Out of the new releases from Revell for June and July, 2012, I have my eyes set on their 1:24 GMC Pickup truck with Snow Plow kit 85-7222. It will be a great subject for weathering out of the aircraft and armor norm. This is indeed a very nice model kit release for the upcoming season.
From Revell:
A snow plow mounted to the front of a pickup truck is a common sight every winter. Featuring four wheel drive and a 350 cubic inch V-8 engine, it doesn’t take long for this GMC pickup to clean driveways. High-mounted driving lights help guide the way when darkness falls. Kit features a fully detailed snow plow, a detailed pickup bed, a mounted roll bar with driving lights, a four wheel drive suspension, separate frame pieces, soft black tires, chrome-plated parts and decals with stock and custom graphics.

Projects Mercury and Gemini were historic stepping stones that prepared man for the first lunar spacewalk. Space capsules were the transports that made the legendary Apollo 11 mission possible. Both programs proved to be ideal training grounds for some of America’s most famous astronauts, including John Glenn, Alan Shepard, Jim Lovell and “Buzz” Aldrin. Kit features one Project Mercury capsule and one Project Gemini capsule. Both kits include detailed interiors, opening doors and panels, astronaut figures, display stands and decals with authentic graphics.
