JJ Deuce Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) kinda interested in that Edmund Fitzgerald kit, but I looked it up on their site and it's like an elementary school project. Edited January 10, 2019 by JJ Deuce looked it up

Mr mopar Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Just seen this on FB Atlantis found this mold ?
Casey Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Exploded view drawings, hints of going through the mold...all good signs. The 1/8 '55 Chevy Bel Air begins now. Edited January 10, 2019 by Casey
Dave Van Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 I\d be in for a few of those V8 kits in 1/8 scale......
Greg Myers Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) All the engine parts for all the Monogram Big Tee kits, and then some, i.e. Hilborn injection, Potvin front drive blower, stock four barrel. Edited January 10, 2019 by Greg Myers
Bugatti Fan Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Dave I wish I could find a basket case Renwall Virgil Exner Bugatti. Been looking for one to restore/renovate and give to the Bugatti Trust Museum here in the UK. Seen mint kits on ebay….way too expensive for a pensioner like me.
250 Testa Rossa Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Any chance they will bring the Uncertain-T back?
Ben Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Saw on Tom Daniel’s Facebook that they’re bringing back the Lil Red Baron and The Ghost of Red Baron.

The Corvair Shuttle should be my collection soon. I hope. Another I'm looking forward too. I love those old kits that speculated on future space travel. As I've mentioned this before, I was sure as a kid, that I was going to be an astronaut. And had many great dreams of flying these type of vehicles.
Dave Van Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Tom Daniel reports that Atlantis has Unreal Roller tooling.....just a FYI but read between the lines!!!!
Richard Bartrop Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I find things like the Convair Shuttlecraft way cooler than the Star Trek and Star Wars models, because this was about people trying to design real spaceships. Edited February 25, 2019 by Richard Bartrop

GaryR Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Interesting space stuff, but what about car models. I am not interested in Daniels stuff at all. What else did they get?

IF they have some fords or GM molds it will take a expensive license to run them. Right now Atlantis is trying to get some products out without big license fees.

Daddyfink Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 I am so happy to see these kits coming back after so many years! Well done, Atlantis!!
Robberbaron Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I don't recall ever seeing the R-M branded engine parts packs in stores - probably was during my "modeling hiatus". Anyone know if these were still molded in America? If so, let's hope Atlantis got the tooling (can't see the Germans being too interested in these...)
Eshaver Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Aurora had cars like the James Bond Aston martin DB-5 , Studebaker Avanti, might be interesting to have them again . I know they were difficult to work with , but we have better adhesives as opposed to 1965 too

I know they're not in the same scale. But, that's not the point to me.
Spex84 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 From what I've heard, the Revell parts packs weren't hot sellers even at the time. Re-issues of the engines are still pretty easy to find, and even the harder-to-locate parts packs don't tend to sell for much more than they would new, at today's prices...still, I'd love to see 'em anyway!

According to Spotlight Hobbies and Mr. Internet in general, the R-M engine Parts Packs were re-issued in 1998. The copyright notice on the box also says "1998," and lists the addresses for both Revell USA (Morton Grove IL) and Revell-Germany. No mention of where they were molded. As I remember, the re-issued engines didn't sell any better than the originals. I still have a couple from a Los Angeles hobby shop with red "Discount" tags on them. For anyone who might need to know, here are the Revell part numbers for the re-issued engines: 85-7251: Chevy 283 85-7252: Cadillac "354" 85-7253: Pontiac 421 85-7254: Ford 427
Dave Van Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I bought a case of each of the Revell parts packs, 6 in a case, for about a buck per pack.....so not hot sellers......but they are very 1960's era themed and a little out of date.
