Nick Winter Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Got these two I guess Friday, they were sitting underneath my truck when I got home lastnight, bought these from a friend, both were sealed. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I picked up another Revell Hemi Dart kit at my local Michael's store and was able to use a 50% off coupon. I need the kit to replace the one I'm raiding for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I got these two on the stoop today. The Z8 I built in HS, but I forgot that it's curbside. Bummer for sure but I'll build it.. And I got the Indy Stealth so now I have two stealth kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have thought about getting that Z8 kit, but heard its not a great kit, maybe you will build it in the CBP so I can see it , I have always like the Stealth, the AMT stealth kits are pretty decent as well. Here is what I got today, Revell C6 R vette, I knew it was a curbside, but wow, what a waste of a kit for the most part, glad I only paid $14.99 for it. Oh well, still going to build it, hoping to have done for this weekends 24 hour Le Mans race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdurg Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Today, in the mail I got a proper 6-speed manual transmission for an LT4 Corvette engine, along with some other engine pieces and decals for my 1996 Grand Sport build. Thank you so much TurboKitty! The Monogram kit, for some reason, comes with an automatic transmission for this kit which is completely wrong as the Grand Sport was NEVER offered with an automatic transmission. But now I have the proper tranny for this kit and it's going to turn out wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 the Z8 has some design quirks. If you glue the rear lower pan on prior to painting you really have to work to get the body over the chassis i remember. The interior has lots of room for detail though which is a plus. That C6 has NO ENGINE at all?? the C5 engine is great. If you got some leftovers to trade you can have my chassis and engine pieces from the C5 if it fits under the 6 body jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuderia Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 AH okay im surprised it has no engine. that doesn't make for a good race car kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 AH okay im surprised it has no engine. that doesn't make for a good race car kit. Me too, seeing how the C5 ones do, I am taking a guess, but it has all the signs of Revell made the tooling from a diecast of one. I bet if you were to look at a diecast of the C6, it would match the Revell kit. The only nice thing about the kit is the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I know its just model cars, but thats a travesty. That should have been sold in stores for ten bux tops. Some of the most fun of a race car kit is the 'race' engine. Let me know how the guts of the c5 fit under that body i like the 6 body and with revell re releasing the 5 lately it'll gimme a chance to bash.

There is no way I would of paid some of the price's this kit as been going for, $14.99 was ok, the decal sheet is nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah good thinkin, i cant wait to get another c5 I tried to test fit the body of the C6 R on the C5 R chassis, no go, you need to make some mods to get it to fit, but I think it will be wroth while though, we really need to start the race car CBP, we can talk about it on FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Wow , that was interesting . . . at least now I know not to buy the C6 R . Thanks guys . Delivered today by the USPS is something I've been wanting for a long time . A magnifying lamp with a 3X lens in it . If you are familiar with these , you know the spring balanced ones can go for more than $100 bucks . This was sold as a new - not working lamp . I found a wire pulled out of the switch ! Fifteen minutes later I have a lamp that cost me $14 dollars . Even with glasses I have trouble sometimes , so I really like this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I couldn't hot rod that nice green promo that I bought, so I got this instead: This kit comes with all kinds of strange options, like three engines, an engine display stand, and crazy decals. It also came with a tree from an AMT '70-'71 Torino and a stock Maverick hub cap. It did not, however, come with a rear bumper... so I have to try to find that. -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, still going to build it, hoping to have done for this weekends 24 hour Le Mans race. Watch the ride heght and note how the front left wheel is not centered in the wheel opening without some modification, I have seen allot these built without fixing those two things. The driver pairing decals are not right for Lemans and should be cut apart and grouped per the car number you do. It looks like this kit was based on the presentation version not the Lemans version. I had to make decals for the missing rear side marker lights and the exhaust shield should be a rectangle not teardrop shaped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
