Actually found two of them....never seen one in person. I asked the boss about them, and if he was interested in selling one, and he GAVE it to me. He said he just wanted to keep one, he got them at a swap meet somewhere. Original 1961 Revell Slant Six mechanical model kit.

Lucky, that's got to be some kind of a collector's item
I want to see it on youtube
And surprisingly it may have more power then some new foreign cars
Keep all the parts it may buy you a fiat one day

They are pretty rare, no doubt. I'm surprised it has never been reissued. It's an amazing model, quite complex considering its age. Really looking forward to cleaning it up and finishing it.

yeah those are pretty sought after models.   

I was looking for one a while back to show my kid how an engine works...

That's a pretty cool find! I don't think I've seen a slant six example before, they are usually V8's.

I didn't know about the slant six kits either, apparently they released two. This one in 1961 or so  and a clear one similar to the visible V8 a few years later. This thing is amazing. Even the distributor and coil work to fire the sparkplugs, you actually have to install points and a rotor and wire everything up. I plan on adding some additional details to mine as well. For sure I will detail the carburetor and starter just to make them look better, and I will probably add linkages and a shifter to the transmission.

Also, found a set of plans! The second kit is pretty much fully assembled, and it had a set of plans with it. I borrowed them for tonight so I can copy them.

Sweet deal on that kit!!! Prolly expensive if you had to pay for one if you could find one!!!

Cool and unusual at the same time.

Does it come with its own oil leaks - or - do have to do those yourself?
