Casey Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Looks like the 1/25 Revell F&F Ford F-150 SVT Lightning kit is now out and available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Picked one up this past weekend at my LHS. I was surprised to see it. Looks like a stock Lightning with new decals. Maybe I'll finish this one.... Edited November 16, 2021 by SSNJim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 So, JIm. Did Revell add in any new parts, or is this just a 'decal only' upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I want one to go with other FnF models!! Thx for the info!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see any new parts, but I haven't looked at the original issue kit in a long time, and there are no optional parts. It seems to be a box stock Lightning with the F&F decals to me. All the stock decals are still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Wagon Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Considering the pickup in the movie was a stock Lightning with Racer’s Edge door decals... I wouldn’t expect the kit to be anything more than a stock lightning with Racer’s Edge door decals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Fair Enough, then. Thanks for taking the trouble, fellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Metallic Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Glad that Revell finally did the work for me instead of having to make my own decals. This has been a no brainer for nearly 2 decades, glad they finally got the licensing lined up with the demand cycle for this kit. Isn't the movie truck lowered a little? Doesn't really matter because I can handle the mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Interesting, though it's Brian's truck, Dom/Vin is on the box art...guess they couldn't license Paul Walker's likeness from his estate.

stavanzer Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Rob, I think the Dom/Vin pic was chosen because it is more familiar now. It will sell more kits, IMHO. But, You could be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Brian / Walker on the box would not be good. I think there is still litigation going on around his crash/death. Understandable why they passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 This kit needed boxes, a strap and a Miata bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I have this one on the bench right now. Not because I'm a FF fan, but because I'm a Lightning fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re building it as a stock Lightning, keep in mind the tires in the kit are a little bit under-sized. I haven’t found a good replacement, but if you don’t mind doing some minor modifications to the Lightning rims, and the rear tires being a little bigger than the fronts, then the low profile tires that come in the Revell ‘65 Chevy stepside kit are an option that fill the wheel wells a little better.

The wheels and tires are totally undersized for sure. I 3D printed a new set that fit much better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I remember emailing Bob Johnson a couple years before Revell got bought up and asking him if they'd consider doing this. He just said to wait it was coming. I guess they finally got around to doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
