[Atmobil]

Yes indeed:

07043	Porsche 356 Cabriolet	16	11	New Tool
07679	Porsche 356 Coupé	16	9	New Tool (easy click)
00450	VW Käfer 1915/1952	16	1	Wiederauflage Revell Technik
07049	VW T1 Kastenwagen	16	9	Conversion

That 356....: mine, mine, mine mine, mine, mine

 

And that 1:16 Kastenwagen was too be expected, now it is coming, I'll get one of those too.

So RevellAG goes large scale for 2018? How totally...money saving.

You may buy the whole production run

I'll save my money, maybe after the BMW 2002, Hasegawa comes with something like a VW Type 3.....

just got an email from Revell Germany with the official list. only Auto related items are

1:16 Porsche 356 Cabriolet and Coupe

1:16 VW Beetle reissue

1:16 VW T1 Kastenwagen panel bus

1:25 2010 Mustang GT and GT500, 97 F150, Shelby Series 1, Viper GTS, all recent Revell USA stuff

1:24 VW MK1 GTi Pirelli. this one will get some new tooled parts like wheels and bumpers, and I believe it would have different tailights.

no mention of the rumored Land Rover or Ford GT Race car, other then the Porsche and the Pirelli GTi nothing else interests me

 

[BVC500]

Yeah, nothing interests me from Revell this year.

[Zoom Zoom]

And I thought D Revell ran off the 1/24 tracks last year w/the Porsche tractor & Panamera. Oh well, more $$ to spend w/the competition.

[LDO]

356 drag car!

If you look at the 2nd link above (German IPMS), the Le Mans car is mentioned on their list as a reboxed Revell U.S. kit.

I'm cool with the 1/16 scale 356, but why would the cabriolet be a glue kit while the coupe is an "easy click"?

[Bennyg]

Looks like they're doing a road version of the 2017 Ford GT too. I'm looking forward to those. No new big rigs though.

It's merely the Revell US build 'n play Ford GT in a different box.

Wait a few years, and there will be a full "glue" coupe kit. I held out hope there'd be a panel version of the Type2.

Yay, get to save some money this year.

That's a shame. Still, the Le Mans version is worth looking forward to.

I've built the Porsche Tractor already. It's not too bad. Probably has great appeal in Europe and globally with tractor enthusiasts. I've ordered the Panamera 2. Hopefully it's not too bad.

When I bought the 1:16 Samba, it had already different parts in it, not to be used for the Samba, It was simply a matter of time the panelvan would come out. And I am glad it is here now; the only thing I need know is a 1:16 trailer....

I did "follow" the Review topic you posted of the Samba, but I don't think I ever went bk to look more closely at the parts images.

Hmmm, roof from the Panel onto the Samba...:

[martinfan5]

Fun fact about that photo, he took it himself

   I'm safe by a decade, easy. 

Now, that Porsche 956 engine should swap right into the Type 2, right?

I completely forgot I did that, but thanks of reminding me, I grabbed the pictures of the bumpers. It has the Euro and US spec bumpers, but on another sprue; voila: Panelvan bumpers.

And I like where you are going with the 356 engine.....

[Chuck Kourouklis]

Wooow.  I'll have both 356s, easy click or no.
