Brett Barrow Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 $25 for a snapper. Yikes. How bout $200+ snappers? Check out Bandai's sci-fi kits. With today's design and molding technology there's no good reason why every kit shouldn't be a snap kit.

On the new Moebius Ford pick-up kits most of the chassis will dry fit together and stay assembled......so yes....between fit and positive locators modern kits should.
martinfan5 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 Another look at the body, I have no idea where this came from, someone on FB posted it in the NASCAR group
Exotics_Builder Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Another look at the body, I have no idea where this came from, someone on FB posted it in the NASCAR group It was brought by Revell to the GTR Auto Modelers meeting last Saturday, November 7. I was there along with other members. The individual posting it is the GTR Club Secretary who shot a photo of it along with items brought by members. The body displayed a thinner passenger side B pillar than driver side. From our NASCAR aficionados, that is a correct depiction.
Lee "Spud" Loggins Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I plan on buying several. Glad to have new kits.
mikemopar70 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Ill by at least one, but when Chevy comes out,ill buy a few others...good news..
Brett Barrow Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I cut my teeth on NASCAR kits growing up, I just might just have to get one of these and strip, paint and decal one. I like the idea of not having an engine to slow down a build, I used to glue my hoods shut half the time anyway. I'm certainly no Clay Kemp. Just hope the wheel/tire package looks good.

Same here, thats all I built when I was kid/teen, love me some NASCAR kits , I am perfectly ok with the first ones being a curb side.

Brett Barrow Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Same here, thats all I built when I was kid/teen, love me some NASCAR kits , I am perfectly ok with the first ones being a curb side. I grew up in Martinsville, VA within earshot of the track. It was hard not to. NASCAR kits were everywhere, chain stores, mom & pop stores, Flea markets, etc, and then twice a year the race came to town and there were vendors selling all sorts of stuff. Our LHS had reams of decals. Was a fun childhood.
Exotics_Builder Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Thank you for adding the info behind the photo. I wish I had brought my camera to take more detail photos from various angles. I am not a NASCAR fan, but those that are could make a better assessment. The obvious thing to me was the molded hood which likely means a curbside/snap kit.

The obvious thing to me was the molded hood which likely means a curbside/snap kit.the first releases will be snaptite max's. they will eventually do glue kits as well. read back a few pages and there is a post with this information.

CRANMAN1 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I wonder if since the ford's are gonna be Penske cars will they sell the kits at the gift shop @ Penske's. Was at DEI they had models of Dale Sr. there the Lumina and 2000 Monte Carlo.
Mikey56 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 From Revell-Monogram: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVPROFIL=&FVSEARCH=851472 Kits look good and the price is right in line with other snap kits. Plan on ordering several!
Brett Barrow Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Should be hitting shelves by the end of the month.
FordRodnKustom Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Any word yet on aftermarket decals for this Fusion kit?
martinfan5 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 Any word yet on aftermarket decals for this Fusion kit?You can bet on Mike's Decal's will be doing some.
MG Brown Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Bruce Patterson has several Fusion decals currently available.
Brett Barrow Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 RPP's should be getting theirs now. Find RPP shops near you: http://www2.revell.com/cgi-bin/WRCS57505P.pgm?v=RV2
retroguy Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 well,thank God that most kits aren't snap kits because that would a tragedy...imho
martinfan5 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Posted December 25, 2015 has anyone gotten one yet?Mine will be here next week, will do a review if no one else has by then.
gasman Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 I picked one up today, no pics, but very similar to AMTs COT kit. Nice too see Revell made it in the correct scale. 1/24. Detail is good but still very simplified. Thinking I might do a Cole Whitts KFC ride, haven't done a stock car in 10 years
Toast Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Excited for a review. I've yet to see any at the hobby stores around here.
