Thumbs down Revell Magnum...not what you expect to see

Got this at WalMart today. It is a diecast. So mods, you may move this if you want. I just wanted the regular modelers to see it 1st since I don't think they ever pay a visit to the diecast section. So, Ray, Mike, Jay, and the other mods, please give this like a day ok?





The color is horrible. It is a brownish gold..:X The rims are horrible. They are huge, extremely wide, wiht the tires. Look very unrealistic. The body doesn't look to bad. It is all shaved tho. Well, the side door handles. It still has the emblems on the stock looking grille and rear hatch, the handle is still on the rear hatch. The front doors open lambo style. This is a neat feature. They made it work pretty well.

Oh dear...I have to say, that is Revell's worst to date in my book. Looks like I need to send Sexton an e-mail.

Hehe...Well..I don't think these guys would like the Jada one any better. It's just the way is it presented. But yea, I have seen the Jada one. It does look better.

OK. So far all negative comments from this crowd. How do you think the Diecast section will like it?

Are my eyes supposed to be bleeding? That has to be the most hideous color, ever.

I think they will hunt you down and kill you, Maby if you strip the paint, repaint it a dark metalic color and find new rims then maybe it won't suck.

Re: Revell Magnum...not what you expect to see

Actually, looking at all the models I see in the diecast section, they will probably love it.
