John,

How were they shipped?
FedEx, UPS, USPS?

Posted by: Qarl Dec 19 2003, 06:35 PM

From the dirty bird sight...

Posted by: JmuRiz Dec 19 2003, 06:59 PM

Wow, i can't wait!

Posted by: Gint Dec 19 2003, 09:10 PM

That looks pretty nice.

Posted by: ss6 Dec 19 2003, 10:00 PM

Mine came in via Fedex Ground.

Posted by: Air_Cooled_Nut Dec 20 2003, 12:58 AM

Shweet! I did not realize there was that much detail. Even the targa comes off...wow!

Posted by: Air_Cooled_Nut Dec 20 2003, 12:59 AM

And the headlights!!!

Posted by: tracks914 Dec 20 2003, 11:33 AM

Wasn't someone on this site looking to have a deal on bringing in 100 or so at a better price?
If the CLUB could make some coin on it to help support it I would rather them than EBAY get my money.

Posted by: GWN7 Dec 20 2003, 01:15 PM

There is a couple links in the nailed section that tells you how to order one (or two) from a dealer (In the US). Cheaper and easier than Ebay.

Posted by: seanery Dec 20 2003, 01:53 PM

WOOOHOOOO!

I just got a yellow and a blue one!

they look nice! Not bad for a $50 model.
Lights go up, trunks go up, engine bay opens (a bit) doors open, targa goes on and off.


THANK YOU REVELL!!!! WOOHOOO!
I got one of my car before my buddy who's got a 928! Does this mean WE'RE not the stepchild anymore?

Posted by: SirAndy Dec 20 2003, 03:29 PM

And the headlights!!!

Posted by: Rob Ways Dec 20 2003, 11:03 PM

Awesome. Can't wait to see it!!!

Posted by: John Jentz Dec 22 2003, 12:23 PM

FedEx Ground guy just delivered mine! Super detail, paint not up to "Porsche" quality. Chip on the yellow ones drivers door and some small painted over dirt. Blue one has a small scratch on the trunk. Must have been built that way, no way it happened in shipping.

All in all I'm happy with them! Anyone else notice any qc problems??

Posted by: URY914 Dec 22 2003, 05:10 PM

Damnit!
Where the hell is mine.
I ordered mine first!

Paul

Posted by: ppickerell Dec 22 2003, 05:13 PM

I talked to the guy at Peoplekars today and he said mine shipped out by fedx Thursday of last week which means tomorrow maybe for west coats arrival.

Posted by: URY914 Dec 22 2003, 07:24 PM

WTF!

Posted by: robby750 Dec 23 2003, 07:32 PM

I got mine delivered this evening! Detail is very good and the blue is very close to my car's color. Now I gotta buy a couple more for the munchkins to the left

Posted by: URY914 Dec 23 2003, 08:03 PM

I got nothing.

Paul

Posted by: Chris H. Dec 23 2003, 08:07 PM

Me neither! I talked to the guy today and he said the next batch was coming in January 11th.

Posted by: Lawrence Dec 23 2003, 08:14 PM

Since the models are streaming in... can we unpin the "Get your Revell 914 model" thread?

Posted by: URY914 Dec 23 2003, 08:18 PM

Posted by: Lawrence Dec 23 2003, 08:21 PM

Did I misread the thread?

Posted by: URY914 Dec 23 2003, 08:29 PM

Seems they are streaming in to everyone but me and I set the damn deal up!!

Paul

Posted by: Qarl Dec 23 2003, 08:34 PM

I haven't receive mine either Paul, and I ordered within minutes of your posting the thread.

Maybe southeastern deliveries are a day or two behind!

Posted by: URY914 Dec 23 2003, 08:51 PM

I hope my wife didn't get it before I did and she's playing some sick game on me.

Paul

Posted by: robby750 Dec 23 2003, 08:57 PM

Looking at everyone's location that have received them, it appears they are coming from the north to south. Should be spreading to the midwest and left coast last.

Posted by: URY914 Dec 23 2003, 08:59 PM

Spreading from east to west!
Someone call Tom Ridge.

(I'm begining to sound like Miles)

Haven't got mine yet. South Eastern PA. But the again, I didn't order until about a week after the offer opened

Harvey

Posted by: URY914 Dec 24 2003, 06:45 AM

Today's my last chance to get it and play with it. Tomorrow we leave for a week.

Can't wait to cut the roof off.

Paul

Posted by: Aaron Cox Dec 24 2003, 11:19 AM

youre a sick man....

Posted by: maf914 Dec 24 2003, 11:44 AM

Oh yeah, Paul. I see. Now that you got yours everything is just peachy! Where's mine? Who set this deal up in the first place?

Mike

Posted by: Air_Cooled_Nut Dec 24 2003, 12:17 PM

Portland, Oregon, still haven't received mine

Posted by: URY914 Dec 24 2003, 12:52 PM

I like how they included a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper that shows how you have to open the trunk, pull out the roof, turn it 180 degrees, and put it in place.

I would have never figured it out without it.

Paul

Posted by: larryp Dec 24 2003, 07:09 PM

Is there going to be a /6 conversion kit available?

How wide is the biggest tire you can fit under the fender? (Do we get really little baseball bats to roll the fenders out with?)

Hey! Mine leaks goddamnit!

Posted by: URY914 Dec 24 2003, 07:29 PM

Mine has rust in the battery tray already.

Paul

Posted by: Brad Roberts Dec 24 2003, 07:42 PM

I did'nt follow this because I didnt order one...but LarryP and Paul have me laughing my ass off...

I'm #181 so I should be getting it, too

Posted by: jfort Dec 25 2003, 10:33 AM

duh...... what is the site where they can be ordered?

Posted by: GWN7 Dec 25 2003, 10:57 AM

Look in the "Nailed" section at the top of the posts.............

Posted by: JmuRiz Dec 25 2003, 05:33 PM

I just got my two, one in each color....they are AWESOME, thanks for bringing this to the attention of the bbs!

Posted by: VegasRacer Dec 26 2003, 07:09 PM

I got my pair of models today via FedEx ground.
A few hours to late to qualify as an official Christmas present.

I am glad I ordered one of each color.
In person they are not as bright as I expected from the photos.
I think I like the blue one best.

Posted by: Kargeek Dec 26 2003, 07:14 PM

Blue one arrived today, just after I got home from buying myself goodies at the after Christmas sale. Nice! Not bad for detail, I'll try and post pictures... DH

Posted by: Air_Cooled_Nut Dec 27 2003, 11:24 AM

Mine arrived yesterday morning My girlfriend was really digging on the pop-up headlights and steering wheel that moved with the front tires. I was simply digging on the whole thing. Now I finally have a 914 to go with the Boxster and 356 and 911's
