Rob Hall Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 If the '57 Ford is successful, maybe it will spawn variations down the road..a Ranchero or 2dr Ranch Wagon would be neat.

Aaronw Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 So how would this new '57 Ford be different from the old AMT kit (other than being new).

Wasn't there talk here about Revell creating an all new tool of a '57 Ranchero? The Custom would at least share a few parts with it, so maybe in a few years it's a possibility.

RickRollerLT1 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I heard if this '57 Ford sells well, we'll prolly see a Ranchero tool, and a Fairlane Convertable (crossing fingers!) To untie confusion here, the GMC wrecker that will be released next month is the old REVELL Caption Hook Snap-Tite kit from 1978 - last seen w/ generic decals in 1993. This GMC pick-up w/ snow plow is the Monogram kit that was last seen as a Chevy stepside (which is the same kit, but different badging and etc.) in 1995, but with the GMC parts restored and new? snow plow parts added (rumored to be from the rare 1980 Ford F-250 Monogram made)
RickRollerLT1 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) The '77 Chevy Van thats getting rereleased was NOT the one the combo pack from the 90s that had a racing boat and trailer, but was the Revell Charlies Angels kit with the stock van body restored (horribly). The Monogram kit hasn't been seen for many years since 1983. Edited October 22, 2011 by V-spec

Ok, I thought it looked about the same. If it is a base model I wonder what the chances are we will finally get a Ford I-6. I'd buy it just for the engine if they did.

What a great canvas for some space and galaxy murals. I gotta do a tribute to Frank Frazzetta. Yeah, the Death Dealer Chevy van! Which of Franks works are you thinking about Virgil?

Let's hope they remember to stretch that Fairlane to the 118-inch wheelbase instead of the Custom/Ranchero/wagon 116-inch wheelbase. Charlie Larkin

The Monogram kit hasn't been seen for many years since 1983. I think this is the van that was part of the Race Team combo issued back in the mid-90's- it had Chevy Ralley wheels and no windows except for the front doors. Looking forward to having this one back and that GMC truck is getting me thinking about how many I can buy and hide from the wife!
Tonioseven Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Just when I thought I was done buying kits. THESE are announced!! I see a couple of versions of the Olds with the new Pegasus wheels as well as the '57 Ford. LOTS of potential.
Jordan White Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Just noticed on the Revell site, for those who care, they are planning on re-releasing the '77 Chevy Wrecker at the end of this month! http://www.revell.com/model-kits/trucks/85-7220.html http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/rmx/rmx857220.htm
