kelson Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Some interesting releases,wasn't a Yenko nova already done?or are they doing a 70'Yenko for this release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm already building a '57 Ford gasser, and it should be done this week for the Milwaukee NNL on Sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'll get at least one each but the Nova.......the Vette MAY be new body on the old racing chassis.....just thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The C7R will be nice...I'd love to see a model of the Corvette Daytona Prototype.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Maybe the new Yenko Nova will be a '70 LT-1 "Deuce" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I wonder which F&F '70 Charger they will do...the original like their diecast version, or one of the later movie variations.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I totally forgot about that Ram Charger from Monogram! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 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....

om617 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Dodge RamCharger? Is this the "gone fishing" car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbben Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Dodge RamCharger? Is this the "gone fishing" car? Pretty sure. There was a couple different ox issues, but that should be the one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 But now, post Copo release, I'm betting it will have a plain grille and trim delete between the taillites....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.

niteowl7710 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Another thing I saw this morning, not mentioned the OP's list is the 1/24 Thom Daniels Beer Wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 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 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 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 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'd buy the TD Vette too......but fear it is lost by being retooled many times......Vette Van was the first IIRC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I think the Vette Van is MPC, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this same car a few weeks ago, it is real. Note it does have the SS hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
