ubermodel Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Holy carp this is exciting news!Ā I haven't picked up a new release in years but have always kept an eye open for a new tool of a 70 Cougar Eliminator, 71-73 Cougar, 71-73 Mustang, and 68/69 or 70/71 Cyclone Spoiler. Prayers answered!Ā Ā Edited April 11, 2023 by ubermodel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Revell USA updated their cover photo on Facebook, so guess it won't be long now.... Also Robert Glucksman posted some photos from his box-art build there. Ā Edited April 11, 2023 by Luc Janssens 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Check out the Eleanor hood and ācorrectā mix of the 71 bumper and turn signals and 73 grille JUST like the modified movie car. Ā Iām guessing a 2024 release date and making a stock 73 Mach1 will not be that hard with just some parts swapping and hopefully they mold the larger 73 bumper just for fun. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be out in the 4Q of this year. It's just a couple of runners of parts that were already tooled up at the beginning. All this kit will be is swapping some inserts out with the Boss specific parts.Ā Edited April 11, 2023 by niteowl7710 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) 10 hours ago, Matt T. said: Are these test shots of the James Bond version?Ā Those look to be a Gone in 60 Seconds Eleanor version w/ the '73 grille and plain hood. Ā The Bond version will be a '71 Mach 1. Ā So at least 3 versions coming maybe... Ā Edited April 12, 2023 by Rob Hall 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, thanks for sharing this news! Iād bought a resin wheel set (hadnāt found a flat hood) and the AMT ā73 years ago but it seemed so ordinary it was going to be a waste of resources so I could never get started on it. This is a long term fanās dream come true! I also have to add that Iāve learned so much about the movie car from your posts Vamach1 (I think thatās what put me off starting the AMT š) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 12 hours ago, Matt T. said: Are these test shots of the James Bond version?Ā These are the āEleanorā parts but of course the wheels and the front bumper will be the same as the 007 Mach1 so in essence the grille and flat hood are the only non 007 parts.

vamach1 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Ā Revell just posted this test shot picture so presumably a stock 73 Mach1 will be in the pipeline too. Ā I assume this as Eleanor did not have the larger style 73 front bumper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Round2 lose the Bond license? Also is Revell thinking of doing the notchback body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Kourouklis Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Prob'ly also either non-exclusive or geographically based licensing.Ā Both Polar Lights and Revell AG have Mandalorian Razor Crest kits, por exemplo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Kourouklis Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 BTW, an Eleanor version - ??Ā The real one, not the later bad-taste Shelby ripoff Halicki's widow has fashioned into a shyster's delight?

Rodent Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Convertible version of a 71 with a 351 C or a 429 CJ would be amazing, but not holding my breath. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iangilly Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Saw the actual model this past weekend at a guy's houseĀ who was building the box art car, looks really sharp. Not a mustang guy but this kit is leaps and bounds above the mpc kit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
