Three kits in three different scales make up Revell/Monogram release's this month.
32 Ford 3 Window Coupe
Description
A souped-up "deuce coupe" for the 21st century.
Offered in multiple body styles, the first Ford Model Bs rolled off the assembly lines for the 1932 model year. The rare 3-window De Luxe Coupe, was distinguished by its rear-hinged suicide doors. Today, this model remains popular with hot-rodders, who soup it up with V-8 engines and updated suspensions. Kit features a choice of a full-fender street rod body, or a high-boy custom body with five-spoke wheels. Also includes a removable hood with a detailed Ford 302 engine, soft black tires, chrome-plated parts and decals with optional custom graphics.

SnapTite® Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster
Description
Extremely exotic. Extremely fast.
Introduced in 1995, the Diablo VT Roadster featured an all-wheel drive set-up with a viscous center differential. The Roadster replaced the typical fixed top with an electric carbon fiber targa top and removable roof section. The engine lid was heavily modified so that the V-12 engine had proper ventilation when the roof covered it. Servo-assisted Brembo® four-wheel disc brakes provided superior stopping power. Kit features a screw-on chassis, rolling wheels with metal axles, soft black tires, chrome-plated parts and colorful Peel 'n Stick decals. Standard screwdriver required.

Revell's website states August for the '32 Ford so I write August. July's releases were announced in the Revell-Monogram July release's news story. Andy

Andy[/quote] Well considering the '32 is sitting on my store shelf as we speak, that came in with the rest of the July releases....... Revell moves releases around all the time, and doesn't bother to update the press releases, unfortunate but true.

Most model companies put them back a month, got to give them credit for getting them out early then. Andy

A classic Ford hot rod is always welcome news. The BIG scale Mustang is pretty cool. Excellent news. Thanks for the heads up Andy

Well, while these are nice, I'm still waiting on the Meyers Manx dune buggy which last I had heard was due out this august and that 1/24 London bus that's probably due the end of the year.{or next year} Thanks for the heads up Andy and Scott.

Manx is scheduled out in December last I was told. The RoG London Bus is slated for late Dec, likely early Jan. before they trickle into the shops. Andy...sending you a PM on the other Revell releases...think I have them out to October...gotta check.

Anyone know of a mail order company here in the UK who stocks the Revell car range, my LMS never has them!
