Just wish that they were being made in the USA.

Revell/Monogram made some great cars, in my opinion they were let down by their chassis - this is great news - hopefully the design improvements focus on the chassis / running gear if so the cars should sell well

Sounds like PM has bought outright or has at least access to all the old dies and tooling from Revell. Dont really know the Revell car line up that well. What were their more popular cars?

I have already written Andy. Whatever else anybody knows about him, he is definitely one of us, and a major helper to the hobby in the US.
