Most likely, Revell never releases the model's when they say their going to.

Well, Parma Hobby is usually pretty slow to get stuff in (except for Trumpeter kits, go figure) but I haven't seen hide nor hair of the Revell Escalade.

Nice wing........... :rolleyes: :spit: :nutkick:

Wonder if the other version is any less gay.

It's nice to see them putting out tuner cars though

Man Revell needs to do something about their box art. I thought they were all snap-tite at first. They just don't look credible at all.

just decided i need an escalade, too ;)
the focus is nice, but the rearwing of the tuned version looks a bit oversized IMO

Did some searching for ya guys/gals.....EBAY has them gp into "toys and hobbies"...find models go into "automotive" and do a keyword search for the focus or the escalade....there will be only a few ;isted but there there!!!!

Off topic question, but any new about a new line of Champ Car models cuz it's BS that they ain't gettin' represented.

Looks good to me! I dont no about that mondo sized wing on the focus though, but it looks like they're will be a few sets of spare rims around, and they dont look that bad either.

SnakekanS
06-28-2004, 03:52 PM

revell's idea of a "tuner" focus isnt the best, but it should be a good kit dispite that

Vric
06-28-2004, 04:07 PM
well, the engin might be usefull in a Tamiya WRC car, even if it's 1/25

Revell's overall idea of a tuner isn't that good. We should leave tuner cars in the hands of Fujimi and Aoshima.

Of course, JuanPollo, the world needs a new kit of the other chassis in the World's Fastest Spec Series.

And no, I'm not an IRL sympathsizer, either. Screw IRL. Screw CART. USAC is American Open Wheel at its finest (with ISMA a very close second).
