New Releases in kits

I thought I would share a couple of pictures of a related though not by plastic hobby for a friend of mine. Cindy, these are for you.

I wanted to talk about some of the new model kits coming out this year. Revel has quite a few I want to get my hands on, including the 2009 Dodge Challenger.

The Scale Auto Magazine web site's forum has several people building comparative models of both camaros the old style (1969) and the new style to be introduced next year (2010). Several members have also expressed their intents to do the same with the Challengers, including me.

Not only is the 2009 Challenger due out in plastic a new 1970 is coming as well. This simplifies this building challenge considerably, but there may be a few issues with the new 70 Challenger when it comes out. Rumor has it it is molded from a die cast mold and may not be accurate.

I guess I will have to wait and see.

Among the new releases for this year are:

2009 Dodge Challenger

1970 Dodge Challenger

1970 Mach 1 Mustang

1957 Chevy- Black Widow

1967 "Bullet" Mustang fastback

and many more.

But those are on my "wish" list for now. All of the new releases can be seen on the web sites of the various manufacturers. I am still figuring out this blog site and when I find out how to put up a static page I will start listing sites on it so people can find them without searching the entire blog for them.

It was still very cold last night, so I didn't get the chance to finish priming or start painting anything. Therefore no progress to show on the camaro today. It is supposed to warm up today though so with a little luck I may be able to make some headway.
