Sixx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 MAN!!!!! Thanks for the photos...I need some of those!!!! I spot a bunch of cool stuff for other builds!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadrob30 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 No problem. It's basically a rehash of all the other hi boy kits released in the last 20 years. However, the wheels, tires, interior, and blower assembly are worth the price of the kit to me, which incidentally was $20 at HobbyTown USA.

Bartster Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Cool ! Anybody wanna trade the rims & guitar from their kit, PM me.....PLEASE !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluhead Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ah, finally, some good tree pics! Thanks! I don't think we could really have expected a full new tool on this, as some had hoped for, but I will have no trouble at all overlooking a little rehash to get the new rolling stock and other new goodies.

alarmstrong Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 now im not well versed on what is or isnt a "rat rod" but all the ones I have seen before looked like a pile of junk parts mashed together. What makes this a rat rod? to me it looks like a 32 ford street rod with no hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 A lot of nice parts in there, but the least Revell could have done was to put in a dropped BEAM axle as is in the real car instead of a dropped tube one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Easy mistake. A lot of us thought the same thing upon 1st (mis)reading it, lol ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thanx! This is invaluable to assess the kit. I'll receive mine in the next couple of days amd this will give me a hedz up on what to expect. Great pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEKPETHO BCE Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 That looks beautiful. If only Revell would sell those firewalls by themselves.... I need like one or two... or 10 for all my other deuces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the back end when you get one. The RR has been modified to fit tight around the gas tank, just like the 1:1 car. Subtle, but it is different. It's new tooling. Is it radically different? Nope. The roadster tooling was just plain wore out, and Revell chose to cut a new mold to do this kit and help preserve the future of the '32 series.
