Revell GMC Van "Stranger things"

[Joe Handley]

Having grown up around a pair of Beauvilles, a ‘78 followed by an ‘87, I kinda want to get at least one to compare to the AMT and Monogram kits from that period!

Funny no one has said anything about this Radiator ( circled in red) Being a curbside kit. So there will be a full detail with engine sometime in late 2026 or early 2027???

Probably included because the grille is cast partially open...makes sense to have the radiator to see behind it.

IMHO its there because the grille is molded open.

At least it has some Chrome.

Was that taken at the IPMS Butch O’Hare Show yesterday?  That display looks like the one that was there yesterday.

Chris "Hpiguys" is building one!

His video will air this Wednesday (his words 😉 )

I’ll have to keep an eye out for that video, I liked what I saw of the kit at the Butch O’Hare show last weekend.

Anyone know what website has this available for preorder? Model Roundup doesn’t even show it as coming soon, and neither do my other go-to’s

I just jot done watching the first, newly issued half of Stranger Things 5. Although I wasn't excited at first when I discovered that the final S.T. model kit was going to be a GM van, especially when AMT already made one, I kinda want it now! After checking out most of my usual Canadian retailers, it seems that the ones who list it on preorder want 69,99$ CAD (50$ US) for this! 70 bucks for a curbside model with a toy-like slab chassis? I kinda want it, but I don't want it that bad, sorry. Then, checking out the pictures and infos, I realized it was a Revell Germany boxing, and remember they tried to pull the same shenanigans before with the Camaro, Blazer and Surfer Boy van,  listing preorders for the more expensive Revell Germany versions. But it backfired, because the Revell Germany versions arrived so late, that the more reasonably priced Revell USA kits already came out!!!! So I'm willing to bet that later on in 2026, we'll also have a Revell USA issue, so I'm putting my wallet aside and will wait patiently until then!
