Zoom Zoom Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 That would be interesting..I'd love to see a DS and SM in 1/24th.. Amen to that. There have been so many 2CV kits...I would have preferred the earlier version as well, but an SM would be great. At least the DS is finally represented in 1/24 scale, if not kits. Quattroruote had a 4 door in their series a couple years ago, and Welly currently does the cabriolet, in open or closed-top versions. I'd love to see a Tamiya or Revell AG DS or especially SM. Or BMW 2002...or 3.0CSi...or any number or popular subjects that haven't been done to death like 2CV's.
Chuck Kourouklis Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Roger that. DS would be very cool. And the BMW 1600-2002 is long, long overdue for some love - you'd figure if a Trabant could get two treatments from Revell AG, a 2002 could get at least one.

And the BMW 1600-2002 is long, long overdue for some love - you'd figure if a Trabant could get two treatments from Revell AG, a 2002 could get at least one. Yes, please! (And as long as we're dreamin' about European kit subjects, why not a VW Thing or Squareback kit?)
Eshaver Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Given todays market , I could perhaps see a Ranchero kit or a 56 F-100 probably with the "Optional" Big window and Custom Cab option . As much as I would love to have a Country Squire wagon, I can't see Revell investing in such a limited subject as demographics have changed so much over the years ..... Ed Shaver

It is for all intents and purposes the car that put BMW on the road to where they are now. I have personally suggested the 2002 to Revell Germany for many years. It seems like such a no-brainer. I wonder if its a licensing issue.
Dave Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Interesting...well, they did do a 1:32nd kit of the '07 Shelby a few years ago, so maybe they are trying that scale again.. Someone had test shots of the 1/12 Mustang at NNL East and If I remember they thought September for that release.
CEKPETHO BCE Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Well here's a fun bit off the "getting started" tab at Revell.com, anyway: A 1:32 2010 Mustang?? When did this come about? But that 1:32 is finished just like one of the initial 1:25 build-ups, isn't it? So maybe they just reduced the size of the pic for illustration's sake... Does anyone know how much the 1:12 Shelby will cost?
Rob Hall Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 Does anyone know how much the 1:12 Shelby will cost? I've seen it online for preorder around $50...I figure a hobby shop will probably mark it at $65 or so..
Gregg Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Here are some of the new releases in Test Shot state from GSL:
LOBBS Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Here are some of the new releases in Test Shot state from GSL: Argh, that looks like an auto tranny on the 2010 Camaro. I was hoping for an updated LSx motor/T56 tranny so I could quit raiding Revell's '02 Camaro for pro-touring goodies.

Not only did ROG do two Tribants they did a whole series in slot car form with Tribants, NSU's and some other small car. When I was on the slot car boards their was a big deal with them not making a 2002 or 1600 to go with them. When that was going on a ROG rep said they tried but he wouldn't state what exactly was the issue that stopped them from producing one. Edited May 12, 2011 by ra7c7er
Dr. Cranky Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Wow, those are all great, but I can't wait for that 48!

I was hoping for an updated LSx motor/T56 tranny so I could quit raiding Revell's '02 Camaro for pro-touring goodies. Why not resin cast what you need? That way you would only have to raid an '02 once for as many as you need. Just a thought.
LOBBS Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Why not resin cast what you need? That way you would only have to raid an '02 once for as many as you need. Just a thought. I've had a master of the T-56 tranny for years. I've emailed several casters and have never found anyone willing to cast it for me.
Jeff Johnston Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I can't wait to build the Mustangs and the Camaro. Very exciting !
The Creative Explorer Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Anybody know a good place where I can pre-order the 1/12 mustang? I tried Hobbylinc, but those people are so dumb, they don't deserve my hard-earned money. I need a place that will ship international.
The Creative Explorer Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks, I tried them actually, but I couldn't find it with them just yet. It is not in their list of coming soon.
Luc Janssens Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Here are some of the new releases in Test Shot state from GSL: I don't know about you guys, but I find Revell is doing a great job, just look at the under-body & -hood detail from the '10 Camaro, and the engine bay of the '10 Mustang coupe..... and this all at roughly half the price of a Tamiya curbsite. Thanks for showing these photo's Gregg!!
jbwelda Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 yeah i have to agree, Revell has really been putting out some great new tool models the past couple years.
Luc Janssens Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Well, my friends, I'm happy to say I was incorrect about the 2CV being the older (but still excellent) Airfix/Heller offering. Thanks to our friend Luc Janssens, it is confirmed that the Revell Germany 2CV is an all-new, full-detail kit representing a 1981 edition of the car. While this is good news, I still find myself wishing for an older, 1953 or so version of the Deux Chevaux in 1/24 scale. Maybe some day....! Was surfing on the Revell Germany site and found this.....
niteowl7710 Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Was surfing on the Revell Germany site and found this..... For those of us not up on our German...here's the English site. http://www.revell.de/en/products/model_kits/services/info_channel/picture_galleries/galleries/?&L=1 Also the actual catalog shows it as being a 1983, rather than a 1981, which I assume is a potato/patato type thing, since I doubt there was was any styling movement in those 2 years... Wasn't something that was on my radar, but "new tooling" and "full detail" peak my interest on odd-ball subject matter like that, much the way the Trabant did. Although, gotta say I am much more eagerly awaiting that Audi R8 Spyder.
Zoom Zoom Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Is it just me, or can one only see ridiculously oversized photos of the 2CV with no way to save the photo and view it at a normal screen size?
gasman Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 The R8 Spyder looks excellent. really happy too see it has an uptop. hopefully they'll do the SLS AMG Roadster too.
Darin Bastedo Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Is it just me, or can one only see ridiculously oversized photos of the 2CV with no way to save the photo and view it at a normal screen size? Here ya go
