Revells new choppers

[empyrium]

Hi guys

I´m confused now... Wasnt the plan that 4 new Revell 1/12 choppers were coming? We allready have the Torch, Bonedaddy, Crusader, and Aces high. Now I see on Model Roundup that 2 more is expected. The Gambler and the Fireball...

And by the way, the kits look very similar considering the drawings. How are the kits in real life? I´m aware of all the extra parts in each kit, but how are they compared to each other? Big difference or too similar?

The first two kits were the Aces Wild and Crusader. The Aces kit is a softtail and the Crusader is a hardtail. Different tanks, wheels, bars, exhaust pipes, seats, forks, air cleaners and belt covers between the two. there are some shared parts between the two, but almost all are interchangable between the two kits without any reworking except the rear fenders.

The two newest kits are the Bone Daddy and Torch. The Torch is the same frame as the Aces kit, but has new wheels, pipes, belt cover and seat different from the first two kits. The Bone daddy has the same frame as the Crusader but is just a mix of parts from both the Aces and Crusader with no new parts, except the decals.

The final two, the Gambler and Fireball are not out yet, but I bet they will be by the end of the month. From the pics I've seen they don't look like they have any new parts except wheels, but it's hard to tell from the small photos I've seen.
