Matt T. Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 What's coming in the July - August timeframe, Revell? (Yes, I know, fellow MCM board member - 1) you have plenty of kits to build already and 2) there are Q2 Revell releases that won't hit the stores until Q3).
Brett Barrow Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Well, I don't think they've officially announced 3rd quarter stuff yet, but here are all the unfulfilled TBA's that aren't out yet. Sure some will slip into the 3rd qtr or even later. Expected due dates if I know them, subject to change, as always. New kits: 1/25 2014 Corvette Stingray (Snap Kit - due late June) 1/25 Starsky & Hutch Torino (due ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) 1/25 1957 Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon (due late June) 1/25 1929 Model A Roadster (2 in 1) (due summerish) 1/25 2014 Corvette Stingray (Glue Kit) 1/25 2013 Camaro ZL1 (unpainted with decals) Reissues: 1/25 BRE 240Z Datsun Race Car (SSP) 1/25 Auto Transport Trailer (due late May) 1/24 1955 Ford Panel Truck 1/24 1980 Ford Ranger Pickup Truck 1/25 1972 Porsche 914/6 1/24 Tom Daniel's Jinx Express (due late June)

Len Woodruff Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 The test shots I saw showed the rear transmission and exhausts as 2 piece. There was a detailed engine though.
Brett Barrow Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Brett, is the full glue C7 kit going be like that of the pre paint Camaro/Challenger kit (minus the pre paint) I believe it will be a pre paint. That was the plan last I heard.

peter31a Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Cool! Love the idea of the Fusion Nascar kits but I doubt the Blue Deuce will have the proper decals. Miller Brewery decals won't fly this day and age. Still a cool announcement though.

1320wayne Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Will not have the Miller Decals, I think there is a law that wont allow them to do them. Why no beer decals? As long as the verbage on the kit deflects away from children then they have loopholes to run with it. Think back to Revell doing the Earnhardt JR. Budweiser M/C and the Bernstein Budweiser top fuel kit. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Either way it's good news because the aftermarket decal industry will jump all over these new kits.
Rob Hall Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 If the NASCAR Fords are successful, maybe they will do the Chevy and Toyota...all my favorite drivers drive Chevys (Hendrick and Stewart-Haas teams).
LVZ2881 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Mike @ Powerslide will provide us some good Miller decals in due time, I'm sure!

Either way it's good news because the aftermarket decal industry will jump all over these new kits. I honestly forget about Jr's Bud kits, I recall it was labeled for the adult collectors , or something like that. I am sure there is a reason why there are going the safe route.

You are on the right track with something you said , its that "L" word, leaving it at that. Edited May 14, 2015 by martinfan5
gasman Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Really happy too that we are getting a NASCAR Gen 6 kit. no big deal to me that it's a snap. Aftermarket should be offering some good decals, and it's the right scale 1/24 No surprise too see the 17 Raptor. Nice too see the Olds Pace Car kit. The first issue from about 6 years ago was quickly discontinued.
Luc Janssens Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Snap-tite max, anyone here know what the max stands for?
DaveM Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Do the NASCAR Fusions have blacked out windows? Hollow cars, or do they have some form of interior? I am also glad to see the Olds back. I am still hoping that we get one with a roof someday, but this one is nice to see too. I have the Revell Muscle version. I wonder how much the resin figure is going to jack it up? I will get one for sure, two if they're reasonable. I might be in for a Speedwagon as I can always use more '32s
Dave Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Snap-tite max, anyone here know what the max stands for? Maybe a bit more detail than a regular snapper? Slightly higher parts count? I know aftermarket will fill the decal needs, but hoping these have water slide decals, or both stickers and water slide....
exesivefire Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Man I was hoping for full detail, i really want the new NASCAR drivetrain...
Rob Hall Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 3rd quarter looks thin..I am interested in the new Raptor, though. I know the S&H Torino is supposedly scheduled for 3rd quarter, looking forward to that..
Danno Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I thought the latest was that the Torino was pushed back to 4th quarter.
martinfan5 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I thought the latest was that the Torino was pushed back to 4th quarter. Tower Hobbies has it listed for a Sept release, so take that for what's it's worth.
bigbluesd Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 So do you guys think the Raptor will be a real kit and not a build and play? It says Snaptite so I would assume so, but those headlights look suspiciously painted to me in that picture. On another note, has anybody come out with waterslide Raptor decals yet?
