• New Revell catalog is out - *LINK*
  • Been wanting that '39 Cheby S/D forever! L.O.L. *NM*
  • One note: That is the catalog for Revell in EU (Germany)
    • The fourth PDF download choice (bottom right) catalog breaks out the US kits at the end, though most of them are reissues, most are already out I think.
  • I see the Corrado which hasn't been out since the nineties is being reissued with new parts
    • I owned a G60 for six years (it broke my cycle of a new car every other year). Marvelous handling car. *NM*
  • Wish the C8 would have been in 1/25th.... I'd have to see in person how it compares. *NM*
  • Re: New Revell catalog is out -
    • Re: New Revell catalog is out - My Guess for the '76 is a modified version of the Old Billy Carter Pickup.
      • Here is my best guess. '76 Chevy Street Pickup *NM* *LINK*
        • Be prepared for Revell to Cheap Out and use the awful 2 piece tires shown in the instructions. They re-used those tires in the recent Custom Chevy Van kit last year. *NM*
          • Oh Yeah, I forgot about that turd, had one in a Sandman kit. The Bed was about the only usable piece in that kit. I'll continue with my conversion project! *NM*
            • I've got one Sandman kit, one Midnight Cowboy wrecker, and one "Blacktop Warriors" Sneaky Pete truck.
            • Be aware, that bed is not the factory GM bed either. It's one of the "California Stepside" conversion beds. Same as the one in their custom Courier and Chevy Luv pickups but with a full size bed. Same fenders though. *NM*
              • Thanks, I had not known that! *NM*
  • Looks like the new tool 71 Mustang is 1/24 scale :( *NM*
    • The "new tool" Mustang on page 58 is shown as 1/25th. *NM*
      • The Bond kit is listed as 1/24th, pretty sure it'll be 1/25th *NM*
        • Re: "The Bond kit is listed as 1/24th", It is RoG. It could very well end up in 1/24. RoG sells to the Rest of the world more than the U.S. 1/24 is the default scale for everywhere, but the U.S. *NM*
          • Doubt they're going to tool '71 Mustangs in both scales *NM*
            • I saw that, too. Guessing it is a typo - does not look as if an english proofreader made more than a perfunctory pass over the literal translation from Deutsch
              • The two As are in the "regular" section. Separating some of the lesser quality stuff out makes some sense for them, it seems *NM*
    • The box art floating around says 1/25 so - maybe - probably *NM* *PIC*
      • Hopefully it is 1/25. And not based on the die cast from 15-20 years ago. *NM*
        • Should be all new tooling. Many months ago a pic was posted on their facebook page that showed a 1/1 Mustang being 3D scanned. *NM*
          • Maybe they used the one at the beginning of the Round2 new monthly issue video! : ) *NM*
  • Jag XK-SS... *NM*
    • I punted on the 300 SLR, which is now pretty spendy - maybe again soon *NM*
  • Was hoping they were going to do another tractor kit for the series, maybe a Kramer or Hanomag. *NM*
    • This tractor came out last year from Heller *NM* *PIC*
      • They plan this one in 2024 *NM* *PIC*
        • And Miniart is making several in 1/24 this year and beyond from what they mentioned *PIC*
          • That's the preWW2 Lanz Bulldog that's listed as coming. With the situation there hope so, but will wait until I can actually hold one. *NM*
        • A little new for my tastes but will still go for it. This is the diesel powered one, think the one they're showing is the gas powered/ *PIC*
      • Actually that came out in the Bobcat series in the early 80's. Was reboxed with different decals as a Landini 16000DT that I'm working on right now. The decals and paint were about the only difference on the real tractors. *NM*
