Maybe some more farmer's protests in Europe at the time of release will give this one an extra boost

Most likely because past sales numbers show the subject matter strongly appeals to the average impulse buyer.

Neat wheels!

Looks like Chris of Hpiguys is building one.... A question for Steve Goldman tho; is the stock grille still included or is blocked off? Cheers Luc

Why was the Supernatural 67 Impala 4 door kit discontued?
Luc Janssens replied to GMP440's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
If this is what it takes to have a standard bench seat and OEM wheels, I'm all for it, besides think it will be nice in red. Cheers! -
The Future of Revell...for 2024 at least.
Luc Janssens replied to niteowl7710's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Tim, I believe they are, tho later on Klaus Lassen of Revell Germany designed all kinds of variations. You can find him on Facebook Cheers! -
1/25 AMT Kenworth/Challenge Transit Mixer
Luc Janssens replied to Casey's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Have one too, the plan is to mate the mixer bits to a Autocar truck, cuz IMHO it looks more like a rough work truck. A project for when I retire in 5 or do years. -
Upcoming MPC Reissues - '79 Nova and '73 Cougar
Luc Janssens replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
In a perfect world, there would be tooling for almost every type of engine once available, which with modular tooling can be added to subject X, Y or Z. Anyway, If Round2 had such an engine it would've been easier and more cost-effective for them to scan and improve than start from scratch, they hardly can scan an engine of a competitor, no?! Now that we're talking about engines, I wonder what happened to the masters of the Ross Gibson resin engines and if they can't be scanned and have the design adapted to injection molding.... Yeah...I'm in a what if mode again, please kill me LOL -

Bummer to get it presented all in one box, but as a modeler there are options, as you wrote Tim. -
Upcoming MPC Reissues - '79 Nova and '73 Cougar
Luc Janssens replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Is there an engine in an Amt or Mpc kit that can be used for this, the rationale behind this is that it can be reversed engineered by Round2. I know it up's the cost, it's just for a one-pager what if? -
Always great to learn from those with grease and brake dust on their hands and overall, how the mechanical bits work and interchange.

Luc Janssens replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Would there be interest in backdating this kit into a '71, and if so would it take more that retooling a new front bumper-grille assy' and rear bumper with taillites? Cheers Luc -
IMHO, you're selling a dream, one which one can't own in real life due to practical reasons, like having a family. How many two doors went out the door when the first child was born, only to regret selling it when the kids went out the door. In other cases it's all about the dream "if I was a rich man, race or rally driver" and not stuck in this boring nine-to-five job; Exotics, WRC, Nascar, etc... But then there's nostalgia too, which makes annual kits built as a kid come back. Still, I also wonder if reminiscing that old family 4dr. or wagon would be equally as strong or stronger incentive to wanna buy a model or model kit of one's past family history. IMHO a good way to test this would be releasing the Super Natural Impy as a regular Impala, tooling up new wheels and bench seat. Yeah...I know I'm getting of track here, but always nice to brainstorm over stuff like this Cheers Luc
