Dr. Cranky Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I just saw this one over at MODEL CAR ROUND UP and wonder if anyone has either information or pictures of this thing built up. I am assuming another kit fits in there . . . http://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/mpc-r2-787.htm I am drawing a blank trying to remember if I had ever seen this one. Interesting subject matter.

Lownslow Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 this was a pretty neat kit i knew about it before its re-release but it was always out of my budget on ebay. its really cool i plan on doing some stuff differently mostly in wheels and paint department. chrome is much better than whatever eco chrome amt has been using. 2 different sets of window options neat little box thingy decals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I got mine yesturday - very happy with it. Also my girlfriend is fascinated about that kit and she told me, to build it "now"! She wants to see every progress of it. The first time, that she is as hot like me, to get my hands on the kit! Here a closeup from the plated parts: This kit is absolut cool - i am happy, that they re-issued it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Interesting design...reminds me a lot of some Hot Wheels, Nylint and Tonka trucks of the era.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Is the OHC 6 the same (or similar, block wise) as the 6 in the 67-69 MPC firebird? Any shots of instruction sheet showing engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've always loved the 3-spoke chrome wheels found inside this kit! They are a little-bit "custom, racing, sports car, mag" all rolled into one! What are the (4) tires like inside this kit? They look to be pretty wide, and kinda low-profile!?!

Ben Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 That kit reminded me of this... That's the Barris Supervan. I have a kit of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
