Stay away from this one!! Unless you got acorns to make it a custom and do away with the fussy components alltogether. I built an 80's-ish issue a few years ago... boy was it a mess!! Regardless if they even cared to clean/fix the fitment problems in this release, i'd skip it and go for the Gunze and Heller kits... Though those command alot more dough than the Revell kit and are much, much harder to find (from my experience). Not by very much though. To my eye, i'm comparing what I have left of the Revell kit to the Aurora/Monogram one body wise, and they are almost identical tooling wise, even the details right down to the engine.

They'll prolly be molded in like Revell's '06 Camaro Concept snapper is... though cutting them off shouldn't be too bad if the ingraving lines are deep (not thin like AMT's camaro, GOD!)

Yes it will, just like their New snapper '69 Camaro thats currently out now. Which obviously shares the body with the glue kits (abit with some minor modifications) that date back to 1990. The New Ferarri Enzo (1/24th) snapper due to be released in the next year will have the body based from the Revell AG glue kit, abit heavily modified for snap configureation, and having everything else newly tooled. The snapper '10 stang has a newly tooled snapper chassis and etc. but the body tooling direct from the GT coupe casting, with some obvious modifications being a ragtop and the interior (which should easily interchange with the glue kit).

Oh, I forgot some more: Monogram BMW 535. Only because the two kits I bought were totaly warped and had a fitment issue between the interior and the body. And the Monogram Ferarri Testerossa "Miami Vice" Looked nice and went together pretty decent.... untill fitting the interior and frame to the body (and the glass too (shrugs).

Oh! I thought it was the testors/gunze kit that is being released, but this appears to be a newer tool. Will it be a curbside, or full detail?

Maybe if we wait a little bit, Ollies or Tuesday Morning will have 'em for $19.99! LOL

Revell 90-97 Acura/Honda NSX Please!! Being the Snap-tite and '99 issues are VERY hard to find Well, they're reissueing Lambos in the Performance series, and putting out a snapper Ferarri Enzo, so maybe they could give these one more shot.

Here are my top 10: 10. Lindberg 40' Ford Coupe - being this was a Pyro's clone of the AMT kit, and a really messy one, it is buildable if not using 50% of whats in the box. 9. AMT/MPC Dukes General Lee Charger - Previous issues were a mess (expecialy the 2007 release). The newest release by Round 2 fixes some major issues with the body and decals, but the rest is still a mess and it's worth getting a Revell 69' Charger kit, but using the '68 body (as it's a hardtop not a vinyl top the 69 is) and the rest of fthe dukes parts to make it into a superb Lee. 8.AMT/MPC/ERTL 69' & 73 Mustang Mach 1 kits - both are the excat same POS with different bodys/interiors. The 73 is a tad nicer, only because the body on the 69 is horrid (worse than Revells, though the only thing wrong with that one is the shape of the front nose & grille). 7. AMT F&F 70' Charger - If you though when I said the General Lee kit was bad, believe me when I say how shatty THIS variant is. It's worse than the GL and thankfully was only released once. The grille dosen't fit like Jesica Alba's recent plastic surgery, the blower parts are nothing more but shapes of horse dung w/ chrome plating; and the rest barely repersents the 1:1 car. 6. AMT/ERTL Lamborghini Diablo - The ill-fittng one piece glass unit is the real killer of this kit. 5. AMT/Polar Lights 64' Pontiac GTO - As i've previously mentioned in one of the topics on here, the only good thing this kit is good for is the chassis, interior, suspension/exhaust units, and maybe the wheels/tires, to restore/update an old AMT GTO annual or the current 65' goat kit. The body and motor on the PL kit are reccomended as scrap parts to test out paint on. Get the Revell-Monogram kit if you want a accurate Goat. 4. AMT/MPC 69 Camaro Z28 Coupe/Convertables - When the body was restored (poorly) in the mid- 80s after it's life as the 69 Firebird (which isn't as bad TBH), the body on the convertable is not-so-good, but the coupe body is horendorus on all accounts! The rest of of the kit is so-so, being it's shared with the firebird (and even carrying it's engine and steering wheel, among other things). Monograms attempt from the 70's is bad, but miles ahead of this one! 3. MPC Ice Cream Truck Show Rod - Stay away, FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!! 2.Revell Porsche 50's Speedster - Could be buildable if the body was a SINGLE piece unit rather than that horrid, warped multipiece body. And now... Numero ONO!! AMT/ERTL 66' Mustang GT coupe - (Sorry I keep using that - it's just too funny not to post... expecally when over THAT kit!!) I've heard of more Pyro, IMC, and oldie revell kits. But most of those i've never built, so maybe U guys prolly have. I've told you my worst kits i've ever built, now lets hear yours!

Well anyone?

Tell me about it!

The name of the film yer talking about is called "99 and 44/100% Dead" from 1974. I remember that opening sequence when I saw it on TV a while back (creepy isin't it). IIRC, there were a few sequences with some car chase scenes, but most of it consisted of the typical 70's action/supense/sex-crazed mish-mash of the era. Still, it's an intresting watch to check out, considering the ###### we get nowadays. Here's the page about the film if your intrested: http://en.wikipedia...._44/100%25_Dead I think it's been released on DVD in North America and quite possibly in the PAL regon. It shows up on premimum movie channels and some HD feeds from time to time.

From what I heard, watch for the fitment of the front bumper. That thing can be a nasty 'lil bugger to work with if proper fitment modifications weren't made .

Most of the Revell Ferarris i've (tried to) tackle were like Chuck said, warped, ill-fitting junk. I hope the snap kit is better but judging from the pics, it looks like just the body will be from the glue kit, abit with some heavy modifictions to make the part for the snap conversion (along with an engine insert for the glass piece to show through, among other things)

I plan to be there as allways. So, aside from our own clubbies, who else form the boards is going?

What if the AMT '66 Stink-Stang is the only one to make it on the shelfs? Then we'd be real bugged off! (LOL)

Opps, my bad. I ment the price on the PETERBILT 1/16, not the KENWORTH W900. Sorry folks, I didn't pay too much attention to whichone of the 1/16th truck lits being reissued. Again, my bad. Hope ya weren't confused or thrown off too much. Yup, i've seen the Peterbilt/ 1/16th on some sites for $72+ for pre-order. The KW may come soon if sales are good.

I've never built one of these, but now that this big ol puppy is gonna be rereleased, what do ya think the MSRP will be on it? Prolly bout $90 or so... thats not too bad. Considering the orginals are going for $375+ for mint examples, and $80+ for built ups.

Works fine for me. I susgest you may have a problem with your internet service provider, problems with ie (you may need to upgrade to whatever latest edtion they currently have out now), or sometimes the amazon website has server issues that should go away by pressing F5 or relaunching IE.

Allright then, TNX for the info. Least I saved me som cash.

Is it any good, or is it shat like the testors stuff? Saw it at the LHS when I was last there and was just curious. TNX V,

Wish I had me an Olies in Long island! :angry: DANG, DANG!!! Those R some Killer deals on these kits!! When I was at an LHS a few weeks ago, he had the ford f250 and a few crown vickies for $22.99. Saying those are now "Discontinued products" Ha! BS!!!

I heard a 57 Bel Air convertable is in the works from their BW/150 sedan kit.

Monkie Mobile would be nice to have again if they fix the horrible flash and warpage the 2000 issue had (Will this one have the figures?) AMT Amtronic.... That kit is horrendous!! Nothing fit, flash everywere, and most of the kit was a PITA to put together!! Unless they fix the fitment issues it has, I plan to avoid it like the plegue! I thought the Manx was canceled? Or was that the VW Bugaboo drag car? All the others would be nice to have again... Cept the 66 'Stang. Why is that getting reissued? Theres allready a whole smackload of the previous issues still out there fresh in the package... for less than a $1.00. Theres tons of other subjects that are more worthy in getting rereleased, and could sell far more units than that POS!

The '77 Chevy Van thats getting rereleased was NOT the one the combo pack from the 90s that had a racing boat and trailer, but was the Revell Charlies Angels kit with the stock van body restored (horribly). The Monogram kit hasn't been seen for many years since 1983.

I heard if this '57 Ford sells well, we'll prolly see a Ranchero tool, and a Fairlane Convertable (crossing fingers!) To untie confusion here, the GMC wrecker that will be released next month is the old REVELL Caption Hook Snap-Tite kit from 1978 - last seen w/ generic decals in 1993. This GMC pick-up w/ snow plow is the Monogram kit that was last seen as a Chevy stepside (which is the same kit, but different badging and etc.) in 1995, but with the GMC parts restored and new? snow plow parts added (rumored to be from the rare 1980 Ford F-250 Monogram made)
