  1. HPI Guys just built the Cougar. I was happy to see that Round2 included the stock exhaust and a set of regular whitewall tires
  2. Left over parts from the long gone stock version. Besides Revell is tooling up an new kit of the 84 Blazer, so why bother with the old Monogram kit, wich to many is in the wrong scale anyway.. Just saying Cheers Luc
  3. IMHO odd choice of wheels...like the ones in this pic better, maybe it's an age thing 😉
  4. They probably wait till the stock of the F&F Charger kits at the dealers dries up before releasing it again. Do hope that when they do, they include the C-side stripe on the decal sheet.
  5. It's common knowledge that sales performance of ragtops aren't spectacular, probably the reason Round-2 released it first, it's the first downpayment towards ROI on the tooling, the hardtop and other siblings will speed things up, of that I'm sure. so no worries
  6. decal would be nice. Maybe an idea for a "parts pack" decal sheet; upholstery patterns.
  7. Round2 is cranking out stuff at a pace never seen before, so....maybe good that the competition is moving at a slower pace, my wallet definitely agrees
  8. The glue kit or the snap-tite, cuz that one had a none t-top roof.
  9. Thanks for the info Tim! Just printed it for future reference. Cheers Luc
  10. When driving it, I would watch out for mid '70s Dodge Van's in the rear view mirror.
  11. Think the MO comes from diecast design, where it’s important that the tires won’t detach from the wheels when playing. just do as Chris said on his YouTube channel HPIguys and cut the ribs from the rims.
  12. While this car for many Mustang enthusiasts was a low point, I as a kid back then was impressed with it, Go fast stripes must mean it's fast right?! What also helps is that a friend of my father owned one back when they were new. But with the mpc kit modified and the amt tool ready to be injected with molten plastic I don't think it's in the stars, would be neat tho, especially if clear headlamps were to be included in the overhaul.
  13. A '71 Dodge Challenger would be nice too, also one of my favorites would be a mid-'70s Dodge Van. This time around I would ditch the engine and emphasize upgrading body and interior parts, plus decals a 4x4 version would be a nice addition too. In the '80s MPC had a lot of street machines in their lineup, but they were '80s spec, so I'm wondering if '70s style upgrade street machine parts to include with kits like the '68 Coronet and create a whole new series, would fly. Anyway....Who ten, fifteen years ago could've thought that Round-2 would become the leading manufacturer of automotive model kits.....cuz when looking at what has been announced by other manufacturers at the Nürnberg trade show so far and comparing that, to what the Kat's have been releasing this past year, and what I'm sure is still in the works, Round-2 is going for gold! Sure they have the advantage to have a back catalog a mile long, but still cranking out something new month after month? keeps the hunger for us plastic junkies to buy more alive, and keep the cash rolling in. Kudos to the whole team, and keep on surprising us! Luc
  14. 71 up to 76 Firebird IMHO would be welcome too. And what about a clone of the amt '69 Mustang stock and John Wick?
  15. Would be neat to have a series of Hot Hatches....
  16. My local Belgian distributor/online & brick-and-mortar store says soon on their website. Dunno if their shipment comes directly from China, or via the R2 USA hub/warehouse
  17. Subject matter like this brings me back to my childhood and while I'm not a kid of the Fifties I remember as a kid watching movies with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin and the fluffy period of Tom & Jerry, seemed like a cozy era.
  18. Hope the non-altered W-B is not far behind, preferably in the back of the same shipping container.
  19. Maybe with two cut-out hoods, one can make a non-cut-out. I did just that, with Revell's '68 Firebird.
  20. New top cavity would take care of opening hood, ejection roof and bullit plate. The rest could be grouped together on a separate tree. Guess time will tell if this kit is designed as a one trick pony or not.
  21. Could make it as some Pro-Street version, like Amt did with their OBS
  22. With that separate lower engine insert I wonder if a non-Bond version is in the stars.
