  1. Wondering why there’s no model kit of car/truck, x,y,z, here’s you chance to be heard, list as many as you’d like, BUT also do say WHY you want it! Tread inspired by John Shoe Round2 -- AMT & MPC Kits for 2021 - Page 9 - Car Kit News & Reviews - Model Cars Magazine Forum don't kill me Joe, Ha! BTW It's weekend, so let's go nuts!
  2. Got your attention now didn't I ? Anyway, for argument's sake, let us assume this is true and some model company is looking to release Street Machine versions of existing kits, kit like for example; '60s 'early '70s Mustangs, Chevelle's, Coronets, Chargers, GTO's, Torino's, Chargers, etc.... What are the parts you think must be included with these? How to proceed: - Pick a model kit - Pick the era (70s/'80s/'90s style) - name the parts you would like to see included (please be specific) - Idea for artwork/decals And repeat as many times as you have ideas for..... Thanks, and happy creative thinking! ? Luc
  3. Thanks Helmut you're a live saver!
  4. An unboxing of this kit, in Spanish.... (2) ? UNBOXING #70 MG Metro 6R4 1/24 BELKITS | CHRONICMODELS (ESPAÑOL) - YouTube
  5. No need to modify the tooling, just tool up a new body and the parts that go with it. Once you have the 3D design, the tool is just a vehicle, which makes Round-2 (or any other company for that matter) less vulnerable to China's woes. I do hope that during this pandemic when the money came in by the truckloads, the toy and hobby industry wisely invested all that money in new technology, so that in the long run the R&D is less expensive and the tooling can be made by whoever is the cheapest. Just my 2 cents
  6. Hi guys. How is the ride height raised on a Wrangler, different leaf-springs, extensions to the spring mounts? TIA Luc
  7. It's here!!!!! Much more (kit review and build) on Guido Kehder's website.... Pic courtesy of Guido Kehder. Heller/ Glow2b Renault ESTAFETTE Gendarmerie M 1:24 - Die Leitplanke (die-leitplanke.de)
  8. In a perfect world with lots of ROI, the folks of Round-2 could tool up a coup version of this model, with stock, drag and racing parts, even including extra parts which didn't made the cut with the original Ertl era release, like the ribbed taillite panel (yeah I know it differs, coup to FB) and for those of you who say, it difficult to modify existing tooling, there's no need to modify just tool up new! The reason a satellite approach when creating new tooling makes so much sense, careful planning (parts lay-out) mix and match and you have several releases. Cheers Luc
  9. The amt '64 is similar in that area IIRC
  10. I see the Manta 400, but not the others (yet) I've bookmarked their page and from now on will check on a regular basis. Thanks for the info Don!!!!!!!!
  11. Hi all, the following came to my attention, they're included with a magazine which is only available in Germany, Switzerland Luxemburg and Austria. Maybe our German board members can give more info, about these. But I do hope they will sell like hotcakes, I'm in for a few if I find a way to get them to Belgium Opel Sammlung 1:24: Alles zur Opel-Sammlung von Hachette - Abo-Sammlungen - Das Wettringer Modellbauforum (wettringer-modellbauforum.de) Bummer....just found out that my favorite car the Opel Commodore (A) GS/E is sold out!
  12. IIRC the '74 Charger is kinda rough around the edges, MPC back then did a rush job converting it from a oval track racer to a street machine, but with some TLC it can be done. The Polar lights '04 GTO will need some massaging in the headlamp department, non prepainted with headlight buckets, but doubt if there's ROI, unless maybe Round-2 tools up some extra parts so they can release it as a Holden/Vauxhall Monaro, but then again is the Australian/UK market big enough to support that investment.

  13. In a perfect world there would be a new tool cluster which can eject every Firebird model from '70 'till the '81 MY. Same for the same gen. Camaro. But alas....
  14. Here's another "Revell" racer... But anyway, bout the Beemer, can't wait to see that kit reviewed here.
  15. My former employer had such a camper.
  16. Don't know, only that the possibility of it happening was mentioned here or on FB, don't remember.
  17. While happy for the guys here who always wanted a modern kit of this type of carrier, I do hope that that other rumored carrier will be kitted, a carrier which hooks you up
  18. A lot can change in 4 years. But the hobby is doing great in this pandemic, so who knows what the future might bring.
  19. So a prime example that it takes money to make money.
  20. Atlantis better retool the '69 Charger body
  21. Modernized with LED, hmmm.
  22. I've said it many times that these square bodies, deserve all new tooling also some of the design costs can be shared by doing some of the models in 1/35th scale too. The same can be said for the same era Dodge pickups and derivatives.
  23. A pity is that when R-M redesigned for the Impala SS, they didn't keep the Caprice option albeit updated to '94 or later specs. Tooling up the trunk lid as a separate part would facilitate the use of the same body for both. Input welcome....
