This is awesome. Who buys that model and then does that to it - I assume it was expensive to buy in its time as well (?).
Honestly that plastic was brittle, I had one that I sold (and the Corvette) that also had fractured pieces and some cracks in the body (Corvette was worse).

I hare to be a buzzkill, but without an authoritative list of Round2’s current tooling inventory available this thread was bound to spiral out of control.
Many of the kits requested in this thread are annuals which underwent numerous alterations and thus cannot be reissued without considerable investments in new tooling. Others have previously been confirmed to be either damaged, lost or scrapped, and finally some of the AMC kits were literally rebadged Jo-Han kits which AMT never owned the tooling for.
For obvious reasons Round2 isn’t going to disclose a comprehensive list of their current tooling inventory or planned projects - We’ll just have to see what the future brings…
What would be the issue with saying what current, not “new”, tooling they have?

Just give me more AMT/Ertl-era kits, they are some of the best domestic kits in terms of detail and fitment.

I think part of the problem is no sidewall detailing that provides more definition, it is blank which makes it look taller.

The old AMT Monaco (TJ Hooker/Batman/Jokermobile) kits had a Federal Aerodynic type bar in them, and they came with 2 piece lenses in both red & blue.
I've also seen a few Aerodynic type bars on eBay that are 3D printed.
(Just fyi, the recent re-release of the Monaco in CHP markings has a Twinsonic bar, not the Aerodynic.)
I love that there are guys like you who have such knowledge of vintage light bars!

I am definitely interested in that S10, the only question I have is if they updated the dashboard while they were updating the grill or if it is stuck with the 1997 (I think) and down dash style.
In the other thread about the kit it is mentioned that they didn’t have enough extra funding to add anything other than the front end parts right now.

They'd need to throw in the '95 interior as well.
True, luckily they (presumably) have that too!

You can have them! 😆

I'm just grateful that you got to have it green lighted! I'm 44, so I'm always happy to see kits from my "nostalgia years" I.E. 80's, 90's and early 2000's! I don't care about the interior or styling update inaccuracies, because prior to reading the comments, I had no idea about those. And people checking out my models on the shelves at home will also be none the wiser. And Luc brought up a good point; I also did the same thing with my previous daily driver 1998 Ford Ranger. It was a 4 banger single cab stepside, and I later converted the front end to a 2003 with a Ranger Edge Powerdome hood, grille, headlights and bumper. And I also had Ranger Level II Alcoa wheels, so pretty much a melting pot of Ranger parts! I'll definetly get one of those XTreme kits, and speaking of the Ranger, if R2 ever bring back the Ranger Splash kit (which is on my want list) I wouldn't mind the same updated treatment, even if it's not 100% accurate to the very last detail!
Honestly they just need to release the Splash kit and throw in the 1995 grille plus a new decal sheet and I would be happy!

I’m hoping they offer the stripes that GM used for a few years!

Looks like Round 2 has smartly updated their S10 Xtreme kit to the 1999 model year with the revised front end!

Not real interested in the pickup but the dirt bike is 1/16th scale too? Don't think I've seen that kit before.
It is! They had a few different versions of that truck, the most recent being the monster truck versions.
Also funny you say you’re not interested in the truck, that line of kits (pre-monster truck) was a holy grail kit find for me! 1/16 scale kits aren’t real common, even less so one of a classic Square Body!

Some conversions look great to my eyes, but others have me wondering, what was this guy thinking?
On production cars the fake wood effect on the sides of a Country Squire and the faux spare wheel on the Cadillac both look tasteless and tacky to modern eyes. I guess back in the day, bling was the thing that American auto manufacturers thought would attract their main US customer base. American cars have become much more European both in styling and size so the bling has long gone!
Yeah, there’s a reason that the US manufacturers started making touring and sport trim levels to try and bring some European influence to their cars, because people were starting to tire of the gaudy chrome and boat handling!

Cool Ford. Very nicely done conversion. What color is that? It looks pink. (No that that's a bad thing. 😁)
It looks like he replicated the pink/silver paintjob offered on the 9th gen flaresides!

Hey Jordan, didn't realize that was your handy work...well done !

Thanks very much
Thanks! I think I may need to update it since I think some new shades have come out since then!

Thank you. This kit has lots of potential, I really do recommend it. Happy modeling!
So the BFG Radial T/A's would be correct for my build? My apologies, I'm not all that well-versed on tires.
They will be close enough to the factory tire, you may have to do some trimming on the wheels for them to fit in the tires since they are not hollow like the kit’s.

The tires are a little tall, but not too big. The stock base tires were a 235/75/15 and the sport was the same, and the 454SS was 275/60/15 which is shorter than the 235 by 9/10". The tires in the kit look more like a 235/85 which would not be a 15 in, but a 16" for a 3/4-1 ton trucks.
You could get the 275s on most 2WD trucks with the optional handling package. Fireball Modelworks sells a great set of BFG Radial T/A's in this size.

Hello Jordan, Adam, I think you're both right! I zoomed into the photo, and it may be a reincarnation of the old "Amigo Pack" kits, with the little dudes inside the box. I'm guessing the area at the top-right is actually a window where the 1:64 will eventually go, though for now it looks like we're just seeing sprues in behind. Thank you both, I hope this makes sense! Looking forward to getting this one!
I found a different pic with slightly better resolution and yeah this is what it appears to say. Makes sense then for the “big and little” text at the top!

Thanks, Jordan, for your awesome review and pics! I've never built a diecast kit before, and this looks like a fine one to start with, thanks again!
Haha thanks but it’s not my review, I just remembered seeing it before.
1 hour ago, Model Builders Mafia said:THis is not a diecast this is a reissue which includes a 64 scale diecast. THis is something both revell and amt did years ago.
The box says “1/24 diecast”, whereas the plastic kit is 1/25 scale.

The 91 S-10 in the upper-right; it looks like it says something something DIE-CAST at the top of the box.
Is this going to be a METAL-bodied kit? Hopefully it will be a reissue of this plastic kit!
It looks like it will be a re-release of this guy.
