Dave Van Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 My build was inspired by this car from the real 'Gone in 60 seconds'. I do not like the vinyl top....but now that the kit is coming back I may build it too......

No. The box art shows the Cragar S/S wheels will be included. Basically the same 3'n'1 kit as the last time, but maybe larger diameter low rider wheels and tires this time?: Edited July 22, 2020 by Casey

I wish they would pull the wire wheels are low pro tires from the monte ss kit and use them across the board .

Those on the box are the ones I was hoping would be included.

Dale Gribble Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Nobody gonna point out they are using Monogram branding on the elco??

I got some chrome baby Moons from the Revell '57 Chevy Bel Air kit that might look great on the '62 Impala....?? Edited July 22, 2020 by Deuces ll

Monogram developed the kit originally so not surprised. And for historical purposes, Monogram has been 1:24 scale while Revell has been 1:25 scale, probably the easiest way to tell who developed a kit when it comes to those two companies.

If you're talking about the original version of this movie, I haven't seen it since it came out in 1974. My brother and I thought there were a lot of cool (sorry, Chad!) cars in it.

Agreed.....and I made custom chrome Sebring logos for it.....but on that light blue...hard to see!

niteowl7710 Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 The "re-use" of the Monogram name is already hit or miss under the revised management. I too pointed out the use of the Monogram logo on the El Camino when it was announced back in the Spring as to maybe keeping the proper scale heritage to their models, and Casey promptly rained on that parade by accurately pointing out the reissue of the '86 Monte Carlo SS was branded as a Revell kit. But then the Grand National was a Monogram labeled kit. And on and on this inability to pick a branding for 1/24 kit continues... ?

And then there is the RoG origin 1/24th items, that are reboxed for the US as Revell, like the Land Rover recently was.

Is the Monogram brand being done away with in your opinion? I do see it on the Elcamino.. Edited July 23, 2020 by slusher

Motor City Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 the same situation as MPC branding used on kits that originated as AMT - or vice versa

Dave, How were you able to do that? The supervisor that my brother and I reported to had bought a '71 Satellite Sebring Plus in '74. It was a root beer color with a white top. It was pretty nice.
Dave Van Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 The chrome emblems????? I have a ALPS that is still limping along.....it can print actual chrome foil.
