Hey all,

Revell of Germany has announced their 2007 releases, and there are a few interesting surprises and, as usual, something new for our truck modeling friends:

1/24 Audi R10TDI LeMans Winner (NEW TOOL) - May 2007

1/24 Audi R8 Supercar (NEW TOOL) - September 2007

1/24 Ferrari 250GTO (Italeri Tool) - June 2007

1/24 Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano (NEW TOOL) - January 2007 (will also be released by Revell USA)

1/25 Corvette C6R LeMans (Revell USA tool) - March 2007

1/24 Schlingmann HLF 20/16 (NEW TOOL) - September 2007

1/24 Scania R500 (Italeri tool) - January 2007

1/12 Aces Wild Chopper (Revell USA Tool) - February 2007

1/12 Crusader Custom Chopper (Revell USA Tool) - May 2007

I'm already placing a backorder for at least half a dozen 250GTOs. That kit has been sorely missed....!

Bill, I couldn't agree more. The classic GTO kit was way overdue for a reissue.

Hopefully, Revell Germany can also pry the California Spider, 250SWB, 275 GTB/4, and 275GTS NART Spider free from Italeri and bring them babies home to papa!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going out shortly, but I can photos of the kit I have downstairs later today. I also have the Protar 250 GTO, MFH 250 GTO and Gunze 250 GTO (curbside).

Here's a photo of part of my Ferrari stash:

OK, I gotta ask, are those wheels from the kit or are they aftermarket? Where can I get them? On either Fowler's or Geary's car.

Greg, my wheels were handlaced wires from CMA (Creative Miniature Associates). Unfortunately, they're no longer available..............I originally built this model back in 1996-97.

Detail Master makes some excellent Borrani wires as shown here on my Italeri 250 SWB...........

Wheels could use a little cleaning..............but the model is 9 years old now! :)

Those wheels are two piece, plus the knock-off, and are right from the kit. I used different tires because the kit's "Dunlops" are a bit on the chunky side. When I first built the car, I used a set of Revell Goodyear big n littles, but just before these pics were taken, I swapped those for a set of tires from the recent Hasegawa Lamborghini Miura (which will be shod with the Goodyears).

At any rate, it's nice to see this kit again, and it would be sweet to see all of Italeri's front engined Ferrari kits again, especially the 250 SWB!!
