Mike Chernecki Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Here, That looks like the original SWC WIllys box art. I thought they would mothball the original kit after the new tool was release a few years ago.

Never underestimate the nostalgia factor, which flashes over much if not all the negative from the past, human nature...

I guess thats the same reason why they keep releasing the old Tri-5 Chevies when the new tools are so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) The "old" SWC Willys kit is a totally different model from the newer version, it's the older (in real life) version of the car with the Old's engine and not the Chrysler, and is actually a legal gasser with two seats, and all the show worthy interior and shiny pieces. The newest Willys is just a generic coupe with the appropriate decals to make it appear close to the SWC car. Just my personal preferences, but I'll take the older "finicky" kit over the new one all day long.

niteowl7710 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Why are they listing the car hauler as "Big Scale"? I suspect it's due to the fact that the box for the car hauler when compared to the size of a regular Revell kit is in fact bigger in scale...

horsepower Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Probably because it's not in HO scale, or 1/64th so you can't use it for your train layout, or to display your matchbox, or NASCAR collection on. And it's BIG most of us will be hard pressed to find a spot to display something this long after the tractor is attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd figure that too, and I noticed looking on Revell's website last night of the 2014 offerings, they had the reissue of the Peterbilt Wrecker listed that way too and in the same grouping as the truly "Big Scale" 1:16 scale rigs.

Greg Myers Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Which version of the SWC Willys are they releasing? Looks like the original issue from the '60's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250 Testa Rossa Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Looks like the original issue from the '60's I'm so glad they're bringing back the SWC Willys with the Olds engine. Been waiting for that one for a while now. Maybe I could kitbash this one with the Hemi SWC Willys to build the original restored car. Except that it's the upscale-trimmed Del Rio. Art I'm really excited for this one, especially since it's a Del Rio. Can't wait to see this one hit the shelves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Parklane That reminds me of one of (I think) Steve Stanford's designs of a '55 or '56 Ford 2Door Wagon that he rendered with Crown Vic' Molding over the roof, he showed it in the Aqua and White, the Minty Green color here would look good too. Now that's a Ford I could like. I'd love to see a '55 or '56 come out too, I'll be getting one or two of the '57 wagons they look really sweet with all the Hot Rod trimmings, doll that Y-block up with the T-bird aluminum valve covers and air cleaner and you've got a winner. The Auto Transport trailer, even though I'm not much of a truck modeler im thinking it would look pretty sweet loaded up with a whole bunch of Rods & Customs. Then you'd have to find something equally as cool to tow it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I split the '57 Del Rio Ranch Wagon specific posts and moved them into a new post since there's quite a bit interest in discussing this particular kit, so please feel free to start a new topic for any other kit on this list which doesn't already have it's own dedicated topic.
