More on the development of the Revell Boss 351 kit....

Re the development of the Revell Boss 351, per Ed Sexton:

"We need to recognize the make up of the "Revell Team". It was It really is just Chris Borris with some help from Don Sikora and myself."

"Chris is the only full time Revell USA person. Don (he is the Editor of Collectible Automobile) and I worked as consultants on the project. Chris also does work with Revell Germany on the development of the products. The sales end is handled by the Carrera-Revell office in New Jersey."

The word directly from Chris Borris on the underhood ducting:

"Yes, of course we always want to reproduce with the most detail but as you pointed out we couldn't with the under hood ram air ducting due to space as you noted out. In the cad I have around 1mil of clearance between bottom of hood and front of 351 air-cleaner. We just simply could not afford tinkering with the multiple engines, air cleaners to add this rather large part. If there was more clearance we would have but it just wouldn't work here, so the cavity sides of all hoods received engraving detail instead."

As mentioned before, kudos to all who were involved in developing this kit! TB
