In a perfect world they indeed should've retooled the backseat parcel shelf. dunno if it's the case with this OEM, but remember from my day's at Opel, that the seating cushion from the backseat is longer on a 2dr than on a 4dr.

I'd love to have the Monogram 1/8th scale kit, but not at any cost....

Round-2 just posted this photo on their Facebook page, looking good!

Monogram was the brand of choice in my childhood, hope too that under the new management Revell continuous to use it .

Round-2 has the perfect starting point; their 71 Charger.

IIRC the movie car is a '72, so it will be a lookalike at best.

Still contemplating if I'm gonna buy or not.

Great weathering!

look great!

Bottom line it got Round-2 some extra cash, which can finance new endeavors, didn't I in the past wrote that tooling which is not used or usable is dead capital, thus waste and questioning the leadership of Round-2 for it? Remember I was even criticized for making that remark, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating!

With every move stuff which was deemed obsolete was unloaded, from tools to tooling models, to paper-trail, decals...you name it, or it was sold off, went to the scrapyard or ended-up in the dumpster. A couple of months ago, Casey showed something he bought from an Ebay seller, the latter got it by what is know as dumpster diving.

looks fantastic!

Indeed, me and my brothers had a few of those, they were in ABS plastic but luckily the glue for that was included in the box.

Which is GREAT news to us automotive modelers because it means more financial breathing room for Round-2, which can be used to: - a) pay of debt (but doubt that) - b) generating a bigger operational budget so they can take on bigger resto, resto-mods, and maybe even all new endeavors. (which is much more to my liking and likely) This news also takes away much (not all*) of my critique towards Round-2 and not only gives me, but I'm sure many automotive modelers a ray of hope, something we can all use in these unreal times! So really and I mean REALLY the best news in a couple of months and a great move on part of the people of Round-2! Luc *some of the mediocre releases which IMHO are detrimental to this wonderful hobby we all love, and hope to continue doing till our last breath.

maybe they saw the ROI on their other acquisitions and backed off....cuz nostalgia is one thing, expectancy another!

Possible if they have more of these type of bed replacements, like camper body, stakebed or wrecker.

Depends on who's unloading this stuff....

Due to being a much smaller operation, they were probably more expensive then amt or mpc and therefore lost the bidding for promo contracts.

Wasn't the Olds 442 also run in tne Testors HSO series?

The Ertl agricultural tools! Just guessing no insider info here Or maybe Glencoe?

I once bought a case of those, for next to nothing in a little toy shop near Liege, dunno why, Oops does that make me a hoarder?

Will cost probably 2/3rds the price of a model kit, better to buy the kit, and sell the rest on ebay, part per part LOL

Hey you're a guy, you're supposed to look at that!

If you would put this model in a street setting you 'll swear it's a real car.
