Revell Chevy Van "Stranger things"

[Luc Janssens]

Just got a Revell newsletter which showed this Chevy Van in the Stranger Things series of kits.

Looking at the parts it's definitely not the old Monogram 1/24th tool, but new tooling. 

Anyway Van's are always a great canvas for decorative artwork.

This is definitely not the old Monogram Van, or the Revell one for that matter. I am very excited to get this one! 

From the site. 

"The vehicle has a key role in the 5th season of "Stranger Things". The car, often shown in connection with the main characters, is often used in the last season (season 5, episode 1 - 6). - Complete new tool - No engine contained - Vehicle of the TV series accordingly - wheels rotatable - building instructions and decal image according to the TV series"

Looks like it may have roots in the the old revell custom van molds.

The wheel and tire combo is kinda appealing.

No, this is all new. I thought the same when I saw the removable roof. But the body is way to accurate compared to the Revell vans.

Front end looks a little funky, grille is too high relative to the hood.

Old style promo chassis. Agree the sample hood / grille area is off compared to old AMT and Revell kits.

Wow- Stranger Things is giving us a lot of new tooling! Now I have to email the producers and convince them to give the ‘78 Magnum a starring role

So is the new tooling they didn't reveal earlier this year?

I'd bet it is.

I am well and truly disappointed then. Not only is it another Chevy van, the design choices for a full open kit and a slab chassis mean this one is about completely off my radar.

Amen, Brian!

A complete waste of my time.  The Goofed the Front End, and The slab Chassis just seals the awful deal.

I may buy the wheels when the eBay guys start parting out the kits.
