You can't tell me this thing isn't cool.
It's not lol;) It does have the nice, not so obvious, work on it. Very clean, but very boring too.

Some of Ed Roth's and Tom Daniel's kits are always in the current Revell catalog, which would seem to indicate Revell doesn't reissue them with the intent of losing money, then wholesaling them to Ollie's. You better believe Revell would LOVE to find the next Ed Roth, George Barris, Tom Daniel, Daryl Starbird, etc. Is Chip Foose that person? Beats me, but he probably has the best chance at being that person in this day and age.
I hope they sell. I hope they're not more trouble than they are worth for Revell. And, hopefully, Chip Foose does have a fair stake, also invested in these.
Thanks for the info on the Caddy's previous origins. Maybe I'll try and make the Boyd's version from this.

Some of you guys keep hoping these new ideas of Revell's will bring in new builders. Has it ever before? Maybe these kits will sell. Maybe "all the Foose followers" will help on buying them up. What happens when his following dies off? When his styling becomes outdated, like the Barris or Roth. Yes, some of those designs are near and dear to some of you older guys lol. It doesn't mean they will transcend through the ages. All the tooling for brand new kits, that will most likely wind up at an Ollies in the near future. I'll buy one of the Caddies, but don't make Foose out to be the savior of revell lol. They need a lot more help to get back to making decent kits for model builders again.

I was just thinking. There are other subjects like the bikes, that I would like to see them reissued in parts packs. MPC's '69 and '70 Pontiac Bonneville hardtop kits came with a canoe and roof racks. In the early 60's AMT's Ford pickup trucks came with a go kart. Several MPC kits came with mini bikes and bumper brackets. Man, I loved those extras. I am sure there are others I don't even know about, but would be interested in buying if Round 2 were to offer them in in a simular parts pack packaging.
That would certainly be excellent!!

Looks good, wish it was LHD. I have one of the later Monogram Esprits, but I prefer the look of the earlier version
This car and kit, has possibly, the MOST easy LHD/RHD conversion ever lol.
-
I have no interest in this race car. But I've seen the decals the other day, in person. They are AMAZING!
-
Looks like, they're reissuing the NSX under the Fast and Furious line too.
-
Still designed like a toy:/

I really like the Tumbler......really want the model. This just looks too much like the Batmobile from the Clooney Batman and Robin car. Way too many add on do-dads to look functional.
The Tumbler also had many add on things. But most were functional. That entire 1:1 was functional. Design was ehh...but functional. The new BvsS batmobile looks like a good evolution from that. Lego already has theirs out. Come one Moebius.

I wonder if the '48 Ford coupe is an updated IMC kit. Promos were made of the tudor sedan (Master Caster) and fordor sedan (AMT). For kits, I think IMC had a convertible, and Revell has the woodie.
Sounds like you've never seen the IMC or Revell 48 kits lol.
Great. Now lets see if Revell actually gets the Olds on the shelves this time. How many, many, many people claimed to buy them all. Hopefully.

Oh great. More garbage from another team up

A Special Announcement from Revell: Check out complete details on the official press release here:
http://tinyurl.com/o3z4x5f
Ryan Friedlinghaus, founder and CEO, West Coast Customs and Lou Aguilera, GM and Vice President, Revell shake hands in front of the WCC/Revell model store located at the new state-of-the art WCC headquarters located in Burbank, CA. Revell and West Coast Customs have agreed to a 3-year TV sponsorship agreement. -
The Sox and Martin was the next release. And that has also been on sale for a while now.

Can't wait for Revell's lawyers to contact this guy about the money he's been making off of their name lol. What a putz,
-
The PC BS issue:) I never have an issue with it.
And I have a few of the Tilt Tokyo Marui cannonball run cars.

Thanks for the review! I bet some people are going to cry over this thread:/

Bentley is now under VW. But the only one of those companies that builds super cars, is mclaren.
-
Is there a British automobile manufacturer anymore? I thought all were sold to foreign companies or closed. I didn't realize McLaren was, but I know now.
Yes. Also what i wwas getting at. But we can only go on what Matt isn't telling us.
-
Mmmm. Mclaren would definitely work. The Japanese seem to not be ontop of the new P1 yet. WHY????
I just don't combine British and supercar together usually. IE, nothing worthy enough of being labelled super. But yes. I had forgotten Mclarens are UK cars.
New Astons, Lotus', Jaaaaags would still be welcomed.
-
What is a british supercar?
-
Thanks. Do you have pics of the backdrop?
-
It was due in september, but got pushed back. The kit is awful. I will get another because I like to punish myself.
-
Some had different wheels and a photoetch set. But mostly, yes. Same kit, different box.
