Already have the Charger on order.

They had to be at run at Jo-Han due to the specific nature of the tooling. But if the specific to Jo-Han injection molding machines were sold, the tooling even complete is useless and don’t think anyone with a business sense is going to invest in custom made one off equipment.

Funny read the same the other day Anyone have the company address? asking for a friend

Indeed Mark.

And that we don't know.

a '70-'71 Challenger is also a possibility

would be neat, six additional parts could mean twice the sale, at least to some of us

Worn out, damaged....who knows...

I stand corrected, Tim. In today's world one easily assumes it's all about the money, as in most cases it does. So my apology to the person in question, as he was only concerned about conserving what up until the news broke was one of the best kept secrets in the model kits world. Luc

Here an idea for Round2 for a sibling of the Chevelle Photo courtesy of Jeff Corey! More here, if you're on FB https://www.facebook.com/jeff.corey.5458/posts/pfbid02E9Ssf1gLGpLa2z6fjSDPqYmo2WQmRq8F6dU8zvztv26r8fzZzK56ehwB9WeASjZLl

yes, but Round-2 didn't get their data from copying the wooden masters, they again started from scratch. BTW still find it odd, that the guy asked too much for the use of these, as he as an employee of Amt at the time was paid to make these..., the guys at Round-2 really showed him what it was worth

IIRC The problem with the Caddies, is box size, not box scale. cuz think they were indeed in scale but shortened in some places to make them fit in their standard boxes. Think Mark Budniewski can explain further.... But concerning the GTX and RR, you got my vote! IMHO the first one should be a '70 and later the earlier models so the market knows these are all new bodied kits. JMHO

Well....logic in todays world Mark....sometimes I wonder

Dunno Mark, in the US lawyers are known to come out of the woodwork for less than that That why I always include that remark in all my post about possible future Jo-Han projects, but if you're right, what's the hold up, Ha! You should know that I would love to see certain Jo-Han design back. Cheers Luc

The 3D scanning is indeed a game changer, anything in the back catalog from Amt and Mpc can be brought back by Round2, if there's a good ROI.In some cases scanning a mint original kit is far better than working on an old tool, which was stored improperly, repaired once too many times, or has far too many miles on the odometer, and I'm not talking the slow boat to China miles.Also with the upcoming '68 Coronet, for example, they can incorporate in the tooling (cluster) a ''69 and even a '70 model, without having to worry about the layout/design of the vintage tool.Another advantage of the scanning process is, once you have the digital files, you can produce the final product anywhere on the globe, and play out one vendor with another, the tool is just a vehicle to produce nothing more nothing less.The same can be applied to the Jo-Han estate, but it all depends on who can claim the rights to the past designs, once that is sorted out, the sky is the limit.Fun times, hobby wise that is

Can't really blame Round2 or any other manufacturer of model kits, for the OEM's being unpredictable on the terms which they can use their name and trademark. With the vintage tires they can switch back and forth manufacturers with the use of tampo printing as sidewall detail, but I don't see white letters on modern tires, so no option for going that route, thus blank sidewall.

Yep, the separate rear seat is also a very strong hint towards that Looking forward to the build video, especially due to the way the attachment of front and rear facia is designed, also like that they made all the grilles as separate pieces, which will facilitate much easier detail painting than molded-in everything. Round-2 is not only investing heavily in bringing back very interesting subjects of their back catalog, but really thinking ahead towards clever design to ease the building process on their all-new releases. My hat off to the Kats.

HPI Guys posted a unboxing video of this kit....YES!

One they have the 3D file they can do anything with it if there's enough demand...and hours in a day to do it all.

Post removed, James beat me to it with the news that the distribution of these kits can commence!

Sure they could add it as some sort of custom option, IMHO unless Round-2 can negotiate some form of GM blanked licence agreement, the GMC letters, even when separate, probably wont pass the OEM's final approval. But first things first, really looking forward to this kit.

Coming closer.... https://www.revell.de/neuheiten-revell/71-mustang-boss-351.html

Do they also have a company?
