Revell Mustang GT 2006

[white97ex]

I didn't take the time to let revell know about the plastic...It didn't even cross my mind to tell you the truth. but I am headed to the revell/monogram site right now.

This does look a good kit, and I like the car so would consider getting one. In the UK there are a few revell kits I would like to buy (when I get some funds)

Shelby Cobra 427 SC
Corvette C6
Mustang GR 2006
Dodge Viper SRT 10
Covette Z06

I can't find anywhere in the UK that sells them.. Revell AG are not a problem, but Revell Monogram are really hard to buy..

Oh well, guess it's ebay from the states for me to get these kits, as I fancy a few US muscle cars.. Got too many japanesse and european kits.. Time for something a little different..

The kit looks like a good one. According to Revell's website they where able to obtain Ford actual blueprints for the car so it should be extremly accurate. I hope to get mine on Friday.

Mick, just be careful with that 427, the drive shaft in mine was too long and had to be cut down, easy fix, but annoying.

I need to go get the Mustang. It's looks cool, but I don't like the real ones.

I know what that's like. I put some kits in my closet the other day, and I realized that I already had 5 stacks of models about waist high.

I see those kits every day for $10. We seriously need to figure out some kind of US-UK-Japan exchange system. How much would shipping be from here to there on those kits? Because, I could probably save you some serious $$.

[mickbench]

Yeah, it appears that US folks get some stuff us UK folks can’t get and the same for Japan etc… This really is bad. If I were to buy all those revel kits, that I do want as they appear to be cool subjects that is $40.. That’s about £25.. Bargain..!! I’d pay that for one Tamiya kit over here…

[Whumbachumba]

I could possibly work something out with you. If I get the kits from Hobby Lobby with my mom's discount, I could get them quite a bit cheaper, the only thing would be shipping though, we all know how much of a pain in the ass that is.

[99civichic]

Well, wait until the next 50% off sale and I'll go get 'em, throw 'em in a box (gently of course) and ship 'em off to you! That'd be about 28 USD -> 16 GBP

Then, shipping through USPS is $38 -> 22 GBP

So, total would be around 40 GBP. Worth it?

Lemme know.

Man, shipping'll kill you!

[mickbench]

5 kits for £40..!! Worth it, hell yeah..!! Revell retail for around £14 - £16 in the UK, and four of them I can't even find..

If all 5 were in this country, on average that would be £70..!! So nearly half price, even with the high shipping charge.. As long as the goods are not over £18 and are a gift, UK customs will leave them alone..

Just why are these kits not in the UK? Doesn't make much sense really..!! I'm sure there'd sell.. The CR5 in the UK is doing well, as I was speaking with the chap who sold me mine, and he said he gets a lot of orders for this kit, as it's cheap, and has great detail..

Dunno when I'll get mine...maybe Tuesday, maybe not.

A horse-drawn Mustang?

Good call ZZ!!! Use Tamiya spray primer and Tamiya spray colors or airbrush Cobra Colors or HOK thinned with Mr Color thinner for good results. Marc
