Perspective Customs Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 So there's 3 versions of this kit? The Revell site shows Product #07699 and Model Set Product #67699. Tower Hobbies is showing the Carrera Revell version #RMX 14512. All with different prices. Anyone know what the difference is between the 3?

Otherwise it should be the same kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is the US boxing. Then there's the standard Euro boxing and the one with paint, brushes and glue included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instruction sheet/paint guide is done in the worldwide/10 language format and the decal sheet has 72 individual decals. Apparently, US kit builders are to follow the UK (Great Britain) language key. Future Revell kits are reportedly to follow the same approach.

vamach1 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Has anyone in the USA received a kit yet from a recent order (regardless of which company). The online shop I ordered them from last month still shows them as not in stock. I’ve seen a few online shops on Ebay showing they have them ready to ship.

tim boyd Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I will be really interested in hearing the reactions of those of you who get the kit in your hands in the next several weeks, as well as those who complete early builds of the kit itself (one piece of advice for those who do build....follow the instructions really closely....and if something doesn't seem to fit right, rather than try to modify the part, look at the instructions a second time...) Best...TIM 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the extra shroud thinner? The 429 had a noticeably thinner one so perhaps it’s for the Mach1 version that’s sure to follow.

I believe so..the descriptions I've read of the Bond kit says 429... it was unusual in that it was a stripe delete car..hopefully, Revell will provide Mach 1 striping in the kit (or maybe save those for another release down the line).
