Revell SoCal Speed Shop double kit

[squirrel886]

I saw this on my FB newsfeed...........the poster stated it was a third quarter release.  Can anyone confirm?

[Scalper]

Made in Canada cool.

Is it April 1st already?

[squirrel886]

Sorry, looks like a hoax.

It's a "fantasy box" currently for sale on eBay Canada.

Too bad. I believe that a  properly scaled, accurate belly tank model would sell very well.

[Nitro Neil]

I agree, I would buy two.

[squirrel886]

I agree.  It's something I've been wanting to build for a long time now.

Dang talk about a let down. That would be a COOL kit to see come to market! Everyone here seems to love the old 32 highboy, and I thought I saw a thread recently about a LSR car that doubled as a belly tanker car and a front engine dragster.

[Chuck Kourouklis]

One way to avoid the letdown, gents: pay attention to Revell's current style in box art, then realize the fake box is nothing like it.

Pity, too. The Deuce is nearly all there in current Revell patterns, and I'd bet the belly tanker's at least as safe a bet as the recent midgets.

[JTalmage]

Oh definitely, box art was a dead give away... still a let down.

Can anyone tell what kind of tires on on the deuce? Rears look like cheater slicks... I love the wheel/tire combo on it...

Cheater slicks, very similar to what came in the Rat Roaster

Maybe someone could forward this to Revell along with all the positive reaction. They've already got the start of a '32 in their current '32 kits.  Just need the bellytank. I'm getting tired of making my own! Lol!

Yes! I'd love a double kit of those cars! It would be great if Revell brought this kit to the public.

[Rob Hall]

Since we are late in the 4th quarter now, and it wasn't in the 3rd quarter flyer...that should be enough to know it wasn't real.  Would make an interesting kit.  I'm surprised So Cal Speed Shop hasn't done a deal w/ a kit maker for some merch..they've done diecast w/ Hot Wheels IIRC.

Complete fabrication.

I wish it were real.  It's about time we had a belly tank and the '32 is a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH sight more appealing than that Rat Roaster abortion.  I'm not much into buses, but I'd go for a Scenicruiser.

[dodgefever]

Good grief, the board software censors d-a-m-n?  Unbelievable.

this would never make it by the nit picker crowd, it's blatantly powered by the wrong engines, definitely not mouse motor small block engines.

[blubaja]

Can't wait for Revell's lawyers to contact this guy about the money he's been making off of their name lol. What a putz,

 

 

[Dave Van]

 

WHERE do I send my cash!!!!  I'd even settle for a MC-9....it would be cheaper to tool.......
