Salvinos JR Models acquired the molds from Revell for a number of car kits in 1/24th scale and have re-released them with new decals and chrome parts.
The 1/25th cars are Salvinos JR Models own designs, and therefore new toolings.

Pretty cool. Love those big, chunky, brutal, noisy Nascar racers.
Kudos to Salvino's for rescuing Revell tool's, that could otherwise end up in a junk yard.

I agree with you Jesper. But OUCH ! The prices are pretty high but there are some great race cars and drivers offered. I know he's trying to recoup his outlay for the molds, new chrome& decals. Decals do look top notch! Good luck Salvino JR Models!
On the bench :
A whole bunch of figures, Too many half built kits and a (gasp) wing thing

I have had a nice email from Jim at Salvinos J R Models to let us know that all the 1/25th cars are thier own designs and not Revell re-boxings.
