Jim B Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Could this be the beginning of dash decals for the heavy truck kits? Saw those on the Alaskan Hauler decal sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Really vibin' on that 55 Nomad; wanna turn it into an AWB gasser. Also liking that Willys dragster and 66 T-Bird. Nice stuff, cats. Take my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk312 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Has anyone seen the Charger anywhere yet? Really liking that one, and I see HPI guys already have their hands on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Nothing that really blows my hair back this month. My wallet can get a breather. Of course, Christmas. Nice to see that Aqua team van re-issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PintoKING Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Did you notice? The "Alaskan Hauler" has all the stock parts to build a "stock" W-925. Kinda like a 2-in-1 transport. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPI Guy got one of our production samples sent by air freight. Hopefully you can find them around mid-December. -Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Only thing I saw was the 2021 Charger. Can't wait to get an actual new kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I think it's a great collection of kits and diecast models. One correction is that the '70 GSX was only available with a black interior - not white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm keen on the Aqua Rod Chevy Van & Trailer. I remember seeing it at GEMCO back in the late 70's (unusual for a discount store to carry a kit in such a big box) , but couldn't get it (IIRC, it was selling for $5.00 back then vs. the $3.00 for a regular kit). Any chance the surf version (1973?) with the big block option making its return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Now I can finally get my hands on the Aqua Rod and complete my AMT van collection! Ivo car is nice to see again, and I can build this and keep my original untouched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Some interesting comments on the Aqua Rod kit.... * The new, second graphic treatment is derived from the original c. 1975 or so AMT kit catalog announcement illustration of the kit. That graphic treatment never made the very abbreviated decal sheet that actually appeared in the original Aqua Rod kit. I suggested they look at adding the catalog graphic treatment for the decal sheet for this reissue and they actually did it! Bravo to John G, Steve G. and the Round 2 team. * In an article on 1/25th scale drag and ski boars in Model Cars mag about 15 or so years ago, I revealed that the boat hull was a dead ringer for the 1/1 scale Kindsvater boat of the mid to late 1960's. But it was never referenced as such until this new kit release, which actually confirms the Kindsvater connection (see the side panel art in the December Round 2 video). (Prior kit releases did not specify the brand of the boat hull). * In preparing for this release, John G. had all the gates opened in the boat tool to see what if any of the original 1963 Rayson Craft Trophy Series kit content might still be present. Answer - virtually nothing except the parts that carried over for the 1968 "Hull Raiser" kit and its subsequent combo kit releases. Don't know about you guys, but I am sure looking forward to this one....TIM 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 The '55 Nomad, '66 T-bird are on my list for sure. While out of my wheelhouse normally, the Aqua Rod kit looks interesting and may snag one of those too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
