Fat Brian Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Wow, that GTX is awesome and they went to the trouble of making bigger rear wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Definitely want both of these..... Edited February 25, 2020 by larman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapSat 6 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) It would be fantastic if Revell tooled up the correct ‘72 bumper for the F&F GTX. Edited February 25, 2020 by CapSat 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) The GTX has the standard , Road Runner & GTX-style bonnet from the 1971 "Satellite" kit of decades ago --- nice to see it return ! Would like to see the standard tiller from that same Satellite return as well . I can't believe that the Chevelle was already updated to a 1969 model ! Hopefully a COPO version isn't far behind .

Roadrunner Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The SS 396 really appeals to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a COPO version isn't far behind . COPO wouldn't be hard to convert at all. You can have yours on the shelf LONG before Revell does one. Back in the '70s, I started building a "Countdown" AMT '69 Chevelle reissue as a detailed 300 2DS SS396 conversion. Time to revive that idea as soon as I get my hands on this new one!

Plowboy Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 No interest in the GTX. But, I'll have to have at least two of the '69 Chevelles. One for myself and one for my older brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't make much new tooling these days that they don't plan ahead, putting more parts into the tooling that will allow them to make multiple versions of the kit from the same tooling. Just like the '29 and '30 Ford. There are parts on that tooling that hasn't been shown yet so that can make multiple versions of the kits, more than just swapping engines and wheels.

I love the idea that they are coming out with the 69 it will have the detail that the AMT did not have and it was in the cards when they did the very long awaited 68 they made the removeable rear end caps I knew the 69 was not to far behind and I will get a couple of theses kits but I hope they do not stop making the 68 we in the model building world waited way to long for that to come back to the bench I got 4 of these kits looks like I will have to pick up a couple more just incase.!!! and as for the 68 I am hopping so good resin guy will come up with a 68 300 hard top trans body with a bench seat for that kit hint hint.!!!!

Fat Brian Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I can't image the won't do the 68 again, that would defeat the point of making a tool with multiple versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you could use from the Chevelle would be the grille/front bumper, hood, engine & underhood detail, dashboard, windshield, maybe seats. Everything else would have to be new.

Or, a kitbash between the AMT '68 Elky and the new Revell '69 might be possible, which isn't using the AMT '69. But rest assured, one of the two of them will be bringing out a '69 Elky. I know this for a fact because I recently spent eBay buck$ to buy, and several hours of careful tedious work to restore/rescue, an original AMT '69 Elky. You're welcome.

Have to swap the dog houses as there's a sizable difference in width between the Revell '68 Chevelle and the AMT El Camino. One might be able to swap the header and hood between the two. I hope the '69 grille fits better than the '68 did. Also hope they fixed the dash and door panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize that, though I knew that the "new" AMT '68 Elky is wider than the old AMT '69 Chevelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolf Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (Remove if not allowed) For you Chevelle fans, Untamed Youth did a killer version of Paul Revere and the Raiders song, SS 396. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
