Bennyg Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Here's my build review of the new Revell Porsche Tractor. Enjoy.
Phirewriter Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks for the review. While tractors are generally not something I would typically build this kit intrigues me.

Daddyfink Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Great review! Now I need to get me one! or two!!
mike 51 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 This kit has recently vanished from the Revell website (At least from the new products thread). I wonder what happened to it

I wonder what happened to it That's weird. And so is this: I just checked a big U.S. vendor. The Porsche tractor is not in stock yet, but the vendor has TWO different "place-holder" slots for it. With 2 different kit numbers and prices for Revell USA and Revell-Germany: Revell-Monogram USA: Kit #85-4485, price is $22.95 Revell-Germany: Kit #07820, price is $26.95 ??? I wonder what the difference is, if any. I know the 2 Revells sometimes release each other's kits with minor changes. Like the '05 Impala police car, which Revell-Germany re-issued with a real decal sheet and not the useless stickers in the U.S. kit. But that more than doubled the price of the Impala kit in the U.S., IIRC. Can't figure out what would cause the $4.00 difference on the tractor.
Rob Hall Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 There is going to be a Revell US rebox of it, the box art was shown here in one of the threads a while back. RoG kits imported into the US usually always have higher retail prices than Revell US releases.
Daddyfink Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I hope the U.S. issue is the same thing, I really like this kit and want another one!
niteowl7710 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 It likely came out and then disappeared quickly because there's that U.S. reboxing coming out in March. Importing a bunch of them at a marginally higher ($4) price would undoubtedly undercut their "own" product.
hpiguy Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 It's a nice kit indeed. It says "Tractor Series" on the US boxing, so I hope more are being planned.
57peppershaker Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Maybe a little rodders influence and........

I am interested to see what else there is to come in this series, too. It seems this whole "Porsche made a tractor!!??" frenzy only sprouted up within the last few years, and I hate to use the word "fad", but I have my doubts tractor kits are that much of an untapped market.
hpiguy Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Maybe the next one will be a Lamborghini tractor?

Ben Lamborghini Trattori is a separate company, unaffiliated with the car brand (same founder). I didn't realize they still exist and still make tractors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Trattori This 50s version would be neat in scale. Edited January 7, 2018 by Rob Hall

bbowser Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 That Lambo would be cool! I wish Round 2 would find the molds and reissue the John Deere and Massey Ferguson! They go for stupid money on eBay but there's probably not a big enough market?
Eshaver Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I would be VERY interested in a Ford 8-9N tractor

Those won't be reissued by Round2: Andy says: January 15, 2015 at 3:57 am Do the International 1466, Plow or Farm Wagon molds still exist ? Reply JohnG says: January 15, 2015 at 9:49 am If they do, Round 2 doesn’t have access to those – any Ertl AG related tools were not a part of the tooling we bought.
