making it a small city of it's own so to speak when it's in session. You guys have SROs up there, which is how most school districts down here handle it as well. But larger districts find it easier to maintain their own force than trying to get officers from the surrounding city. LA Unified School District Police is one of the largest departments in the entire State of California with over 400 officers serving a student population exceeding 600k. I believe the beige interiors were offered up until 2005. Inglewood itself had it's own department from the late 20s until the early 90s, then became a LASO Contract, and in 2008 they reincorporated the department which still continues to serve the city.

Indio Schools are part of the Desert Sands Unified School District. Remember the "U" in California stands for Unified. That being said I believe you have a former Inglewood Unified School District unit.

I would expect this to be nothing other than the 1/12 kit hit with a shrink ray. I highly doubt Meng has fixed anything between the two since they're so convinced the 1/12 one is the most accurately represented GT40 ever done if you read their own literature about it. I mean the 1/12 kit was roundly beaten within an inch of it's life around here, so I would presume everyone should just go ahead and ignore this one too. Or are we now accepting it since it's the "right size" and the price isn't over $200?

The hood is different too. It's the first time the Satellite hood has been in the kit since it was modified into the GTX in 1995.

FWIW the actual April releases are going to be the Coke'd up '72 Chevy P/U and '64 Cutlass Convertible. All of the kits in the video popped up this morning on the distribution list with May dates attached.

To my knowledge there is no 4 door version to this kit. It comes as a Convertible with no up top, a Convertible with an up top (which also has the boot) and as a "hard top" which is separate from the body (and also has the Convertible boot). All three were just reissued back in February, so they should be easier to find right now.

The paint call outs are for RevellAGs in house brand of paint, which is slowly finding it's way into U.S. Hobby Shops. They always have been for Revell's own paint line. Really the only changes made recently to the instructions is making them colorized.

Not only the injector pins, but just look at the feed points between the runner and the tree. They're all current "Asian" style where the instead of the feed point going directly INTO the side of the part, it actually goes in on a little platform behind the part. You see this all the time with Japanese/Chinese kits so that the clean up point is not on the face of the part. All of the chrome parts have this feature meaning the actual attachment point on the wheels and both bumpers is on the backside of those pieces not the actual side of them which should eliminate the need to lose chunks of chrome in the process of removal and cleanup.

I'm guessing they wanted to keep the box art as close to the original as possible, but Round2 doesn't own the Ertl trademark, and I expect Tomy would want some cash to license it for use.

No because that quickly turns into a - Do You Wanna Sell That XYZ?!?!? - thread within the first day.

The short easy answer is Round2 doesn't make a penny from a kit released 13 yrs ago sitting in your kit collection when you sell it to the next person. It hasn't been on retail shelves in probably 10 years at least. The U.S. industry "standard" so to speak has traditionally been 8 years between reissues on existing tooling, so if anything it's overdue.

75 kits? You need to pump up those numbers, those are rookie numbers in this racket.

The trunk is separate because the same base 90s era kit underpins this and the Shelby version. The "base" Mustang is the actual original tool, and the GT-350 is the modified reissue. So if you've got and built the "retro" Shelby kit, then you know what to expect here only with less go-fast.

It the "single use" nature of that kit in a larger perspective that seems to make them shy about making it. It something I bring up with anyone I know who's in the aftermarket who deals with them as well. Replace that god awful chassis-sized Fujimi kit the way the M3 did. It has many DTM, Touring and Macau uses. BUT what else can they make that uses a Mercedes license. Tamiya kits full a huge swath of the other options from the 93 DTM, 02 DTM, CLK GTR, AMG GT3, etc. Fujimi kitted the SLS AMG GT3... If you step back and look their manufacturer licenses are multi-use...with the exception of the Lancia Delta S4 which has two releases, Volvo with two releases, and the Cruze will have it's 2nd release finally next month. They've only made one thing with their Nissan license, but there was supposed to be that 80s Nissan Cherry "Minor Touring" project. The 306 Maxi is a new kit and there will be the Evo II version, but who knows what other projects that could lead to down the road. Mitsubishi - Lancer (x2) & Starion Honda - Civic EF3 x2, EF9 (1 release, 1 pending) Audi - Pending Quattro S1, Quattro S1 E2, R8 LMS (x2, 1 pending), pending R8 LMS Evo, pending A4 Touring BMW - M3 (x5 release, 1 pending), M6 (x5 release, 1 pending), 320i DTCC (with pending 2004 Spec, M3 GTR, and E90 Touring pending of the base tooling), pending M8, pending Gr 5 320i Toyota - ST165 Celica x4, TA64 Celica x3, Corona/Carina (total x3), AE92 Levin x2, (Starlet Pending?) Porsche - 935 K2, K3, pending 911 SC/RS, pending 911 GT3, pending 911 RSR

I hate to disappoint you three, but no that is not remotely close to what I had passed before my eyes under the cover of darkness.

Fresh off the Round2 FB page.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show yesterday. Had good (but not uncomfortably packed to the rafters) crowds for the day, and we actually ran out of contest entry forms before registration closed.

Atlantis would have to pay Revell to run the kit as the tooling is in China. They had this one done and ready to go prior to Hobbico imploding and were displaying it as an upcoming kit from the reconstituted Revell U.S. before TD took his ball and went to sulking.

The Flatbed and the earlier Fords were underway prior to the sale to Pegasus. I can say I know of some new tooling that has been cut, but again it's more of a heavily modified reissue than something ALL new. The "issue" with the Nova/Chevy II as previously stated is that the tooling wasn't done before hand, just the rapid 3D prototypes. As far as anyone knows (or anyone who's whispering in the winds as it were) Pegasus hasn't decided to necessarily green light any self-funded new tooling. But they haven't officially canceled any project either. Guess we'll see what happens in 2021 if any sort of "normalcy" returns later this year.
