IMPALASS89 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 here is the pic of the box cover for this kit looks nice can't wait till we get this one!!! for some reason it showed a red x darn computer click on the box and it took me to the pic sorry guys try that and see if works for you. Here is the pic finally .
Exotics_Builder Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Well don't hold your breath for a March release date for this 57 Ford Del reo I just looked at tower hobbies which belongs to Revell that the release date is now for July of this year. so we will have to waite a few months longer for the kit to come out and it will be a 2 in 1 kit the other version is the police wagon also the pic I seen there had two models on the box cover and it will from the car show series if I remember right.I just checked the tower hobbies site and it is now a late june release date not July . Tower Hobbies is the retail arm of Hobbico which owns Revell.
Luc Janssens Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 makes sense, to me Revell USA stopped existing after the move to the Monogram plants (Morton Grove and Des Plaines) The Monogram brand was worldwide synonym for quality model kits, Revell up to that point was hit or mis.
Casey Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 makes sense to me Maybe this indicates the "Special Edition" sub-labeling of kits is officially dead? That'd be fine by me, as Revell, Inc. has been rather scatterbrained when it comes to branding their kits over the last few years. Now we have the '57 Del Ray in Monogram packaging and the previous '57 300 Sedan in Revell packaging.
Chuck Kourouklis Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 How very strange. Comes down to it, from both a product and management standpoint, Revell has essentially been Monogram in 1/25 since the late '80s. But even though the distinctions started getting fuzzy when Monogram released that '59 Caddy in 1/25, I can't see any rhyme or reason to a Del Rio suddenly in Monogram packaging with a Special Edition photo scheme. Don't know if Special Ed is quite to pasture just yet - the A has been listed as such in the second quarter flyer.
khier Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) So, if you modify the Del Rio kit, to a 4 door, it becomes a Country Sedan? You can save the conversion effort and use this:http://jimmyflintstonestudios.com/?product=nb200-1957-ford-4-dr-country-sedan-wagon Edited February 13, 2015 by khier
khier Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I'd love to see a 4-door. But, I'd want it to be a Custom 300, rather than the plain Custom the 2-door is. Scott I presume you are talking about the saloon not the wagon. In this case you may use the Modelhaus Custom 300 2DR Sedan. Conversion of the Revell Custom kit to 4 DR is available here:http://www.madmodeling.com/store/ccp0-prodshow/57fordcustom.html
Exotics_Builder Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 The 57 is supposedly due in June if the dock strike does not interfere. Best info I can get at this point.
jbwelda Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 so this is actually going to come out as a Monogram brand kit? wow that's wonky. can I say that here? jb

Here is the pic finally . lrmxs4193.jpg Spot the little mistake on the green and white wagon...
Danno Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Spot the little mistake on the green and white wagon... Yeah. The "F-O-R-D" letters on the front end are shown below the crease instead of above the crease where the 1:1 and the Revell sedan had them. Hopefully, it's just a box art faux pas. Edited February 14, 2015 by Danno
horsepower Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 And unless I'm imagining it, on the black police wagon it appears as though it's back up top where it belongs. Possibly a decal that got misplaced? As I've heard that on occasion the cars supplied for builders to make for box art don't always come with an instruction sheet.
66belair Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 All I can say awesome! Saw the test shot in November in person. Nice kit!
Sledsel Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Again, another one I will not buy because I just do not want to fix the flaws it shares with the sedan. Sticking with resin for now Edited February 21, 2015 by Sledsel

Sticking with resin for now What flaws are those? My sedan looks right on. What little I've seen so far, the wagon looks like it will be good too. What am I missing here? Scott
blubaja Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 What flaws are those? My sedan looks right on. What little I've seen so far, the wagon looks like it will be good too. What am I missing here? Scott Yea...This was actually one of the recent Revell kits that didn't have any issues for once.

What little I've seen so far, the wagon looks like it will be good too. What am I missing here? Scott I believe I've seen some criticisms of the front inner wheel wells...
Tom Kren Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 JUNE I cant wait that long I need them NOW!!!!!!!
Casey Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Yea...This was actually one of the recent Revell kits that didn't have any issues for once. Those sedan bumper guards are gonna punch some nasty dents in the tailgates.....the rest of the 57 looks great! The rear bumper should be re-done, or at least have the guards removed for the Ranch Wagon, as Mike pointed out.
Exotics_Builder Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 The rear bumper should be re-done, or at least have the guards removed for the Ranch Wagon, as Mike pointed out. Revell stated at the IHOBBY interview that the bumper guards would not be there on the released model. That was back in early October.
dino246gt Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Not that it REALLY matters, but I'm surprised by the Monogram branding instead of Revell, I don't have many Monogram kits in my stash of over 1000. But like I said, it doesn't really matter at all, just seems odd to me, maybe a tax thing?
Tom Geiger Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Revell stated at the IHOBBY interview that the bumper guards would not be there on the released model. That was back in early October. What?? We are getting gypped out of a pair of bumper guards? That kit price needs to be adjusted downward to reflect the loss of these two parts! We need to stand up for our rights! (the usual really silly rant that follows an announcement of any type! )

(the usual really silly rant that follows an announcement of any type! ) OMG !!!!! OMG !!!!!! What if we WANT the incorrect bumper guards so that anyone who looks at our finished model will immediately know we're NOT RIVET COUNTERS??? OMG !!!!!
