Even with no interior, I wish this one could've been built stock.

You can. Well, Stock-ish, anyway. Fill the hole in the hood, and use the hubcaps from the Christine kit. Not perfect, but close.

But that summary leaves off the best part - that it's molded in Neon Green.

[iamsuperdan]

Interesting. You wouldn't think a 50s Plymouth with 80s custom styling cues would be an obvious choice for kitting. I kinda dig it. I think.

I foresee a lot of custom Christines in this kit's future.

Sorry, fixed. You mentioned it elsewhere on the forum, which is what prompted me to search.

Round 2 probably got a good deal on some neon green plastic pellets for their tooling operation.  First it was the Jolly "Green" Gasser '65 Galaxie and now this car. lol!

I also appreciate the fact that Round2 has made an unfortunate error on that page and instead of "Trust AMT" it says "RUST AMT"...Freudian slip of the fingers...

Hopefully this means more of the previous Slammers will be re-released as well. I would really like to see Ram Blur and Road Block (in any disguise) again.

Plus the Black Force kit.

I enjoyed these Slammer kits when they were out the first time. I still have them. Between that fact, and seeing box art above, I’m sure I’ll be passing on these two this time.

If you use a little imagination, you can turn that Concorde into a police cruiser.  Here's a couple I did years ago.

[OldNYJim]

It's really cool that they've priced these at $16 rather than $30 or so like I expected.  For that I'll grab one of each just for slump-busters and to fill out my AMT Slammer collection!

[horsepower]

Still wish they would reissue the custom Ranger p'cup that was released. A little careful sanding and a little bit of Chrome foil and I make one of these into a pretty good looking midi truck.

That would make a great body for the current Cannonball Ruse group build (full race cars hiding under stock-looking bodies). Hmmmmmmm

Glue required on a snap kit?

I built the Street Fury a couple of years ago as the Joker's car, because why should Batman have all the cool rides.

I like these kits. They're great slump busters. I'll be glad to get another Fury, Here's one I recently finished.

The Concorde is actually one of my favourite designs from the '90s.

I like it. ☝️ That's a perfect car for the Joker. Much better AMT's "Joker Goon Car."

I passed on these the first time but I would like one of each and have fun with them...

Amazon has the Fury kit for $15 delivered right now - just grabbed one for a fun little quickie build.

Hope they go through with reissuing the whole set!

[OldNYJim]

Kit came today!

They certainly found a bright enough plastic to mould it in ?
