One of the Old School Greatest Kits Of All Time makes a comeback courtesy of Revell Models. With the old man not included, the Trans-Um Tirebird is a highly-stylized hotrod with a customized Trans-Am body consisting of oversize wheel wells, exaggerated air scoops and frame and one bad boy attitude of a ride.
The Tirebird is solid white with a wide blue roof and truck strip accented with small side strips and oversize hood decal and enough chrome for three cars. Part of Revell's 1/25 Scale series, that's a real model maker's model that requires glue, paint and a lot of patience. Dave Deal would be so proud!
Another 1/25 Scale beauty of a car is Revell's Special Edition Shelby GT500KR with optional parts and a whole new look.
Inspired by the 1968 Shelby this 2008 version is deep blue with classic Mustang lines, huge chrome wheels, classic Shelby grill and lights, low to the ground profile and enough horsepower for a whole herd of horses.
Look for decals with authentic markings, a huge V-8 engine in black and chrome, cold air inlets on its hood, heat extractors and enough details that will keep you looking at this beauty for hours. Like the Tirebird this is a real modeler's model that requires glue, paint and an expert eye.
When Steve McQueen sent his Mustang flying over the hills of San Francisco in Bullitt, theater goers were thrilled. You'll be thrilled to when you see Revell's new updated 2008 Mustang Bullitt commemorating that great car and car chase scene.
Painted a deep green, the Bullitt Mustang is a study in speed with its cold intake V8 engine, five spoke wheels, grill with no trim, factory stock decals and complete engine, interior and exterior details and accessories. With some paint and glue you can assemble this 40th Anniversary wonder updated for the 2000s.
Not wanting to leave kids out, Revell has expanded its Star Wars SnapTite Model Kit line to include the classic wedge-shaped Snowspeeder first seen in The Empire Strikes Back. Easy to assemble with no glue or paint required, the Snowspeeder fully-detailed inside and out and looks ready to take on the empire.
From A New Hope comes the Y-Wing Starfighter that, like the Snowspeeder, requires no glue or paint. Fully loaded with lots of weapons and an R2 unit, the Starfighter consists of a front cockpit, a rectangular body and twin engines-one on either die. Look for lots of surface details and an easy to snap together frame.
