Jordan White Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 For some reason I'm not seeing these pics on their Facebook page. It is unfortunate that they didn't bother to include larger 4-wheel disc brakes to go with the larger wheels.
jrherald420 Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Yup, mine wheels will be going up on Ebay as soon as i get my kit. God they are ugly!! They look like something that should be on a truck or Jeep Edited December 13, 2013 by jrherald420
Casey Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 ... AND I PRESENT THE WHEELS THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE FOOSE CAMARO Yeah, those are...unfortunate looking, and kinda what I was hoping they wouldn't be. Might not be a bad thing, though.
Rob Hall Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I have the original issue (molded in orange), still haven't built it..I recall it has the stock Rallys, can't recall what the optional wheels are with it. I wonder if those are also in this issue or gone.

I wonder if those are also in this issue or gone. They are 5-spoke Cragar star-like wheels. I'm guessing Revell will include a separately bagged sprue (with the rounded corners) with the new wheels attached instead of adding them into the existing tooling, but the wheels are replicas of 1:1 Foose "Fishtail C" wheels:
Jordan White Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 There's no mention of the custom wheels from past issues, so I would assume they're out.
heinz74 Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 i guess that's about all there is about the Foose thing then ..some wheels and decals.. no 572 crate engine or new seats ,no RS package.. i guess the way i built mine a few months ago would look more customized/Foosified if it was real than this kit i will be getting one though ..i still want a stock one..i'll just save the wheels for a 57 chev i've got sitting here
Erik Smith Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 There's no mention of the custom wheels from past issues, so I would assume they're out. Don't assume anything…Revell has included many of the parts from previous releases without mention. I bet they are still there as they were all molded at the same time when the kit was originally produced. I have the ROG 1/12 1957 Chevy - it does not mention any of the custom parts on the box or in the pictures, yet all the parts are there. Wheels are such a personal taste that you could never pick out a new set of wheels and have happy campers. Having another set of 1/12 tires though, that's nice. I am sure there will be some custom wheels made to fit...
Jordan White Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I figure its always best to assume the worst and be surprised when you find they did in fact include them.
jrherald420 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Anybody else Preorder from MegaHobby? My whole order says it shipped, including the Camaro......wonder if its a fluke?
Jordan White Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Perhaps they have early stock, perhaps they made a mistake like Hobbylinc.
jrherald420 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I will find out Monday. Fingers crossed.
Jordan White Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Just looked at their website, and they have it listed as a preorder right now.
Scott - Elm City Hobbies Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Yeah, this kit isn't out yet. I get an invoice from my supplier about the same time that Revell direct ships the Preferred Customer orders, and I haven't gotten the invoice as of yet. Expect it next week sometime, which means with Xmas and New Years....I might have on the 30th, maybe, and that is a big maybe.
jrherald420 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 That's what i was figuring, kinda why i asked if anybody else had ordered from Megahobby. My whole order including the preorder of this camaro says its shipped and will be here Monday. IDK im not expecting it to show.
gnygren Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) I was roving around my LHS today and saw the Monogram 1/12th scale Camaro.The box art was done up as a Chip Foose. I'm guessing that it is one of the "Overhaulin" cars like the ones done in 1/25th. I didn't get to open it up so I don't know if there is anything for a stock build.

Jordan White Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Check down a few threads, theres already a thread about this (though yes it comes with all the stock parts).
Joe Handley Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Is it me, or do those spokes look a lot like GM upper A-Arms from that era?
Metalmad Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 My Local HS has the Foose Camaro & its priced at $69.99
jrherald420 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I dont see that happening for a long time! lol They dont even carry the notch mustang cop car kit yet!
Jordan White Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I'll have to check mine when I get home from vacation since Hobbylinc still doesnt have a definite date listed.
mademan Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Ive got a bunch of them coming, tracking shows they should be here in a couple days.... so well see. GMScustoms on ebay always has stuff first.
Johan020 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Still nobody ??? It should be out in the US by now i guess . Whe here in europe have to whait fo awhile i think
