I'd gladly send a Revell 32 shell for you to scan Those bars won't be a problem to print I successfully printed a 1:32 Hilborn scoop the other day with the fuel lines intact. Delicate but there.

Is the 5W still in the Revell catalog? I was thinking of fitting it to the about-to-hit-the-shelves 32 roadster out in Europe already). I'm assuming the 5-window grille (and all Revell tools before it since they are all the same tool) and the new roadster grille would be the same size, but I will verify that first. Hate to have to do two different versions, but if they are in fact different that would be your call. I'll try to get a comparison made tonight and let you know.

Texas_3D_Customs Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 Looking at scalemates, looks like even the new roadster coming up is the same basic tooling since like forever ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rat Roaster (on which the new roadster is a modified reissue) was an all new tool when it came out. Designed to be compatible with the previous Revell 32 series kits, but some things were changed. 99% sure the grill parts should be the same dimensionally, but I want to confirm that for you first.

Mr. Metallic Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) On 9/22/2022 at 1:55 PM, Texas_3D_Customs said: I agree Grills are essentially the same. I fit a first issue roadster (25 years old now 😵) grill into the new shell, but I did have to make a swipe down each side with my sanding stick. Removing the chrome was enough to allow it to snuggle into the new shell. So that would mean the old shells are fractionally larger, which would allow a grill designed to fit the new shell to easily fit the old shells. If you need a new shell and/or old shell for scanning or whatever let me know. Edited September 27, 2022 by Mr. Metallic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rastta Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I would really like the 60-66 GMC grill so that I can make a GMC out of the 60 Chevy Fleetside kit. The dash would be great too 🙂 Don't need the tailgate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadhawg Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Not so much a grill as bumpers.....front and rear bumpers for the '57 Chevy kits WITH bumper guards, which have never been offered in a kit..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitchdup Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Not a grille as such but a couple of vw accesories for the vw t1. a push bar and roof mounted spot light. I have a hasegawa van front i can send you and it would fit both it and the revell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is possible but I am going to need some verified interest in this, I don't mind doing custom work when I have time, but a one off that nobody else wants is going to be a bad idea for someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
