Yes it was a dark day. The time R-M had to grind the tire molds to avoid paying insane royalties. And to think a few years prior visiting the Morton Grove plant, seeing buckets of branded tires near the packaging line.....sigh.

One day certain subject matter may have momentum, the following day, A new deck of cards, and the hand you're dealt with tells you a whole different story. Think people like Tim boyd often think, darn we were so close having a kit of, subject matter x, y, z.....sometimes having inside knowledge can be a pain LOL

Would surprise me.

Revell USA updated their cover photo on Facebook, so guess it won't be long now.... Also Robert Glucksman posted some photos from his box-art build there.

That's old school thinking, Dave. Cuz they can scan the interesting parts of old kits and cut new tooling. For instance whole engine families can be tooled and tossed in newly designed "cluster" kits. IMHO the Kats at Round-2 are just barely getting started...

Maybe there's a "new" promo in the works to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary, since introduction of that first Pony car, next year? Only the Kats know.

The sky is the limit Steve! Anyway like where this is going.

Think these Round-2 kits could be a goldmine for a guy like Joseph Osborn of Fireball models (creating dress-up and greasy parts) and maybe even some collaboration between both.

Already did a mock-up of my pulldozer and spare box parts..

Maybe in time the Kat's from Round-2 start tooling up engine families and gearboxes which can be sold as parts packs or included in newly modular designed kit tooling. All in due time I guess, cuz they're cranking out new product like crazy, and I'm loving it

Will be looking for your report when getting ready to leave for work, Tim. Cheers!

Wouldn't mind having both Cougars either, even though I have both annuals. Cus I'm most certain the chrome on the reproductions will be much, much better LOL

Round-2 today is a real game changer and makes hunting for annuals somewhat of a risk, luckily my hunt stopped more than a decade ago, and I do hope that most of my wants will be recreated, anyway very glad the Kats are able to do their thing.

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.

Thanks for the pics Casey, this one is also going on my shopping list. Great to see that Round-2 is putting their back catalog to good use. Steve G. and John G. Thank you!

Got the newest release of this kit, and spent most of the afternoon looking for better footwear and for chrome buckets to put behind the headlamp lenses, now that's done it's ready to build when I desire to do so. First up after the Desert Rat wich is on the bench right now will be a mix of found Monogram Blazer parts and the newest Revell pull Blazer kit

Love the quad headlamp trucks, so looking forward to tomorrows show...

Nah...it's a very very clever attempt by the Kats of Round-2 to clean up the secondary market, you know those many kits one keeps seeing over and over at hobby venues and online marketplaces, like for instance the '65 GTO ragtop, they all will give up their underpinnings and other useful bits Brilliant, if I say so myself LOL ? ??????????

I 'd say post some good pics of it and who knows...... Anyway....here a shameless plug to a tread where I'm asking the many knowledgeable folks here, to pro-active aid kit designers even before "they" think of cloning, improving and pinpointing certain vintage annual subject matter Cheers

Wouldn't the '66 be more desirable?

A pitty, but as is my suitcase will be filled to the max already ?

Therefore this tread I started a while ago....

Any idea when it will hit the market? As I'm in the US mid April.

What's interesting is that, the clear parts for the missing top are included as well as the clear domes for the emergency lightbar of the Sheriff's Blazer.
