Brett Barrow Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Yet again, Tower Hobbies has posted information on upcoming new Revell kits before any official announcement from Revell. Great internal communication inside the Hobbico empire! Right now I don't have any more info than what can be gleaned from the Tower listings, anything in parentheses are my additional thoughts. 1/25 Starsky & Hutch Torino (wha?!? Talk about coming outta left field! By price appears to be a full-detail kit) Tommy Ivo Showboat (reissue I'm sure) 2014 Mustang GT (nice that the last of that generation won't be over looked, I've gotten a lot of requests and folks asking if it would be done. By the price looks like it'll be one of the new pre-paints) Acura Integra (assuming reissue of the Tuner series kit) 1/24 Porsche 911 (assuming a Monogram reissue, but who knows?) 1/24 VW Rabbit (RoG rebox?) 1/24 1955 Ford Panel truck (judging by the scale, I'm assuming a modified version of the pickup - reissue, forgot that it exists) Ed Roth Surfite 2014 Corvette Stingray (by price point looks to be pre-paint) 2013 Camaro ZL1 and Challenger SRT 8 (different numbers from prepaints already announced, assuming these are different colors or possibly unpainted versions) Matt and Debbie Hay's Thunderbird Pro Street (reissue) Snap kits: Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (assuming modified from glue kit) 1/25 Ford Police Car (assuming the new Taurus-based Interceptor) 2014 Corvette Stingray Different #'s and cheaper price 2015 Mustang and Audi R8 (assuming these are clamshell packaged versions of the boxed kits, the clamshells usually run cheaper than boxed kits) Well, that's what I came up with, I'd expect Revell to post something on their Facebook page over the next week or so with more information.

Rob Hall Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) I assume the '55 Ford panel truck is just a straight reissue..as for the VW Rabbit, that is likely a rebox of the upcoming Revell of Germany new tool Mk I Golf. (Don't recall a Revell or Monogram Rabbit previously, though they have reboxed the RoG Mark II Golf in the past). Edited July 24, 2014 by Rob Hall

Austin T Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I am excited they are repoping the Integra. I got one for three bucks (parts still in bags) at a flea market and stupidly sold it to a friend for ten bucks, then I started to like Japanese cars.
Guest Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Definitely want a Starsky and Hutch Torino!! May snag an Integra too. I would take the police car IF it's Taurus based and can be built stock or close to stock.
Austin T Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Another thing I think many people are over looking is that we could also have the Explorer based Interceptor as a possibility since they haven't specified.
ianguilly Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I don't know how we've gone this long without a starsky and hutch model of some kind.
Jim_Kampmann Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Brett, I did the same search you did, only I added the 'other' manufacturers to the mix. Of course these dates will probably change, but there's a ton of really cool stuff coming!

Brett Barrow Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks, Jim. Most of those have been covered in other threads, but good to have them in one spot. I added the Pro Street Thunderbird on my list, I saw it but forgot to make a note when I was putting mine together. Edited July 24, 2014 by Brett Barrow
Matt T. Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Good to see the Pro Street T-bird, hopefully molded in white this time! I was gonna grab an original to use under a Pro Street Moebius F100, now I can get a new one. Any thoughts on how Revell kept the S&H Torino under wraps, yet its release date is only two months after the '67 Camaro - which had a test shot on display at NNL East back in April? Thanks to Brett & Jim for the lists! Edited July 24, 2014 by Matt T.
Toner283 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Showboat! Great news for traditional hot rod builders. Nailhead Nailhead Nailhead Nailhead. It was getting tough to find this kit for a reasonable price just to rob the engines out of it.
ianguilly Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Who said the buddy baker charger is getting reissued? I didn't see anything on round 2 website.
Mr mopar Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) No Big rig kits................ That's to bad. Edited July 24, 2014 by Mr mopar
mangodart Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Wow wow wow a Torino from 74/76 that's a good news !!!! plenty of possibilities with that kit !!!!!
Chuck Kourouklis Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Yeah, thanks much, Brett and Jim! Exciting! Add me to the number who'd love to see a '72 Torino fastback from the Starsky & Hutch tooling, but heck, S&H is pretty kool too!
Matt T. Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Who said the buddy baker charger is getting reissued? I didn't see anything on round 2 website. 1/16?
Rob Hall Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) 1/16? I believe that is what it is...the Petty Charger w/ different decals? Or backdated to a '71? Thought I saw it mentioned here or one of the other modeling forums. Edited July 24, 2014 by Rob Hall
Brett Barrow Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 That's the idea. 73 Petty kit with different decals. Kit # I'm showing is MPC-811. Probably still tying up loose ends with box art and licensing why it's not on their site.
ianguilly Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 This? That's stinks, I was hoping for 1/25 polar lights reissued.
martinfan5 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 You know, so far, I am sort of excited for some of the Q4 kits.
mnwildpunk Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Anybody else think something may be funny with the S.&H. Torino?
