  1. Not great, but here's an image of the AMT Piranha's trailer: A better shot, this time a screengrab from hpiguys/Chris' video review of the AMT Piranha Drag Team reissue:
  2. Love it...buts need more "so '90s!" wheels. ?
  3. The reissued AMT Monza 2+2 was, I believe, the first Round2 kit to include the Goodyear Rally GT tires in question:
  4. I must've been thinking of something else. I'll add John G's comments from 2015 to the combo kit topic.
  5. One a current release, another a soon-to-be-reissued, and the Nova combo...? Here's are John Gruszcela (may have butchered that) comments from 2015 regarding the viability of the AMT combo kits: Daniel says: January 16, 2015 at 5:13 pm cal-Drag combo? Chevelle drag team? Indy Drag combo? Shelby Drag team? Reply JohnG says: January 19, 2015 at 9:52 am Cal Drag Combo: not beyond the realm of possibility but the trailer would require some backdating at the very least. Chevelle Drag Team: can’t reissue as the Chevelle Time Machine AWB was modified into the modified stocker. The AWB chassis used under the Chevelle, Olds F-85 and Edsel “funny cars” was not found. Indy Drag combo: can’t reissue as the Nova wagon was modified into the Boss Nova drag vehicle. Shelby Drag Team: some comments on trailer, ’68 Shelby missing several original parts.
  6. I think the AMT '53 Ford pickup/Shelby 289 Cobra kit sold well, but the Piranha double kit appears to have been a huge dud. Granted, it's two very unique, oddball vehicles packaged together, so maybe apples-to-oranges? Hopefully the Cal Drag Combo is selling well, and Round2 has the '53 Ford Pickup/Mod Socker Hauler combo in the works, so it might be possible. That Galaxie is long gone, as mentioned by John G of Round2, and I think it was mentioned somewhere several of the unique bits for the GT500 have been lost, too-- the blistered hood for sure. It wouldn't be terribly difficult for Round2 to substitute another full-sized Ford car or truck to pull it, though, and re-tool some of the Mustang's missing parts, however.
  7. Coming soon, the 1/25 AMT Ford C-900 Tractor and 27' pup trailer, with USPS decals:
  8. I have you covered, Jonathan. I don't believe they were included in any other kits. Don't forget about the matching flamed steering wheel, too. ?
  9. I'm guessing these are the smallest Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, with different RWLs. Can you post a pic of the tread area and a measurement or two, please?
  10. Probably should have posted this her instead, so, sorry for the double-dip: Revell could simply straight reissue these and rake in the money: 1/25 '68 Pontiac Firebird 1/25 '67 Camaro 1/25 '77 Monte Carlo Snap 1/25 '49 Mercury Woodie Wagon 1/25 '41 Willys, race/gasser version 1/25 '60 Chevy Impala Hardtop 1/25 '99 Chevy Pickup 1/25 '57 Ford Sedan Gasser 1/25 '70 Plymouth HEMI Cuda 1/24 '70 Plymouth Road Runner 1/24 '55 Chevy Street Machine Some Round2 reissues: 1/16 '55 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop 1/16 '57 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop 1/16 '57 Nomad 1/16 '63 Corvette AMT '63 Pontiac Tempest AWB MPC Open Road Camper AMT '64 Mercury Comet Caliente MPC '84 Toyota Supra IMC Touch Tone Terror Dodge A-10 Pickup
  11. I think Revell designed this kit concurrently with their 1/25 scale version, as the parts design and breakdown is very similar in many areas, including the separate, lift-off roof panel. I doubt it will ever be re-issued, though I would be delighted to be wrong on that. To my knowledge, it's never been re-issued, nor has the sibling Movin' Out version-- neither has been seen since 1977 or '78.
  12. Doh. Fixed. Had the '48 Ford Custom on the brain and list, then deleted it because I wasn't so confident that'd be a good seller.
  13. Revell could simply straight reissue these and rake in the money: 1/25 '68 Pontiac Firebird 1/25 '67 Camaro 1/25 '77 Monte Carlo Snap 1/25 '49 Mercury Woodie Wagon 1/25 '41 Willys, race/gasser version 1/25 '60 Chevy Impala Hardtop 1/25 '99 Chevy Pickup 1/25 '57 Ford Sedan Gasser 1/25 '70 Plymouth HEMI Cuda 1/24 '70 Plymouth Road Runner 1/24 '55 Chevy Street Machine
  14. Here's a look inside the 1/16 scale Revell "Big Bad Van" Chevy custom van kit from 1977: https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1667/revell-big-bad-chevy-custom All of the (insert adjective here) custom parts from the van craze era are well represented in this one, from acres of diamond tufted interior panels to the flares, spoilers, mag wheels, and huge graphics for the quarter panels. Kenny Youngblood box art is a nice bonus.

  17. AMT 1359 -- 1949 Ford Coupe "The 49er":
  18. $60 is a good starting point. Adjust up or down based upon condition and completeness...and the buyer's desperation. ?
  19. That might explain why I've never seen one. ? Thanks for the pic. ?
  20. Has anyone ever seen this one, or better yet, do you have one and can post a pic of it? MPC '76 Pinto:
