Nova-ss Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 the Nicky Camaro and Chevy fleetside is a interest.thanl you...Chris
unclescott58 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I wonder. Which Ford GT are they talking about? I hope it new one.
Edsel-Dan Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I too am interested in the 66 Fleetside.But, I believe that will be the 64/65 kit marked as a 66.Ad will include the incorrect Cameo type fleetside box.Sure wish they would retool that part to separate the outer box sides/Fendersto make a Correct Fleetside!!!!Also betting it stays Shortbox like the 64-65 kits!!That is ok as long as they Do give us Correct 66 Trim, etc!!!
Atmobil Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Interesting with a 66 fleetside. Will have to get that one
Rob Hall Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Not much difference between the '64, '65, and '66 pickups, is there? Except side badging, maybe? I would assume by Ford GT they mean the 2017 one. The '64 and '65 are nice kits, though I'd love to see them tool up something new, like a '67-68 Chevy step side, for instance...

The Revell Fleetside box is correct, nothing 'Cameo' about it that I can see... the Cameo was a '55-57 box. Why would would it make a difference if the fenders are molded to the box, instead of separate? Plenty of pickup kits have the box and fenders molded as one piece....
Mark Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Revell's Fleetside box has the outer fenders and bed floor molded as one piece. Construction and alignment are simplified, but the way it is molded gives the effect of double-walled bed sides, which the 1:1 trucks did not have. The SMP/AMT annual kits got it more correct in this detail.
Mark Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Not to single out Revell...the AMT/Ertl '60 Fleetside (issued around the same time as Revell's '64) has its pickup bed designed pretty much the same way.
Harry Joy Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 1966 Chevy Fleetside Getting closer. I really want a 1970 Chevy pickup that I don't have to pay over a hundred for.

250 Testa Rossa Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Hopefully we'll get a '63 Corvette that's a full detail kit.
Edsel-Dan Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 The above is Why I call the 64 Shortboxe Fleetside a Cameo type and Not correct Fleetside Yes it make alignment simple, but does NOT repr4esent the actual design of the truckAnd Correct AMT's Modern Tool 60 Shortbox was done the Same way It gives the Fleetside box the Look of the CameoStepside box with the outer box sides/fenders attached For those who don't mind or care, it's no big dealI altered mine. It is Not that hard, though it took a Second pickup bed to do so.
Brett Barrow Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Hmmm... a few of us have been trying to convince them to do a Suburban on that 64-66 platform. Don't know if a reissue is a good sign or a bad sign for that coming true. I hope the Camaro has the hidden headlight grille. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Snap GT will be the new one. Judging by the stock number (85-1987) it's what they now call a "Level 2" snap kit, not the Level 1 Build N Play type. The old-style snap kits with clear headlights and more detail.
Snake45 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Hopefully we'll get a '63 Corvette that's a full detail kit.A full-detail '63 Vette is easily kitbashed for anyone who really wants one. I can think of at least two different ways to do it.

Don't know if a reissue is a good sign or a bad sign for that coming true. Yes a suburban would be really nice but it would render my R & R resin body useless
Danno Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 The R&R Suburban resin body is pretty close to useless on its own. IMHO.The roof and rear end just aren't right.
Mark Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 The R&R credo: "you're a modeler, you can fix it!"
ZTony8 Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 The R&R credo: "you're a modeler, you can fix it!"I can hear Ray Parson saying that.
Scott - Elm City Hobbies Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Few other ones I just saw listed as coming soon on my supplier's website1/25 2014 Mustang GT (Orange w/Black Stripe)1/25 2015 Corvette Stingray Foose Design (Silver/Black)1/25 2013 Challenger SRT8 Foose Design (Green/Black) I assume these are all the same as the models currently out there, just different color combos for the bodies, and in the case of the Vette and Challenger, Foose design wheels with them.
gtx6970 Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Getting closer. I really want a 1970 Chevy pickup that I don't have to pay over a hundred for.I picked up a real clean builtup 68 C10 last summer off ebay .Best I can remember I think it was less than $50 postage included .........you just have to be patiant
coaltrain Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Has anyone purchased the new release, Revell Kenworth w900 wrecker? (new box, blue and white)I purchased three of them from a mail order hobby shop, and all were missing the wrecker boom, over a hundred parts.
Allen Wrench Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Snap GT will be the new one.

I feel confident it's the new one because it's designated as a "GT" and not a "GT-40." Looking forward to that one.
martinfan5 Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I feel confident it's the new one because it's designated as a "GT" and not a "GT-40." Looking forward to that one. Same, will be getting one for sure.
