stavanzer Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Has anybody seem any preview photos of the parts in this kit? I've seen the box art, but I'm hungry to know what is inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I almost don't care if it's a great kit or just so-so. I WANT several. There's just no other styrene source for that body, or anything even close enough. FIRST thing I want to do is graft on a chopped fastback from the old AMT Chebby, kinda like zo...

Rob Hall Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 There were photos posted here a while back of a builtup one at a show...looked good. I haven't seen pics of the parts trees anywhere, but it's due in a month or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiego Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I've pre-ordered mine from Tower. I think the odds of this kit being bad are extremely slim.. The gamble I took was also ordering the Dirty Donny Pinball Monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Thanks for the Photos. Still no 'Cadillac' script valve covers, but I like it anyway. I'll need at least two of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CometMan Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Due out in August of what year? It is a very good looking car, but with no way to build it stock, and no way to change the molds to make a stock version later on, not sure if I'll get in on this one.

High octane Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I saw the built up of that kit on display at the Milwaukee NNL and will be getting one for sure, as I'm currently workin' on a '64 Caddy convert kit, and I've owned a couple of Caddys in the past.

High octane Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I noticed that..probably will be at the preferred shops at the end of the month, and everywhere else in August. I'm sure that my local hobby shop is a "preferred shop" and I'll stop by this week I hope, and have them put one aside for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKerry Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I haven't compared as of yet but how close would this be to making the Cadzilla in plastic?? I have the die cast of Zilla but always wanted to do one in plastic just to do it!!!! I may have to compare them and see when I get home!!!!

slusher Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Is this going to be one of the prepainted versions? If you read the description on model roundup makes you wonder,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Is this going to be one of the prepainted versions? If you read the description on model roundup makes you wonder,,The Revell description does't mention anything about it being pre-painted.

stavanzer Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Que the Screeching!According to the Revell listing for the Eldorod, it will have the "Dreaded" Solid Wire axles. Let the shrieking and pearl clutching begin. I'm ready to buy two of these now. I want one that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
