Brutalform Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Does anyone know anything about this boxing? Is Revell of Germany still producing kits?
Rob Hall Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Just a rebox of the new tool '68 Chevelle for European markets.
GeeBee Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Yes, it's only just hit the shelves in Europe, I'm building one for a magazine, Revell supplied the kit, so far the quality is superb.
Mike Chernecki Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Does it have the correct 1968 stripes, the box shows 1969 stripes?

Tommy124 Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Would anybody mind telling me what the difference between the '68 and '69 stripes is and where the boxart is wrong? I can't seem to find any difference...

I can't seem to find any difference... The Revell Germany box art has 1970 -72 style SS stripes, while the Revell USA shows the correct 1968 stripes on the box art. 1968 SS stripes 1969 SS stripes 1970 -72 SS stripes
Tommy124 Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 I see, thanks... So the complaint is about the wide stripes not being the '68 (SS) stock stripes. However, there are lots of '68 Chevelles to be found with those stripes, so in a way they are "custom stripes", right?

Yes, they would be custom stripes for that year.
Brutalform Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 Thanks guys. Looks like a cool kit to have for the stash. I already have two of the recent US release. I ordered one at $36 shipped, from the UK. That’s less, or about the same, that I spent on the other version, if I remember correctly.

With sales tax undercoat and mirror glaze you're under $20.
JohnU Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Other than the box art, there really isn’t any difference between the European and US version right?
