Revell 3rd Quarter 2016

[gasman]

new kits listed at Plastic-hobbies.com

 

1/25 Fast and Furious 70 Charger, i'm assuming this is based off the diecast so you will NOT be able build a stock 70 Charger

1/25 Corvette C7.R (New Tool)

1/24 Dodge RamCharger, LONG wanted reissue.

1/25 57 Ford Gasser

1/25 58 Impala 

1/25 Chevy Yenko Nova.

Some interesting releases,wasn't a Yenko nova already done?or are they doing a 70'Yenko for this release?

[Rob Hall]

Wouldn't surprise me if the Yenko Nova is a straight reissue...though IIRC it's been less than 5 years since it came out.

[High octane]

I'm already building a '57 Ford gasser, and it should be done this week for the Milwaukee NNL on Sat.

[Dave Van]

I'll get at least one each but the Nova.......the Vette MAY be new body on the old racing chassis.....just thinking.

[Rob Hall]

The C7R will be nice...I'd love to see a model of the Corvette Daytona Prototype..

[Can-Con]

Maybe the new Yenko Nova will be a '70 LT-1 "Deuce" ?

[Mr mopar]

70' Dodge Charger F&F with a little bit of work might be able to make a stock Charger out of it ...........have to wait and see if they stick a stock grill in the kit .

[Rob Hall]

I wonder which F&F '70 Charger they will do...the original like their diecast version, or one of the later movie variations..

[Mike Chernecki]

Maybe the new Yenko Nova will be a '70 LT-1 "Deuce" ?

Sure would be nice. We are halfway there, the original issue Nova has the correct LT-1 and the latest Copo Nova has a 1970 Grille included. Two weeks ago I saw two Yenko Novas, LeMans Blue 1969 Yenko 427 and a Daytona Yellow 1970 Yenko Deuce.

I totally forgot about that Ram Charger from Monogram! 

[Luc Janssens]

Wouldn't surprise me if the Yenko Nova is a straight reissue...though IIRC it's been less than 5 years since it came out.

But now, post Copo release, I'm betting it will have a plain grille and trim delete between the taillites....

Dodge RamCharger? Is this the "gone fishing" car? 

[Dave Van]

Dodge RamCharger? Is this the "gone fishing" car? 

The Bronco like 2 door early SUV.....I had a 1/1 and was a great truck.

[hgbben]

Dodge RamCharger? Is this the "gone fishing" car? 

Pretty sure. There was a couple different ox issues, but that should be the one

The kit came out in 2009, and had been out of the catalog for awhile. Might as well kick it out since the Yenko licensing is obviously active due to Yenko Camaro that's on the 2nd Q slate.

BUT I highly doubt it's anymore than a straight reissue of the original WRONG kit. Because beyond the non SS grille and tail panel you also need the wheels and interior out of the COPO kit to do a real Yenko. It would be far more reasonable for the original Yenko kit number to be buried in the scrap heap and just include the Yenko decals in the COPO kit and redraw them to fit the flat hood rather than the SS hood as they are now since I *believe* based on looking at pictures original Yenko were flat hoods too, and it's mostly clones that I've seen with the louvered hood.

Another thing I saw this morning, not mentioned the OP's list is the 1/24 Thom Daniels Beer Wagon.

Wish they'd dip into other Tom Daniel design kits that have not been done in years......

Rat Vega, Posion Pinto, Honest Engine, Unreel Roller, Trick T etc etc

Like to see the old grille done for the Ramcharger.....this was a good ole truck....shouldn't have sold it. 

 

[DaveM]

I usually don't buy the Tom Daniel kits, but I would grab a "California Street 'Vette" if they reissued that one.  I goobered one up in Middle School with Lime green and orange candystripes.  I'd love to have another chance at doing that kit some justice.  I remember it being a pretty nice kit, in the style of Monogram's 1/24 kits of the time.  A few bits and pieces live on, waiting to be transplanted under a 1939 Chevy street rod I started building in 1984.   I swear, I'm going to finish it one day!  

[Dave Van]

I'd buy the TD Vette too......but fear it is lost by being retooled many times......Vette Van was the first IIRC...

[stavanzer]

I think the Vette Van is MPC, Dave.

[Len Woodruff]

Great info guys. Finally a C7.R racer.

Added the Ramcharger to my Tower Hobbies Wish List. I will see about the others but already have most of them in the stash. Might have to buy a couple of the Ramchargers so I can convert a couple of old LRE kits into 4wd and the Ramcharger into a 2wd.

Saw this same car a few weeks ago, it is real. Note it does have the SS hood.
