Motor City Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I don't know about others, but I have difficulty displaying many 1/25th models at a time. The Auto World series of 1/18th cars (especially the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals series) take up substantially more room to display. I probably have about a dozen of this scale and none on display. It's too bad that series isn't in 1/25th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youpey Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 i really like the ford courier pickup. thats probably the only one im looking forward to in this set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The Ford race car set definitely. The Plated tanker if I did not already have one. If I collected Die-cast then the Mustang and Charger for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The Ford drag set is pretty cool, but I already have an unbuilt '64 Galaxie, two AWB Falcon glue bombs to restore and one unbuilt kit, and two or three unbuilt Blueprinter service trailers. Still, if the decal sheet is just WAY hella cool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Looking forward to the Galaxie/Falcon kit and the Cornbinder cabover. Seems like lately I've been building 1 kit then buy 2 more to fill the hole in the stash. It's fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My spouse is a bookaholic and we don't have the space to put everything. I have a bunch of 1/18 diecast that haven't seen the light of day for a decade or so. The detail isn't that wonderful anyway, so I don't think they would lose much if the 1/24 shrink ray hit them. Definitely some subject matter I would buy if they were 1/24.

MrObsessive Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 That '64 Ford drag set has my attention! I've never had a kit of that year Ford.........and I already have a very restorable '64 Falcon I could put on the trailer. I do believe the Galaxie is a snap fit? Looks like it could be an excellent candidate for kit-bashing with their '60 Starliner. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The Duesenberg and the Lagonda have my attention. Now if only they were in 1/24/5 kit form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxwell48098 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Amazing that they completely re-tooled that IH highway tractor, and improved upon the original kits as well Thank You Round 2! A.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 These guys really know their audience! Hey Revell, see the quarter window on the Mustang? That's the way it's supposed to look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Amen! That was the Holy Grail kit for a lot of truck guys. I’ll bet we see a mess of originals on eBay soon! And after years of whining for a new tool truck, let’s hope buyers respond!

Motor City Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Yes, that should be a great kit for truck fans and congratulations to Round2 for making the effort to improve it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 If they offer the '64 Galaxie separately later on, I'll nab one. I wonder when/if we'll see the '65 Malibu and the '63 Nova with a similar combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. When Ertl brought that out, you had to heat swage the front axles to capture the wheel on their kits. Looks like Round2 changed that to a slotted peg to just snap on the wheel.

ksnow Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 That race car and hauler combo looks cool. That just might get ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Courier looks cute, but that's the one grabbing my attention, strictly because it's all-new tooling. I'll have one and I didn't even whine ask for it.

espo Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I think I'll buy the Ford Drag kit combo for the trailer alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69_Stingray Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Some awesome kits there! The three pack of car, trailer, and drag car looks sweet! Wish they made prints of the artwork, so you could frame and hang them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
