  1. But who buys and builds these kits, weekend modelers, die hard modelers, mix of both? Just wondering. Thanks
  2. James, Forgot to add this in my prior post, but which form of business, generates the most impulse buys? BTW is the SJR a well known brand name outside the group of people of which many frequent this and other fora? Just wondering Cheers
  3. The advantage of padprinting arming you as a company, against capricious licensors
  4. Interesting parts breakdown.
  5. Maybe the profile of the big market consumer matches their business case for the most part, cuz I don't see anyone here buying their Yenko Camaro, yet there is a market for that kit. Anyway....I'm happy that they're finally are doing the '68 Coronet, let us hope that the numbers are so that it further encourages them investing in the enthusiast side of the "nostalgia" market, but in the meantime until something really shifts I'm fairly certain that they will continue to play both sides of the market and everything in-between.
  6. When Revell released their brand new '68 Chevelle kit, Round-2 Rereleased their '69, the moment the news leaked about Revell tooling up a brand new '71 Mustang, Round-2 saw fit backdating their '73. They thrive on nostalgia.
  7. Sometimes it's just about brand recognition.
  8. Maybe it's a Nascar kit, to compete with Salvino's........like the old mpc '71 Roadrunner or '74 Charger?
  9. Dunno, it could all boil down how much they want for using their name and logo's.
  10. Has this been shown previously?
  11. What's funny is that their Kenworth Australian truck is labeled 1/25, while the Road Train trailers it pulls are labeled as 1/24.
  12. Funny the guy who designed most of the variations on the ex-Revell Venice trucks name is Klaus, Klaus Lassen!
  13. Who cares, the kit now has much better decals and non smoked clear parts.
  14. Did any of these IMC tires resurface during the Lindberg ownership, and if the tooling is usable would it be a good move for Round-2 to use them on future re-releaes of selected ex amt/mpc kits?
  15. Also what I don't see in the current car model kit range is an ambulance. a van could be a starting point to create one.
  16. IMHO, if one would think of tooling up an all new series of kits of this gen van, semi curbside would be the way to go, meaning no engine but a detailed suspension so that both rear- as well as all-wheel driven variants can be offered. The money otherwise spent on an opening hood and engine bits, can be used to tool up dress up features, and interior detail, opening back and or side doors. Just my 2 cents.
  17. No, you're not remembering wrong, there is an Mpc Ford Van with round headlamps, this one for sure cuz I have one in the stash.
  18. What I would like to know is, if it is possible to scale down the 1/20th scale Econoline (and other worthwhile kits, like the AMX) into the common 1/25th scale, meaning scanning an vintage kit and doing some math in the scanning problem, or am I seeing this too simplistic? Anyone here with some knowledge on the issue? Thanks in advance! Luc
  19. Didn't know it has a Art Morrison frame, thought only the sedan delivery with the funky headlamps had it.
  20. What if Round2 would backdate it, to a sixties or seventies street machine, box-art a black car with yellow flames on mags with the tail a little higher Would it fly?
  21. Here's also a good reference site. Overzicht van alle Kenworth bouwpakketten / Overview of all Kernworth model kits / Übersicht von alle Kenworth Modellbausätze / Vue générale de tous les maquettes Kenworth (eddylenders.nl)
