Fall Buyers Choice in stock now!
We just received:

1972 
Chevy Nova 1972 Chevy Nova Old Pro AMT #30106 $32.90
1965 
"Rat Packer" 1965 Chevy II Altered Wheel Base "Ratpacker"t AMT #30105 Sold out
1953 Studebaker 1953 Studebaker (3 in 1) Double Whammy AMT #30107 $26.90
Visit What's New to catch a glimpse of these waaay cool reissues!

The '72 Nova is one of the better AMT kits of all time. It has that rare vintage combination of factory stock and Pro Stock or Drag combination. Including a stock 350 V8 and a Pro Stock 454 "RAT" motor this kit is a "no brainer".

Next is the 1965 Chevy II Ratpacker. Modelers are spending all kinds of money on resin because original altered wheel base kits have gone over $100.00. This one is another "must have".

Finally, we have the 1953 Studebaker "Double Whammy". Don't let the box art fool you. It includes all the parts for a stock Lowey coupe, wild custom, or the Twin-Blown Hemi Double Whammy Pro Stocker. A true (3 in 1) in the best sense of the word.

The fourth sister in this Buyers Choice set, the Ramchargers AA Top Fuel, will be available in November. If you have a pre-order on file for this kit and wish to change your shipping plans just email us.

On The Homefront: Thanks for your feedback on all the work that MSE.NET has done on our web site. We are working daily to overhaul the kit listings and add in the aftermarket lines from our regular catalog. If all goes well, we should have a revamped robust site by mid November. Please refer back to Model Car News weekly to stay abreast of new kits and our progress on the site.

A Rare Find 10/3/98
1997 Firebird!

We have come across some of the very hard to find 1997 Revell Inaugural Race Firebirds. This is not the one Revell put into regular distribution RMX 4126. This one is RMX 4125 and it was only available at the race itself and one select retailer. Collectors are paying upwards of $35.00 for this desirable kit. Sponsors include Chief Auto Parts, RC Cola and of course Revell-Monogram. Production was very very low. We've got 'em for our customers for $9.90. This is a steal!! We are not supposed to have these... ssshhhh! Once again: they were not released through normal Revell Distribution. You had to be at the race, or on Model Roundup's Web Site. Go check it out on the What's New Page. Don't let anybody look over your shoulder while you view this kit. Thanks! To order this kit use part # RMX 4125 $9.90 Revell "Chief" Inaugural Race Firebird.
