Ok, What is that "Green Diamond" Racing car? Any More Pics of it?

Great Job!

Just Great Work. I like the attention to the little details. (Rat Fink Flag, Sponsor Decals on the aluminium sheet around the seat)

While we are on the topic of giving Thanks, I want to call out Steve Goldman in particular for all the information he has shared and continues to share with us at this site, (and the other one, too). He does not have to do this (I believe), and Round2 could just as easily tell all of us on the Forums to just watch Chad on the Monthly Update Video, and that would be that. Instead, Steve shares small and sometimes larger Tidbits of information about soon-to-be-released kits, upcoming kits, and even future projects or 'possible' projects. He very graciously responds to many questions, and has even asked for our 'collective' help in answering questions or knowledge about kits or kit history. It is great to read what he shares, and see the photos, as well. Thank You, Steve G. for all you have done and are continuing to do as an conduit between us and the Model Company we invest so much Time, Energy, & Money in, as customers.

Thanks, very much, MIke!

This ^^^^^^

Oh Noes!! Build it? A rare, collectible kit? Just Kidding. Build it, and have fun!

Speaking of the Sven Svenson decals, does any body have a pic of that decal sheet for the Model King Issue of this Buick?

Okay, Thanks, Steve. Maybe next time!

Amazing to see all the "Yank Iron" in one place in Britain.

Any more news on the progress of this kit? I can see one built as a Speed Shop parts delivery truck.

Thanks, Steve. That has answered my questions. New Decals, and New Tires. I may need one. Any way you could get the Luggage from the recent Galaxie Taxi thrown in? Or the Bike from the Lowrider Buick kit?

Just starting a thread to talk about this kit. I had never seen or heard about it, until the announcement earlier this month. I will assume that this is old AMT Tooling, cleaned up and re-issued for the first time in 40 some years, but I don't know if that is true. Does anybody know any details about the kits origins, and history? Any details about what might be in it now? I'll guess that we'll get the usual Updated Decal Sheet, and pad printed tires, but will there be an optional set of Wheels? Any other small goodies to punch up the value a bit, for a kit that will probably retail at close to 40.00. An opening hood? I can see one built a an unmarked Police car, but I am not sure what else the kit might be built into. I'm not put off by the Craftsman style tooling. In fact that makes it a bit easier to finish, which is always good. I have lots of questions, but not many answers. Thanks for all the help.

Mine Too. Glad I'm not the only one....

Aurora Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I have a partial, kit missing all the Chrome and All Body Parts. It has the Chassis, Wheels, Radiator Shell, and Hood. I've wanted to try to build the car as it appears in the opening credits as a Racer. The Big Triangular Gas Tank behind the seats has me stumped.

Glad to have you here, with us! Your Building Skills are Laser Sharp. Great Builds of older NASCAR racers.

Awesome Build! Roadwarrior meets the 1950's. I love it! Great Trunk Detail, too.

His review was very good. Revell really is putting some nice decals in kits lately. Notice that there are license plate decals for Canada (Ontario) and separate plates for the trailer. The trailer wheels are a bit too 1990's for my tastes but that is an easy fix. I know there where two different versions of the Bass Boat. Different Outboards, and maybe some slight changes to the boat itself. Ill have to look and see what they are.

this Ford motor.

Thanks, Jonathan. Glad to see it again.

Is that the old "Pink Pig" art on a modern car?

Awesome News, Steve! You guys at Round2 are are really knocking them out of the park. And My Views about the Camper Shell are very similar to the Ones quoted here by John Shoe. (aka 1972coronet) "However, in those 53 years, I can't recall ever having seen a camper like the one in the AMT '63 F-100 either. It's possible that AMT was basing that camper upon a prototype which never saw production; and, just as likely, that camper is based upon some obscure design which was produced in low numbers before its manufacturer going defunct or it was scrapped then redesigned." Without a comprehensive search of old Back Issues of Popular Mechanics or Mechanix Illustrated, it might be impossible to find a real camper that was measured for the kit.

Ford. It is the old Revell Parts Pack Motor.

What a great story! Thanks for sharing. I was 26 in 1989, just a year out of the USAF. I'd never heard of model swap meets or shows.

Pete, Thanks a Million, you are a Lifesaver! Man, that Blower is a monster of a thing, isn't it? I hope Round2 manages to clone it at some point. The '63 Looks cleaner, and more serious than the '60 does, at least to my eye. Going to wind up with both tho. The '60 for the trailer, and the '63 for the camper. Going to build a 'circa 1968' or so Low-Buck Race team. A 5 year old truck and a Budget Gasser or Altered should make a great 3 piece set. Kit even come with a push bar for the dragster!
