Brett Barrow Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Given the choice, I'd rather have the chrome reverse and baby moons, although the TTs in the '59 kit were also very nice. Incidentally, the '58 also had a choice of intake setups, FI or dual fours with very undersized carbs. 59 still had the factory FI and dual carb parts as well. If I had to guess at this early stage I'd predict that this new edition will have the modern stuff from the 59, as that would make it different from the 1st issue. And I forgot to mention it, the up tops were different - the 58 had a soft top and the 59 had a hard top. Edited January 14, 2014 by Brett Barrow
gtx6970 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Anyone able to confirm or deny if the Sox - Martin Cuda will have the six pack hood on it or not. ? I have one done to fit the original MPC body and would rather not modify it to fit the new revell body

I have one done to fit the original MPC body and would rather not modify it to fit the new revell body I would assume it does...the scoop style on the Johan kit didn't appear until '71, I think?

Rob Hall Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I'm assuming the S&M Cuda will look something like this...
martinfan5 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Will it have scale whips and chains as extras? :lol: :lol:
Daddyfink Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Hasegawa is re-releasing the Rallye 240Z! That is a nice kit. And the Revell Jungle Jim Dragster looks like the old Jeb Allen rail with new decals and I noticed the rear tires look to be one piece types. That would be nice.
jaydar Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Can i get to a '59 'vette by using the chrome from the multi piece body '59 kit with the '58 body and chassis? Joe.
Rob Hall Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 The only major difference between the '58 and '59 were the chrome trim strips on the '58 trunk lid. That's why Revell molded the '58 with a separate trunk lid, to make it easier to do a '59 from the same tooling. '58 had a different hood also..w/ louvers. I assume there are some interior trim differences also.
Matt T. Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Perfect fot kitbashing with the '62 gasser kit! Right on! Gotta get a '70 Sox Cuda too. Keep it going, Revell.
gtx6970 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Hoefully the Sox and Martin Cuda looks like this one If it does,,I'll take a case right outa the gate But I also have this Picture of the 1971 car still using the sixpack hood.
AZ Boy Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Hoefully the Sox and Martin Cuda looks like this one If it does,,I'll take a case right outa the gate Agreed Bill. I have the Johan 71 version, and this would be a great compliment to that one.
Rob Hall Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Looks like there are pics of the S&M '70 w/ chrome bumpers and with a body color bumper...multiple cars, I presume or differences through the season. Edited January 15, 2014 by Rob Hall
Brett Barrow Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 '58 had a different hood also..w/ louvers. I assume there are some interior trim differences also. Different interiors year-to-year are pretty much a given on early Corvettes, especially the quad-light C1's and every C2. 58 seats have vertical pleats, 59 are horizontal.

If you can't find one of the new tool (and frankly mis-labled Monogram even though it was a new Revell tool) '59 Corvettes for a decent price -- It took me about a year but I finally got a sealed one on eBay for $9.99 - then just hang out for a bit longer. I would suspect that it's not too far up the reissue pipeline now that the '58 is finally seeing the light of day again. Makes sense to run them both back-to-back while you have the one tool it shares parts with out and cleaned up already and the '62 Vette is fresh. Edited January 15, 2014 by niteowl7710
gtx6970 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Looks like there are pics of the S&M '70 w/ chrome bumpers and with a body color bumper...multiple cars, I presume or differences through the season. Probably more a case of when in the season....Plus I would be surprised if there was only the one car for the 1970 season every pic I've seen of the restored car it has a ft rubber bumper. I'll have to look thru my files and see if I can find one of back in the day where it shows it with a rubber bumper
Rob Hall Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 There may be multiple clones also out there today as well...
FASTBACK340 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Now, let's all bow our heads and hope the next variant is………
Rob Hall Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Now, let's all bow our heads and hope the next variant is……… 307858-Berserker.jpg Would be nice...I'd love to see this variation..
'70 Grande Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I'm with you, Rob. Would love to see a release of that vintage Trans-Am Cuda!
martinfan5 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Judging by a post on FaceBook from guy that might of let the cat out of the bag, even know we know its coming, I suspect that Revell is going to announce something from the 80's and something that a lot people have been waiting for I could be 100% wrong as well

Where on Face book did this go down, I haven't seen anything.
