I was just pointing it out, I do like the "what If" idea myself , I can see someone doing it in resin. -
New Revell NASCAR kits
martinfan5 replied to martinfan5's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
lets compare those "stickers" For 2015 Brad K's Miller duce Ford has the following Moog, Freescale, Mahle,Lincoln Welders,Duralast Brakes,Mechanics Wear, K&N Fliters, (not counting the Sunoco/Coors) Dale Jrs Nationwide Dew Chevy Mechanics Wear,Mahle, Holley, Freescale, Duralast,Flowmaster,IR,3M,Moog, Comp Arms,Edelbrock 11vs7 What I do know is NASCAR has a licensing trust which handles all licensing for 11 teams and NASCAR , and there are four different categories for the teams: apparel, collectible diecast cars, toys and trackside retail. What does it all cover, well, everything for that team/driver is my understanding. -
New Revell NASCAR kits

That very well could be the reason why the Fords are the first ones being done, I do believe that is why it took awhile for Revell to get the C7 kit done is that Revell and GM were not getting along and did not want to work with Revell, so the rumors said. -
Gonna make easier on me, and just build as a curbside

New Revell NASCAR kits

I am not a Ford a fan, but just like Dave said, I am going to start out with Four , just to support the effort to help bring the Chevy and Toyota, which, I will put my money where my mouth is and buy a case of each to get started. Not going to get into the whole should of done it, but I think the Chevy's would of been a better choice to test the waters with, I mean, you have most of NASCAR's most popular drivers and the marketing tool driving Chevys , just not sure going with the Fords and the limited popular drivers in them was a good idea to start with. But there are reasons why they are doing the Fords first. -
Dont you just love those factual facts

Its a reissue, its based on a Nissan Safari, that is about as much as I know Here is a Machine translated info on the kit "What is Safari? ... The first 111 episodes of January 3, 1982 broadcast was first appeared in the marching orders & Special Vehicle `` safari], Directive cars SWAT vehicle Corps. - But until now was almost the production of only safari, this time it is the version with a long time of [tank cars]. - Until the last year of March to June, vehicle (Safari only) has been exhibited at Yokohama Nissan Global Headquarters Gallery." Here is the kit from the last time it was issued, you can see more of the kit http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10066905

The drivetrain for the most part is the same that was on the 2006 NASCAR kits, very little has changed. All I can tell you is whats been posted by someone else that says they have some insider info that the chassis will be update to current COT chassis , but no engine detail, it was also said that Revell was looking at having different style dash's and seats , that could happen *if* they do the Chevy and Toyota's, which as it sounds, those are being planned, but please dont take that as fact and its going to happen.

I agree, but they are only showing stuff for the first half of the year

New Revell NASCAR kits
martinfan5 replied to martinfan5's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
I was thinking of doing the same, but I am going to hold off, I looking forward to hearing what he says about them, but I really dont care , I am buying them, and if they do end up doing the Chevy and Toyota, buying a case of each, dont bother me one bit that they are a snapper. -
This covers the first half of year, so this is it for now.
