The only questions would be the full details of what exactly to expect with the kit in terms of how close it is to the original, and how much is modern day tweaks to improve it. Hopefully more details posted by late this afternoon or evening. Don't know what else Steve is planning to show today, but based on what they were working on as of last fall, there were several other projects beyond the '60 F100 that amazed me and hopefully will see the light of day. Maybe one of them later today? TB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was otherwise occupied with our local IPMS Club's show yesterday, so I did not make the journey to Michigan. Do plan to be in NJ though.

maxwell48098 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I saw the coming '60 Ford F100 in person this morning at Warren, MI toy show. Very nice, and the cab and pickup box are separate pieces, and it appears that the front bumper and grille are separate pieces as well unlike the original. It was also hinted that different versions will be offered, but no specifics. I'll bet Round2 saw what Mobius was doing with their for Ford F100's and will follow a similar path. A '59 may also be offered as the cab is the same for '59-'60, while the '57-'58 cab was different in the forward part of the fenders. (The Modelhaus resin '57 Ford F100s show the differences, as well.) I for one will be a happy camper. I've used original '60 F100 cab for larger trucks like this fire pumper.

I have to disagree, or we are just interpreting his deliberately vague statement differently. He didn’t confirm what kit 1407 was, just that there is a kit 1407. I’ve learned not to believe these things until they are officially announced. Which just happened!

When viewing the model, yes. When I say putting their back catalog to good use, I don't mean tooling but once produced kits. Tooling is just a vehicle. Round-2 is sitting on a treasure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been happy w/ what they have done in the last year or so w/ the Chevy II wagon, '66 Mustang 2+2. '65 and 68 GTO, '68 Coronet...all very appealing. GIve me a new '67 or '68 Cougar kit and I'd be very content... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a moot point at this juncture, but if it was not the pickup then Steve would have specifically said it wasn't. Much like how in past days when the Chicago Car Club saw Revell items months in advance, but were sworn to secrecy there's a group of folks who see Round2's items in advance but likewise can't talk about it.

mchook Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I will be getting a few of these. Regardless of new or old tooling. How many of us are really going to build it out of the box without cutting it up or doing a lot of upgrades anyway? That's the fun part of building a model, to see how far we can go with a kit. Just my 2 cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekcirb13 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Great news from Round 2! Looking forward to building one (or a dozen) of these kits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatz4u Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 60 F-100 will be a great addition to my stash, I see more than a few kitbash options for it.....ebayers' will soon be lowering prices on their hoards.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
