Attached are some photos of the upcoming release from Lane Collectibles (Exact Detail) LS-6 convertible. They are doing both the coupe and convertible in a variety of colors. What you see here is only the prototype which had approximately 51 errors still needing to be fixed. As of my last correspondence, all of these are being fixed on the final release. Pay close attention to the functioning cowl flapper. The release date is expected to be sometime in February at an estimated retail price of $109.95. Eric Trapp from Lane Collectibles had been very patient with all of the corrections needed estimated to be over 200 since this project started. They are striving to have the best diecast available and this version is no exception. Fellow sYc member Rich Cummings was instrumental in consulting on their lastest release of the Z-16 1965 Chevelle. Rich was tireless in his efforts to make the model as close to real as possible and the release proves this to be true.

Rick N... Do you know if Lane is considering a full convertible top as an accessory? Why do you think the Ertl T/K SS/EA Drag Car was cancelled? Will Lane be making this, or a Fathom Blue or Forest Green Ragtop soon? The prototype looks good. Can't wait to see finished product.

Hopefully the biggest flaw I see is being addressed, or I won't get one.. The front wheels set to far rearward toward the doors. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img] Get the proportions right.

Prototype looks sweet.Can't wait to see the finished product.A damm site better looking than ERTL.The only ERTL models that look right are the GTO's,Trans Am's and the Novas.All the rest look too boxy.The worst are the 69 Camaros and the 70 Chevelles.Oh yea the 70 Camaros look allright.
