Chuck Kourouklis Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 More interested in those for curiosity's sake than anything else, but yeah, I'll have some new plastic run through that tooling if they sell any. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the Mooneyes Dragster is a faithful reproduction, other than the original decals. The Scarlet Screamer has a Small Block Chevy engine, the upcoming Keeler's Kustoms Kent Fuller Dragster has a blown Pontiac engine. The Sanitary T Bucket has a blown Hemi engine, the upcoming Keeler's Kustoms Comp T Roadster has a blown FE 427 Ford engine. (I believe the blown Hemi from the Keeler's Kustoms Skorpion '53 Studebaker Funny Car may be adapted to accurately depict the Sanitary T Bucket) The injected Buick Nailhead engine in the Fumin' Fiat has been replaced with the blown FE 427 Ford and 6-2bbl carb Cadillaic engines in the Keeler's Kustoms Yellow Fever Fiat. I believe that the Thunder Charger may be replicated by kitbashing the Dragmaster chassis from Mooneyes with the blown Hemi from the Skorpion. Future release of the Bantam in the Keeler's Kustoms series remains to be seen. Anyone know what the second engines in the Keeler's Kustoms Kent Fuller Dragster and Comp T Roadster will be?

Atlantis has confirmed that the tooling for the Bantam is long gone and would require completely new tooling. The parts pack Hemi ended up in the Miss Deal (now Skorpion). I wonder whatever happened to the Nailhead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PintoKING Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Speaking of old vintage kits; I wonder what happened to Palmer molds. It is my understanding that Palmer (and Pyro) ended up with Lindberg, as per that youtube video: And since Lindberg is now Round2, and seems Round2 sold a bunch of old molds to Atlantis.....

Motor City Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Pyro made some nicely proportioned and detailed 1/32nd scale, multi-piece bodies. The kits could have used real rubber tires instead of molded plastic. I can't think of anything Palmer did that is worth doing. Some of their 1970s subject matter was interesting, but all of their kits were terrible and not true to scale.

The body and interior are really pretty good, it's just the MPC cribbed chassis and engine that come up short. ,, last seen as,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Maybe I missed it, but I wonder if Revell or Atlantis ended up with the Tom Daniels Street Vette? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dietgilroy Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 will they fix the proportions of the tri five Chevys or at least fix the fitment of the panels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The California Street Vette box was strategically placed among boxes from other kits known to be in Atlantis' possession in the background of one of their recent videos, showing off the test shots of the Revell 1962 Mopar kits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't built one of the tri fives since I was 16 or 17 but never had a problem with panel fitment just getting the chrome trim on the sides without glue every where !!!

LOL Fast forward a few decades, and I think the hot setup would be to strip the plating, attach the trim, paint, then BMF. Especially if you use the Bel Air trim on the '56.

Mark Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 The '55 Chevy is probably the "easiest" of the Revell tri-five Chevy kits to work with. Atlantis will have to tool another set of tires for it, as the '55 didn't get converted over to the (wider than original) two-piece hollow tires by Revell. Those won't fit, as the inner wheel houses on the chassis are quite narrow. One side is narrower than the other, something to watch for if you are working on one. The Revell Hot Rod magazine issue had wider tires and really wasn't buildable out of the box due to this. If Atlantis gets to the '56, they had better tool some new clear parts as the original front and rear glass falls through the openings in any issue past the mid-Seventies. I'm surprised they didn't at least tool a new rear glass for the '57 hardtop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
