Repeated gating and ungating the tooling, especially on something thaylt's so old already, to release the Parts Packs in different ways is way more expensive and labor intensive than running the tooling wide open and then clipping the "offending" parts off and throwing them into the recycling hopper to be ground into more styrene.  

NOooooooooooooooo

There is definitely some interesting stuff happening, or has the possibility of happening.

And I want a Snoopy plane.

Can that LaSalle be built even sort of stock?

Atlantis new releases for 2021.  I'm interested in the 1/32 reissues of the Buick & Cadillacs.

 

[Snake45]

Couple interesting things in that list. Thanks for posting it!

You've been hinting at that one for awhile. ? Glad to see it's finally happening.

Was I THAT obvious?!?!?!?! Yes...I was!!!  I thought that the kit was issued once, no vinyl tires.....and if need be issue it w/o chromed, easy reissue. But the GREAT chrome in the Chopper I am sure UNREAL will get it too! thx

[Richard Bartrop]

Lots of interesting stuff on that list, though the amoeba kit is the one that really caught my attention.

26 is the Wright Cyclone Radial kit #M2401, 27 is Boeing 707 Kit#H246, 28 is Conviar 990 Airliner kit # H254.  I mistakenly cropped the pages too close, but didn't think too much of as those kits are outside the scope of the forum!

[the other Mike S.]

The only one that interests me on that list is the '57 Eldorado Brougham in 1/25th scale.  However, I'm thinking that's probably a typo and it's really 1/32 scale.  Meh.

[ChrisBcritter]

Well, well - wonder if the '56 Buick's grille will be put back to stock? I wish them luck engineering glass for that one and the Eldo; roof fit on the Buick isn't an exact science...

I'm happy to see they're selling the new glass for the White fuel tanker as a separate item, although they won't be doing it for the Chevy stake truck.

Revell only did the Eldo Brougham in 1/25, so you're good to go.

[ChrisBcritter]

Whole list, full size in three easy-to-read pieces:

Fast turnaround on the old '57 Chevy hardtop; there probably are some of the Ed Roth edition still in hobby stores.

O/T, but I'll probably pick up that 1/48 JN-4 Jenny and the Convair 990 at least.

H1825 moonship spacecraft;  I LOVE those old space kits.

The top one for me on that list would probably be that Eldorado Brougham, followed by the '56 Caddy and Buick

Same here. I keep hoping the molds for the old Revell Space Station show up.

[Mr mopar]

Some good stuff here ............. Just go to show you that  these old molds are still  around , Revell & Monogram had stashed away in a dark corner of there warehouse.

Are the 2 1/16 Scale Vega Funny Cars from the Aurora tools?

Thanks. Did they get all of the 1/16 Revell Funny Car molds like the Grand Am etc?

[stavanzer]

I see that there are 5 Ex-Lindberg kits in the mix. 

1. Curtiss Jenny 1/48

2. Civil War Monitor/Merrimack

3. Amoeba Kit.

4. SSN 571 Nautilus Nuke Sub

5. WW2 Gato Class sub. (which If I remember correctly, is the oldest Plastic Kit in the USA. Tim Boyd did an article on it in FSM, several years ago. Unbelievable, that tooling that originated in the 1940's, is being issued 20 years into the 21st century)

Besides the Eldorado, those two airliners are of the most interest to me on that list.

The 990 was one of the fastest liners ever made. Near supersonic. Only liners faster were the Concord and it's Russian cousin.

Although it's mostly a car forum, most of us build other subjects from time to time as well.
