International Scout II

This new Scout was shown at Lightning Fest and looks minty fresh. You'll see it in F64 R10. However, this one will fight for attention with some other cool releases. There's a Black with Flames Monte Carlo SS, Goodyear Panel Delivery, an Army '50 Olds and a 70 Mustang Mach 1 painted bright red. The Mach 1 has a Lightning Strike release that has bright red molded tires.

Tim Flock

I had the pleasure of speaking with Mrs. Francis Flock today about some new releases of Tim's cars. The first will be a Hudson but Francis mentioned a Mercury convertible, which I am really getting excited about. Would love to do a couple 1:24 scale releases as well.

Johnny Lightning Design Forum

Don't forget to sign up for the 2010 Lightning Fest Design Forum, which is being held on Friday July 16th, as we still have a few spots open. I will be giving an update on upcoming releases and what is in store for the rest of 2010 and give a peek into 2011. Before we get into a collaborative Demolition Derby car design, the group will participate in a live review of the '76 Dodge Aspen tool model. If you would like to register, please email your name and contact information to jllightning@gmail.com. See you in 10 days!

Jeep Cherokee

Hoping to get the revisions done on the Cherokee tool model before the Fest. I know you are excited to see Russ(Milezone). Don't plan on seeing any stock versions, even though I would love to make a version of my daily driver, because I am building the fender flares right into the body. However, there will be at least 6 different custom configurations of the truck with different bumpers, brush bars, optional snorkel intake and mild and wild lift kits. Not only does the hood open but I am making an opening rear liftgate. Plan on seeing all new mud tires with two rim options.
Have a safe 4th holiday!
