Revell Big Tub is Alive and Well

[Gregg]

The rumors of Revell's Big Tub being canceled are false.

I just talked Roger Harney of Revell, they are working on box art now.

were there rumors of the big tub being cancelled?

because when i refered to something like that it was pure conjecture and not even that.

i hadnt heard any rumors.

Modern V-8 engine with three carburetors, quick-change rear end and large side exhaust. Steerable front wheels, Chopped "T" or '32 Ford grille shells and top up or open.

Choice of steel wheels with baby moons or 5 spoke mags. Vintage big and small tires along with drag slicks and wide white wall inserts.

Decals with retro "Big Tub" and hot rod graphics, plus flames and pin striping.

Molded in orange, white, black, silver and clear with chrome plated parts and soft black tires. Ignition wiring, tubing for fuel and brake lines plus rubber fan belt material.
