Brett Barrow Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The big wide distribution shipment hit most US distributors this week. The two days that no carriers picked up (except for FedEx on New Year's Eve) isn't helping getting them where they need to go quickly, but that's just he way it goes this time of year. We had ours on Tuesday, but only FedEx orders were able to go out. All others go out today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mademan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Got one of my cases of the Revell 1/12 Foose `69 Camaro Z28s in today. Here is a quick shot of the box art, first glance into the box, and a quick look at the contents. Rally wheels and I believe " pro stars" on this tree Nice new tires, nothing like the horrid 1/12 Shelby pucks... new Foose wheels and finally the decal sheet..... orange box art stripes and regular Z stripes. Looks like a great kit, right out of the box. No flash, all parts look crisp and clean. Chrome is excellent. Cant wait to start building these.

Casey Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The rear wheel half hoops look very much like those in the 1/12 Shelby kit, and it appears this kit includes two different sized wheels/tires for the front and rear, too. Are all four tires the same width? Can someone please measure the wheels and lmk what the diameter is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Tires are all 13/16" (2cm) wide. Front wheels are 1-5/8" (4cm) diameter, not including lip that goes into tire. Rear wheels are 1-3/4" (4.5cm) diameter, not including lip that goes into tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Never really been into big scale, but after seeing the pics, now I want one! It's hard to tell from the pics, but which interior does this have, the Custom/Houndstooth (vertical pleats) or regular (horizontal pleats)?

Hawk312 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Oh wow, we finally have black stripes!!!!!!! I will definitely pick one of these up. I noticed though, the Goodyear Eagles that were in previous versions aren`t in the pictures? If not, what do they suggest you mount the "Pro Star" wheels into?

It's a nice kit, but there are some odd things about it, perhaps more due to molding requirements. The "top" of the subframe with the battery on a post is a bit strange, and the way the oil pan and bellhousing lower third were molded separately is a bit different, but it probably allowed for a more detailed oil pan. I always thought the rearend assembly could've been a bit more realistic, too, but overall it builds up nicely. The Goodyear Eagle ST tires are not included, correct?

Jordan White Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) They aren't mentioned in the instructions. I suppose you would have to scrounge a set if you wanted to use them, though it is better that they included them rather than getting rid of them. Correct, the tires are not included in this issue.

stump Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks for the great photo review Mike. Two thumbs up mate. And thank you Jordan for providing the wheel/tyre sizing. Was really hoping (wishing) for something a little larger than the regular 245 tyre size. (2cm = 2 x 12 [scale], pretty much = 245 wide tyre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah they do seem pretty narrow for custom wheels and tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heinz74 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) looking at these pictures ,it's just a reissue of the Streetmachinekit..2816..with the Foose wheels and different decals now the one i built mine with a couple of months ago.. i really wanted white Z/28 stripes ,but they're black....so much for a frost green Z/28.. looks like a great kit though..i will be picking one up anyways..

Jordan White Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 You could always use the black decals as a guide to make a mask and paint the white stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just find someone that makes decals.........pretty easy to do on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
