[Justin Porter]

Apparently, at least according to Stevens International, the return of the '70 Torino Cobra is just one piece in a slate of good news for in-bound Revell reissues.

as mentioned in the past, a 1970 Ranchero GT or Wagon would be a kool
addition with the Revell tooling. Even a convertible would be nice ! I've
always loved this kit !!! ??
 

They both need the Cobra Jet hood....?

Thx Eric.  I had not heard that before.  TB 

There was also a problem with the width.. It was small... The hood in my Pro-Modeler kit was anyway...?

I didn't have any issues that I can recall with my hood and shakers fitting on both of my builds. Also, it is rumored to have the Twister Special decals in it!

That's great news indeed and shows that despite the small crew in charge of US releases, the passion is there, and can only applaud that! Anyway put me down for two!

For those of you who do not know, Raoul (Sport Suburban) has an awesome youtube channel called ‘the muscle car modeler’

What are folks' preferred sources for Ford Calypso Coral paint that would be needed for the Twister Special?

I'd check Scale Finishes or MCW. One or both will likely have that colour.

Vermillion was the other name for Calypso Coral .

I left him a message stating that the twister decals needed to be added with those side stripes....

[Hard_2_Handle_454]

Finished mine last night.  I did have the shaker hood problem.  Ended up just gluing the shaker to the hood and I had to remove the carb to make the hood shut.  Had a little trouble getting the front and rear end on as well.  Didn't remember that issue with my last one.  Hope to post the pics soon.  It's mine and my dad's birthday weekend, so I've been busy. 

 

I really like how the ones others have doe came out.  I wish mine looked that good.

[Mike C.]

Can't decide if I want to build one of these as I already have a few of them already wired and detailed in 1/18 diecast.

There is only one body for both kits.  The previous issue of the Cobra used the GT body, the instructions mentioned having to remove the trim.

[Merkur XR4Ti]

Yes, I'm working on mine now and it took less than 5 minutes to sand off the GT louvers on both sides of the body.

Why? Twisters were only in Calypso Coral, so the color wouldn't match either. I assume he used the side stripes because he wanted to and they looked cool, which is all the reason anyone needs.

Does this current release come with the photo etch pieces?
