Jon Cole Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Some great stuff there! Thumbs up for the Charger, and the Suburban will also be a "must have"!The windshield frame on the Foose Caddy looks strange, for some reason. Maybe all that silver at the base?Don't matter, I will definitely buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they bring out the Charger? They already have several releases of a Charger that looks almost identical. Give you an idea of why? Just because it's close doesn't mean it's anywhere near the same.I'm looking forward to REAL Foose cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 If you wouldn't mind reading the post again, Del, I didn't say I wondered why Revell brought it out - this is the company that brought out an almost entirely retooled '13 Boss Mustang just a few years after a very similar 2010. They just tend to do that sometimes.What I wondered was why the F100 got voted in by modelers when there were other more novel Foose subjects on the menu. But like I said, I'll take it. Whatever floats everybody's boat floats mine enough as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Kourouklis Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Well hey, the Eldorod was my big horse in the race, something we hadn't already seen a million of. So my goat's good and toasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) So, looks like I have to give you this one now, the new NASCAR glue kits look very cool, and it would be a very big understatment that I am excited. ( Ok blunc aka Mike Cassidy, I did it, just like I told you I would) good on ya, mate. Edited April 12, 2017 by blunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Looking closely at the 70'Charger R/T looks like a 440 car there is no Hemi Badging on the front fender ,in that case would be fine with me . and I to hope the door scoops are separate . so I can make my 70'Charger 500.

They'd have had to tool new side inserts for the body mold to integrate the scoops.And yup, you're articulating just what I've noticed.

Allen Wrench Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Foose F-100 and Eldorod are both gorgeous vehicles, IMO. I will happily buy and build both of those kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Chernecki Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Looking forward to the Foose F-100, not sure about the Eldorod. I sure hope they do more Foose cars down the road. Even though the Grand Master lost the vote, I would still like to see it done. A couple weeks ago I had a chance to see both the Grand Master and Madam X, both are gorgeous and amazing when you see them in person.

Daddyfink Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 But is chopped instead.Yeah, alright.But, does it look as bad as the original Revell kit? This is a custom truck, simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Yes, the Grand Master IS what I'm talkin' about, but lookie here -there's no denying the new Foose pickup will be leagues ahead of its forebear in design and builder-friendliness. Now that Revell has finally broken out some LIDAR on these (if they hadn't already on the C7 'Vettes), this kit's a lead-pipe cinch to represent its subject far more accurately than the old F100 does its. That Foose's truck is some sweet eye candy was never even questioned in the first place, and now that some of its more desirable features have been enumerated, I begin to understand the rationale a little better.But a little F T F Y is still in order:"Along (what're truly) the same lines of thinking: IS IT ANY WONDER they bring out the Charger? Revell offers several all-new Foose vehicles for modelers to choose, yet they pick one of the two in seven with antecedents in kits already produced. If that's all their customers want, why wouldn't Revell keep generating new tools of previously kitted subjects?"The F100 hasn't exactly been the part of this exercise to discredit that practice. Not really the sort of thing to encourage, say, a '51 Merc over a '49, by way of f'rinstance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Kourouklis Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Who, me? I already answered that. Twice.And it's got little to do with the point I'm making 'cause I buy just about any new automotive tooling from Revell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay then.We're getting different answers on the wheels, but I think I'd just like the Rallyes on the Charger better anyway. Did Hemi 'Cudas come with the Magnum road wheels?

Brett Barrow Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 This 70 Hemi Charger was delivered with 14" stamped wheels according to its build sheet, so I don't think 15" wheels are a must. http://1970hemicharger.com/build_sheet_decoded.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
