I remember as a child the excitement I felt whenever I got to go to the
Hobby Shop or Department store. The
first place I headed was the model section to check out the new model cars
Revell/Monogram had just released.
Back then model-making had one level-challenging! All of the Revell/Monogram models produced required glue, paint
and decal application. Revell/Monogram
models made models that fit together snuggly, required little in the way of
part trimming and included instructions even a young struggling model maker (like
myself) could follow. All of those
things still hold true today with Revell/Monogram models.
Sure they are a little more expensive to purchase (just like everything
else) but they're still fun to put together.
In fact, with their new Skill Level designations, easy-to-apply decals
and even more comprehensive instructions making Revell/Monogram have never been
easier or more fun.
Revell/Monogram has just released seven
new automobile models-all of them classics.
They range from 1:24 to 1:25 Scale and Skill Levels 2 and 3.
For triple value for your hard-earned cash be sure to check out Monogram's
'29 Ford Rat Rod 3 'N 1. Customize this
classic Ford as a matte gray pickup truck with whitewall tires, running boards,
short bed, chrome bumpers and grill and very distinctive door panel decals.
Or, you can choose a candy apple red hotrod with white cab, full chrome
grill, bumpers and wheels with whitewall tires. If that's not hot enough for you check out the aqua/green
roadster with wraparound flame decals, open passenger compartment and enclosed streamline
grill.
The Revell Muscle '67 Chevelle Pro Street model is a two-door darling of an
auto with flat front chrome grill, bumpers, wheels, trim and mirrors. An integrated bumped up airfoil hood hints
at the power under its hood.
Don't let its innocent appearance fool you.
This hot little number hides inner roll bars, a stripped down interior
and enough muscle to give the 'big boys' a run for their money.
Just as impressive is the bright red Monogram Classic Cruiser '70 Plymouth
Road Runner. This is the car I wanted
as teenager. I mean who wouldn't have
wanted a car synonymous with speed, grace and plenty of "beep-beep"
get-up-and-go!?
Sporting just enough chrome to sparkle the solid red roadster has red
wheels, a solid black interior and one mean profile!
Revell's Car Show Orange Crate '32 Ford Sedan is solid chrome engine that
barely fits into its swing up chassis.
Oversize rear and front chrome wheels hold custom racing tires, hide
behind a distinctive grill and nestle in between them a eight-barrel monster of
an engine hid underneath a two door, slit window passenger compartment. No
wonder it won a god award!
The Cadillac Custom Lowrider is a California Wheels that is sure to bring
its share of stares and looks of admiration and envy. With its square front, maxed-out-in-chrome, gold wire wheels, custom
green paint scheme with gold stripe accents and a sunroof and white leather passenger
compartment this white-on-green machine is a favorite. Sweet!
Motor Sports 'sports' a Corvette Grand Sport from Revell. With its distinctive shark shape this
two-tone, blue speedster has decals galore, twin white and red strips running
the length of the car and some impressive oversize tires on chrome wheels. Emblazoned with the number 3, the car is a
3-time winner for speed, looks and performance!
