Kurtis, McLaren, Outlaw, Viper, Dart, ZR1 And Skyhawk

Rev it up and get ready to burn rubber with six new Revell/Monogram cars that are made for speed and high performance!



The Kurtis Kraft Racer is a yellow, single-passenger race car with full-length side chrome exhaust pipes slightly bent upward to mount over the rear wheels. 1:24 Scale and requiring a Level 2 model making skill, the Racer is a scaled down version of the premiere racing car from the 1950s. It clocked in 170 miles per hour.


The model consists of 50 pieces, comes with two figures (driver and mechanic) and toolbox and features a hood that opens to reveal powerful engine. The front steering mechanism also works. Very impressive.


Equally impressive is Monogram's Model Racing McLaren M6A, #5 Dennis "Denny" Hulme, 1:32 Scale racer painted in deep yellow with full interior and exterior details. Look for chrome wheels, oversize tires, full body decals, front and rear scoops, rear mounted engine with exposed chrome header and roll bar and helmeted driver dressed in white. Zoom!


The Outlaw designed by "Big Daddy" Ed Roth is a custom hotrod with oversize, whitewall rear tires mounted on chrome wheels, front chrome spoke wheels, full chrome engine with six oversize side exhaust pipes, twin passenger compartment customized in blue and white, vertical windshield and front wing fenders.


My daughter would love this next car. She loves snakes and the Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR is a low profile racer, made for speed, stealth and lightning fast response time. SSSSSuper!




This two-passenger racer is painted black and white with solid black wheels, six front engine cooling vents, integrated lights and grill, oversize rear stabilizer, bubble hood, periscope side mirrors and a black, white and red V-16 engine that can be seen with the hood open. It's part of the Revell Performance line of 1:24 Scale, Level 2 series.


The '68 Dodge Dart Hemi is a wedge shaped muscle car that can be customized as either red with hood scoop or deep green street model. Both cars sport chrome wheels, flat front grills with inset lights, large front and racer chrome bumpers and customized engines either as a 440 or Hemi. Look for full interior details and with the red racing model a full set of decals is also included.

For the ultimate sports car check out the Revell Corvette ZR1. This red bullet is a powerful two-seater styled in the famous shark profile common with Corvettes.


This is truly a beautiful car with its bright red finish, body integrated lights, grill and bumpers and chrome, spoke wheels. Even better, it's a convertible! Drop the roof and open the hood to display the full interior and engine compartment details.


Although not a car the A-4 Skyhawk Blue Angels jet is modeled in 1:48 Scale and requires a Level 2 modeler's skill. The jet is painted in a deep blue with yellow wing and body details and comes with a pilot and working landing gear.
