You can’t tell the difference between the Easy Click E-Tron GT or tractors and a glue kit…

best,

Do easy-click kits have engine details? That's my favorite part of the build.

I'm more concerned with accurate proportions on the DB5 than whether it's a snap kit. I'm sure the aftermarket will come to the rescue for any missing details.

I'm glad to see the C8 coming out in some form. It would have been nice to have it early in the year, since the Z06 is already on the road and the Stingray is kind of last years news, but at least the C8 is coming just before the platform is retired.

For those that mentioned the 1/24 scale and it not being 1/25 like past Corvettes from Revell, remember that the past Corvettes were done by Revell USA, pretty much all the other manufacturers outside the US use 1/24, and the new Corvette is a Revell Germany release, so 1/24 scale.

It looks to be set to be a decently detailed kit, hopefully, but since the Etron was very nicely detailed for a Easy Click kit, I think the C8 will be more that adequate.

Revell seem to have a thing for gift sets. Would be nice if they offered just the kit as well like Heller.

they do, the first release is usually just the kit and its followed a couple months later by the gift sets

Bond gift sets are kit plus glue, paint. 
Sometimes double kits like E and XKSS, or some others. 
All Bond but DB5 and 71 Mustang are re-releases.

Looks like the Corvette will be available just in time for next Christmas.  Hopefully, this mean they're taking the time to get it right.

Considering Revell has been a few months behind on many releases recently, it could be 2024 before that C8 shows up, just in time for the refresh by Chevrolet.

i have been unable to find any information on the LA chopper. 

 

I was wondering when it was last issued??

I haven't seen any mention of this one yet, but I am SUPER stoked about the re-release of this.

I've been looking for reasonably priced versions of this kit for years, to no avail.

 

 

Will be grabbing a few of these.

In the 2023 catalogue they mention the following as new (not new tool):

14551 57 Chevy Bel Air
14552 76 Chevy Squarebody Street Truck

Any idea what kits they could be reissues of?
