Gilles....huge thanks for posting this news. 

SO.....does anyone know if the kit available now from any United States based source, or do I have to order one from a European mail order house?  If only the latter, any recommendations on who would offer the best price and/or quickest overseas delivery?

Thanks again...TIM

Salut Gilles,

Thanks for this important update. I saw your post on Koolest Kruisers (top flight French auto modeler's forum with some of the finest builders you can hope to see) where you remind us that although it includes the Deuce grill, the motor and wheels have been swapped between the ' 29 Roadster and the '30 Coupe kits since the original releases. This means no Halibrand mag wheels in this kit, correct? And of course the motor is a Buick Nailhead with Hilborn injectors as the high power option instead of a GMC blower and dual 4 barrel carbs.

Your right Bernard, no hallibrand wheels, for the coupe, you have to buy the 29 roadster to have them.

The motor is also the buick nailhead.

Tim, I was hope full to order one by my hobby shop as soon as I have the kit number, it can not been order from the web site in Europe neither yet.

Sorry, I didn't plan to ship some to US the cost of the package should value around 50 $ .

Any known U.K. supplier*?

My advice is that if you see them show up for sale, buy all that you will ever want NOW!  

TB 

The asian mentality is manufacture in batches. Whoa to those that want in between batches. Assume that you will never see another batch.

Bob, hope everyone out there in model car kit land is listening to us and is prepared to pounce when the '30A 5W Hot Rod Coupe kit here finally reemerges here in the States in and other markets across the world.....TIM

...and if it progresses the way many thing have, I still have a couple of first issue '30 Coupes in hand, waiting for that big online score!!!

Seriously, I hope we do see good distribution of the Coupe here, after all the time builders have waited to get their hands on these kits.

I am in full crouch mode waiting to pounce when these finally hit the ground here.

I haven't really had any trouble building up a stash of the 29s (got 10 plus in the stash now) so hopefully this kit is in similarly plentiful supply too...

Any recommendations for European dealers that have this in stock??

[Earl Marischal]

Or any UK ones, as buying from Europe is now a minefield. ?

Just picked up the only copy my local (Antwerp, Belgium) hobby shop got in today.

 

[OldNYJim]

One of you guys in Europe should buy a case or two of these and make some money shipping them to us impatient people in the US

How are you guys getting them? 

Nothing on the English or Irish sites either

Hmm, available since August huh... I am wondering if production is still in China, or if they moved it to Europe.

My hobby shop had one, and the minute I saw it on their website it was mine!

Luc, I'll put my car on the ferry to Cherbourg and drive up to you if you can find another one! lol

I just checked the websites of the hobby shops I sometimes buy from, and neither has them in stock or annouced as comming soon, guess for once I was lucky

 

[OldNYJim]

I noticed that some Australian stores have them up for pre-order already, with a release date of November...

[crossfire 2004]

I’ve just ordered the 2 remaining kits from a French supplier for a very reasonable €66 including shipping to the U.K., absolutely no idea if or when they will arrive, but it’s great to get the drop on you guys in the states occasionally. Lol

[dublin boy]

Well Revell is a German company now, so they appear in Europe first I suppose.

Just nice to see it back.
