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

Just nice to see it back.

Right there with you, I'm ready to pounce this time around. 

[chris chabre]

Model Roundup now has it for pre-order for Nov.

The Revell Germany website lists the kit but will not allow U.K. residents to order directly “ as they no longer ship to the U.K. due to Brexit”.
They never told us that when we voted on the issue !

[dublin boy]

Still shows as not in stock Stuart, of course they'll post them to the UK, but you'll probably have to pay extra taxes now because of the Brexit stupidity.

If they actually won't, let me know, and I'll get one for you and post it across when they become available

Just pre ordered 6 of them?

[stavanzer]

I suspect they will go real fast from Stateside Importers. Get 'Em while you can.

I still have a couple of those Model A Coupes from the previous issue that all of a sudden became scarce. Don't know if I'll ever get around to building them as I'm in a building slump which has been going on for quite awhile, and my health issues may have something to do with it also???

[Zippi]

I just checked Model Roundup's site and they are available for pre-order but the November due date is not in stone.  $34.49 shipped.

[Zippi]

My local hobby shop said he has some on order but not sure on the arrival date.  I told him to hold one back for me.

[Chuck Kourouklis]

Goody gumdrops.

Got two of the originals and I'll just as greedily snatch a couple of these, now that we know it's got the Deuce shell and the Buick mill it should have started with.

'Cause it's not as if, y'know, you could swap parts between the original roadster and coupe or anything.

And so the internal dialogue goes...

Got one coming from a friend when it's released.  May put a Pontiac ohc6 in it. 

[stavanzer]

Now  THAT is a great idea for a Unique Build! 

OHC 6. That will stand out on the contest table.

That  would be a very neat build, Lee..

[Classicgas]

You've convinced me.  Ohc 6 it is!

I stopped by my local hobby shop yesterday and asked about the 30 Model A that is due in this month.  I have him holding one for me when they come in but was told he's not seeing anything being shipped and the due date is really unknown.  I'm hoping early Spring 2022.

The due date from at least one of my distributors was 11/02/2021 for RMX4464 ('30 Ford Model A Coupe 2n1) and yes, they had not received the kits as of yet. It was only last week that the Bronco half cabs and trailers hit my distributors and I could get them into my shop. Delays compound delays, unfortunately. Thankfully because new Revell product has at least been ON the shores in the past month, I'm inclined to believe we're not seeing a production issue pushing the kit back a whole quarter.

Sounds good.  Now if we can just find truck drivers to get them to their destinations.

Ahh, cool!  I have family in Akron (well, my wife does...) - I'll try and stop in some time!  Pity it's a 9 hour round trip from here or I'd come grab a '30 ?

[stinkybritches]

My preorder from Mega Hobby has shipped.

[OldNYJim]

Seems like a bunch of places are getting theirs today - one eBay seller had five at $27 shipped, and by the time I got the checkout they had sold ?

Found one to order anyway...
