  1. I have both the original and the police version, they're beautiful time capsules and get a smile on my face every time I pull them out of the stash to take a look.
  2. Maybe because the van was based on a recycled peoples carrier, if the kit was initially designed as a panel Van it might have been a shorty from the get go. Personally I find the round headlamp Dodge Van's the most beautiful of them all, therefore bought every release I could find on ebay and Fred Stern back in the day when prices were reasonable. But anyway what not was or is, can change fast in these times of scanning and rapid prototyping just in great numbers let the good people of Round-2 you want one, and..... Photo from your files
  3. A good friend of mine had a Turbo, (his trade-in was a Golf II GTI), it was fast as hell, later he got a Clio turbo, but then got married and a kid, so his next car was a Megane Diesel
  4. OMG Casey you sound like a sales rep! And i thought you were one of the good guys
  5. The Impy being a H/T not so much but maybe the '65 Chevelle wagon, the ex-Lindberg Dodge Caravan could also be used for taxi service.
  6. I paid less then $100 for mine, but that was over 15 years ago, and when the new one washes up on our shores, it will be close to that, so still a good deal. Anyway, great to see they improved another yet another vintage model, so on my shopping list for '22 (for me '21 will be a carbon copy of '20)
  7. I'm with you, They wouldn't have to do an engine for it, snap-fit would do fine, focusing on dress-up parts and decals, Of course just MHO
  8. beautiful box-art, also have one in the stash
  9. Tim's book is being noticed, here on page 60 of the February '21 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines.
  10. IIRC in the '90s Revell-Monogram did some re-tooling, so kinda wonder if the tool still can eject this version.
  11. Found a neat box-art photo, of this baby vette
  12. From the Heller Facebook page: "One of the first parcels that arrived at our office in 2021 contained especially precious freight. We have just received the first test shots for the Estafette and they look gorgeous! Have a look for yourself. Of course we started to build the kit right away. We will let you know what the result looks like. It is definitely an exciting project. Have a great weekend!"
  13. You can always email them for shipping rates
  14. No, is only necessary if you have a business and will resell the merchandise.
  15. One problem tho, cuz now that the UK left the EU, import taxes made a return. Here's a good Belgian store (online & brick and mortar) Domino.be - model making at its best (dominomodel.com)
  16. it would require an whole new body, only the interior tub, chassis and rr bumper and taillamps can be used (I think)
  17. Like it, IMHO a much better kit to promote the hobby then something like the Daytona Charger they also just released (announced) In a perfect world Round-2 would release an all new Daytona in their snap fit series.
  18. If the parts you mention are grouped on separate runners on smaller tooling it could very well be, but just took a quicky look at the parts of that kit, and IMHO only the clear shot fits that description. So recycling CAD data yes, using the clear shot tool for the new release too, could be, but that also depends on which vendor they use fabricating the tooling. guess we will find out when the kit is released.
  19. Also the gap in price between new and old kit prices is closing, here you pay 38 Euro's for the newly released Amt full bumper Camaro, for less then two of these one could've bought the following kit Vintage MPC FORCE 440 Police Pursuit Vehicle Model Kit 1-0723 - Sealed Contents | eBay
