Very cool!  Anyone know if they have a Mustang in the works?

[gasman]

Looking forward to them, But these are already out of date, I hope they are planning on doing the 2022 car as well

Not w/o FORD license...........There is a number of tools sitting in Salvinos vault that they could run but they have yet to get a SORD license of any kind.

Very cool.. I hope these don't cost more than their other kits but I have a feeling they will.

That is their plan as well.

Very cool, looking forward. Start saving now Gents

I hope they get them right

I'm not really into NSACAR, just not my thing; but I might consider getting one of these cars or maybe the 2022 cars.

Now, if we could just get some modern Indy cars, that would be great, but I don't see that hapening.

I would love a modern Indy car or modern F1 kit.  I think Indycar is picking up a lot of fans who have become disillusioned with Nascar.  More IMSA prototypes on the order of Tamiya's Toyota T050 would be cool as well.

I commend these guys as a new, currently smaller firm being able to get all the licenses they have. Hopefully if they want a Ford license they can get it.  They are building themselves a nice track record.

So, hypothetically speaking & I realize no one has actually seen the kits yet; but how difficult do you think it would be to adapt a Mustang or Charger body to these race chassis?  To be completely accurate, you'd need to swap the engine as well; but it's an interesting thought experiment.

Mustang or Camry...there hasn't been a Charger in NASCAR in 10 years when next season starts...should be adaptable from the resin bodies that were created to fit the last Revell SS/Fusion kits. Salvinos is keeping with the tradition of the kits being in 1/24, not sure what the wheelbase differences are between the SS and Camaro chassis, that would be the biggest issue, since you can always trim to add material to get it to fit front/rear.

If Jim & Rick are really going to make EVERY Petty car ever driven, they've said that is a goal, they'll need a Ford license some day to make the Torino. Amortized across a 2021 Mustang, Gen 6 Mustang, and the older Monogram Thunderbirds they have the tooling to...you'd think it would be affordable in the long run.

Yes, the Mustang & Camry are raced in NASCAR, but I was thinking, again hypothetically, if Dodge were to enter NASCAR again, they would probably race the Charger or Challenger.

It would be nice if Salvinos could get the Ford licensing.

[Dave Van]

Current 2021 chassis is the same across makes. SO add FORD engine and body and you have a correct 2021 Mustang..IF...IF you get the OK from Ford.....which often they grant very cheap or free.  A number of racing Ford kits that Revell Monogram did were licensed for free or even part paid by from FORD.....wanting to get product in front of consumers.

They lied to us! ?

Makes sense, business wise. Though with that new car we all know it will go through changes as Nascar tweaks the design.

SO.....is the promised 2021 Camaro NASCAR Cup car NOT going to be done???? When I spoke out that it seemed odd to kit a car that would be obsolete by the time it hit shelves....I took a real beating as being negative........?

The 2021 would make no sense, as the 2021 season is almost over and a new car is coming for 2022.

EXACTLY what I said back when the 2021 version was announced.....yet I got beat up for that opinion, and doubted the 2021 would happen.....looks like it will not!

The Gen 6 car is pretty much off the table from SJR for the foreseeable future.

It was said they will only do the Gen 6 cars if they can get the tooling from Revell

Where are those CAD drawings posted?, in the Salvino's Group page ?

[Dave Van]

The Revell Chevy SS tooling is in China and 49% owned by the Chinese Govmt.......a very difficult web to untangle. They would come out cheaper cloning the Revell kit.....I'll provide the kit if they want.

Except we've been getting models like this in the past and they sold just fine. I have no problem with this because building these represents a piece of history but maybe business decisions and modelers have changed their thoughts?
