Upcoming MPC Reissues - '79 Nova and '73 Cougar
Luc Janssens replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
HPI Guys just built the Cougar. I was happy to see that Round2 included the stock exhaust and a set of regular whitewall tires -
HPI Guy has the Pulldozer build!

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 -
Not a review, but a future release "hopefully" - Mustang II

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.

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

Don't remember anymore.

When driving it, I would watch out for mid '70s Dodge Van's in the rear view mirror. -

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. -

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. -
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

Would be neat to have a series of Hot Hatches....

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. -
Mpc Plymouth 68 cornet hardtop R/t with trailer

Maybe with two cut-out hoods, one can make a non-cut-out. I did just that, with Revell's '68 Firebird. -
The Future of Revell...for 2024 at least.

Could make it as some Pro-Street version, like Amt did with their OBS
