I think all of those are 1/25... certainly the ones I have are. @szeregowy were you specifically after 1/24 to fit in a "constant scale" collection, or are you prepared to consider 1/25 as well, if the original car is big enough? best, M.

All the other cars in my stash are 1/24, so I would prefer to stick to 1/24 if possible. Small pool I know, but I'll find something. 2 1
cmatthewbacon Posted October 10 Posted October 10 The ex-Monogram Mustangs in the Revell Germany boxes are nice kits and pretty easy to find… best, M.

vppelt68 Posted October 10 Posted October 10 I've browsed through umpteen of eligible kits to buy for this GB - my current stash consists of airplane kits only - and I think the AMT 1968 Roadrunner ticks most boxes: - it's the year of my birth - it's a real muscle car (2d post body, minimal trim, maximum power) - HEMI - and last but not least, it's AVAILABLE!

Small pool I know, but I'll find something. The Monogram 1.24 kits are your best bet. All scrub up well straight out the box and there is a ton of extra detailing to be had if that floats your boat. The '70 Mustang, 64 and 65 fastback Mustangs, including Shelby boxings, The '69 Dodge Super Bee, Challenger T/A, Buick GSX are all readily available. There's a Torino and a GTX out there as well as a Dodge Daytona and Plymouth Superbird. The Revell issues need a bit of a study as some 1.25 cars creep in. All the new Revell Germany cars are 1.25 as are any original Revell kits. It's only the original Monogram kits that are 1.24. It can get confusing. 1 1 1
SnøMotion Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Revell have also got a 71 Plymouth Satellite GTX Street Machine and an 87 Monte Carlo SS coming out soon, @szeregowy Martin 1
cmatthewbacon Posted October 10 Posted October 10 There’s a Monogram Buick Grand National I quite fancy as a restomod… best, M. 1

Keith The 2 in 1 looks like it consists of 4 barrel or fuel injection and stock wheels or massive wires. I can’t see how the ‘yet to be released’ kit is going to be any different Martin 1

Chief Cohiba Posted Tuesday at 10:08 PM Posted Tuesday at 10:08 PM I'd like to stick to 1/24, but the USCP Shelby is quite tempting. So, you have my vote! 1 1
