Any rumours floating around out there about when we might see a stock ‘70 Mach 1 kit announced? I don’t mind doing a kitbash, but a cloned digitally remastered version of the original would be sweet!

1948 Cadillac Series 62 Club Coupe 1/25 resin kit by RedWheel
Mark C. replied to Red Wheel's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
This looks great in all aspects! Not sure why we are getting caught up in the definition of “complete kit”, but such is the nature of the internet and modern society, I suppose… The important point to me is that this will build up to be a really nice model out of the box. Sure, it will require a slightly higher skill level than your average beginner, but we now have Revell Chrom in a spray can for those of us who don’t want to deal with an aftermarket plating service. The proportions and details look great to me, and that’s all that matters. Kudos to Red Wheel for pulling off a creation that has never been successfully offered by anyone in the past, AFAIK. 👍🏻 -
So a C-body only colour special ordered for a B-body. Cool stuff, that colour looks great on the Charger. I imagine that there must have been some ordered like that back in the day, though you would have to have had a good salesman who knew how to do this. Love it! Hope to see pics of your transporter with all the cars on it!

I recall the buzz around the re-release back in the day and was excited and looking forward to be able to get a long box. Unfortunately it sounds like things got messy and it never happened. With Round 2 doing clones of old kits, maybe it could be a possibility again, or maybe a year model that we don’t get, like ‘62-‘63 with a long box… you never know these days as kits that I thought were long gone are again becoming a reality!

Thanks Steve. This is very tempting!

That looks great! Is there a source for the Can-Am decals?

1968 Beaumont conversion kit
Mark C. replied to Wylde's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Oh yeah! Now we're talking! Love it! Will be doing up an order soon! Edit: Might wait for you to finish up your ’69 Beaumont first, though. -
I would just like to have some stock models in 1:24 or 1:25 of KC/KA spec Honda vehicles from the 1990s and 2000s (and up) to replicate the vehicles that I saw and drove (and continue to drive) around here during that time. Civics/CRXs, Accords (not JDM or Euro), Acura TL, TLX, Integra, etc. I know people like the tuned/modified or race versions, but it seems adding stock parts shouldn’t be too much of a stretch and would open up the market to people who want to model what most people drove in North America. LHD parts shouldn’t break the bank either, IMHO. I also know that I don’t have a hope in heck of seeing them, but I’ve been bottling it up for a while and it had to come out eventually… 😁

That’s cool. I wish they would offer a left hand drive option, though.

Thanks for the clarification. I had forgotten that the AMT ‘68 was basically a custom ’67. So a ‘69 is possible by combining with the AMT ‘70 tool, but a ‘68 is possible only by cloning the MPC tool, which seems to be within the scope of what Round 2 is doing these days. Then a builder could still kitbash with the newer ‘67 kit if they wanted a more detailed chassis. Sounds like a win-win to me. 👍🏻 Anyhow, as I have said before, I’m more than happy with what they have done already and am continually amazed at the new announcements as they come along. I don’t expect every kit to be cloned, but am thankful for whatever they do! It’s a great time to be in the hobby!

Would the ‘68 Impala chassis not be the same as the ‘70? What I like about the Round 2 cloned kits is that they build up really nicely as is, but if you want to build some of them to a higher detail standard, you can combine them with one of the detailed ’90s kits. For example, the ‘68 Coronets will fit on the ‘68 Road Runner (etc) chassis, the ‘71 Demon will work with the ‘71 Duster chassis, etc. Likewise, a ‘68 Impala would work with the ‘67 Impala. Anyhow, whether we see these or not, it’s interesting to discuss. FWIW, I hardly see these threads as “begging for them”. It’s a discussion board where we “discuss”… like kinda the idea of why the forum exists in the first place.

The pic shows a different ramp body, but it says not indicative of the box art. What would make the most sense is different year model, same ramp body.

72 Chevy Wedge Racer's Wedge release announced.

Perfect for a Coca Cola sponsored race car. -

Perfect! -
CAUTION: CLICK FOR ADULT TOY
Mark C. replied to satterwhite78's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great job. It really captures the look of those trucks. You are a much braver man than I for masking off and painting those stripes, but it worked out really well. -
1973 Dodge D100 Stepside
Mark C. replied to satterwhite78's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Love it! I have a Hart's Parts conversion and more or less that's exactly how I plan to do mine. I'd be impressed if it turned out half as nice as yours has. -
Johan '69 Eldorado done Redline era Hot Wheels style!
Mark C. replied to the60falcon's topic in Model Cars
Great job! Love the Hot Wheels concept. -
Great job on the Electra. If I had the time and money, building Too Many Projects stuff could be an entire hobby for me. I love their selection, though the lack of interiors can make it a bit of a challenge. Seriously tempted to get a '68 Wildcat, though.
-
I always thought the '73s across the board where the nicest versions of the Collonades. Too bad we only got one year of them (probably due to the fact that they were originally supposed to be '72s?).
-
Other than the wheels and stance, that looks exactly like one that used to be in my area many years ago. IIRC it was a stone stock GS with the chrome Buick rallys on it. I have a Too Many Projects '73 Lemans and a Johan Cutlass to use for the chassis. I was planning to modify the interior tub to represent the Lemans unit with the plan of replicating my high school car. Did you use the Johan glass in yours or did you have to vacuform the glass using the TMP bucks? I don't have vacuform capabilities so I was hoping to get away with the Johan glass.
