aoshima announces brand new kit... Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 Super Veloce

Actually, when it comes to Round2, Cliff, it's quite the opposite.

Revell still has Firestone and M&H sidewall detail, so the licensing issue only seems to apply to Goodyear tires:

Which manufacturer's name is on the Lambo's sidewalls? The name must be on the hidden area in Jon's pic, but I think they should be Pirelli P Zeros, correct? Is the only place you can view the engine with the bonnet closed through the three hexagonal-shaped holes?

I live how they molded the tiny amber marker light lenses(?) separately, too.

Those sets are sold separately to their kits. It's trying to double-dip, getting you to buy 1 of their kits then finding out the tyres in the kit suck, then offering seperate tyre sets for more $... ?

The only recent kit, that Revell has made, that has sidewall detail, that I know of, is the 70 'Cuda & they're Goodyears, so I don't know about this licensing issue with Goodyear?

No, they are included in their kits, the 289 Cobra being one which includes the blue line slicks above.

The tire pic I posted is from the just reissued 1/12 Foose Camaro kit.

Yup, and the Polyglas tires, the multi-stripe Firestones, most of the slicks - all debuted in Round 2 kits before being sold as parts packs.

But you're dead right about Revell, Cliff. Their '70 'Cuda tires are very clearly patterned after the Polyglas, but have a look and you'll see no manufacturer logos on them. I wish Revell would have sprung for some 3D scanning on that kit, but I generally don't have a problem when they tell a tire manufacturer with its hand out to go pound sand.

That's fair enough Casey ? but I don't have these kits mate so I wouldn't know.
