Brett Barrow Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 $25 for a snapper. Â Yikes. Â Â How bout $200+ snappers? Â Check out Bandai's sci-fi kits. Â With today's design and molding technology there's no good reason why every kit shouldn't be a snap kit. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted November 13, 2015 Share 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.

Brett Barrow Posted November 14, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted November 14, 2015 Share 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.

gasman Posted December 26, 2015 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Excited for a review. I've yet to see any at the hobby stores around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
