Easiest way to remember: Monogram label - Original issue, kit #2457, released in 1995, builds only a stock/factory version: Revell-Monogram label- Stock & Custom, but contains incorrect Ardun heads: Revell "TRUCKS" label- Custom with correct Ardun heads:

You add them to the Calendar, then I believe they appear in the Upcoming Events column when the event gets closer. The Calendar tab is in the header bar on the main forum page.

It will be interesting to see how the copper stripes/painted areas are handled by Round2. A few might be able to be done as decals, but it looks like a lot of masking an painting will be required.

Pic courtesy of Tim Boyd's NNL Toledo coverage, but this is good news. I was really wondering if this was ever going to see the light of day:

Are the faux vents molded as one with the hood or separate pieces? The nice thing about the Revell snap kit's hood is the vents are separated, chrome plated parts.

Maybe?: I want to say the Sand Dragon, Copperhead, and Flying Wedge (which is forthcoming) are all use the same or a very similar chassis, etc., much like the semi-recent MPC dragsters Round2 reissued.

You're a man of too few words, Dave. Hopefully the news will trickle down here quickly.

Kinda close to the real car...maybe? I would guess the Rapid Randy version was exactly as Mark surmised, with the paint scheme housed from Sandy Elliot's P/S...ehem, Comet:

Looking at the number of undercuts on every piece of I-beam used to create the master, I'm a bit surprised anyone decided to take the project on. No knock against the builder, but that many undercuts is a recipe for failure when it comes time to remove the cast part from the mold. Making the trailer in three larger sections is great for strength, but it's not practical to make from a casting perspective.

Just as Mike said above:

This, but the kit isn't that easy to find, and you'll still need to mod the hood to fit the Revell "glue kit" '69 Camaro body. I want to say R&MCoM makes this hood, though...might have to call or send them a letter and ask.

1983 Hurst Olds registry February 12 · Well I went to Revell models yesterday in Elk Grove and saw the test shots/ model build of the FE3-X and the 83Hurst Olds model. He let me take pics but asked I not publish them . But trust me looks really really cool, they have a few adjustments to be made , but looking really good. It's was neat holding a model of my car in my hand . The 83 Hurst will be released first as a solo kit in Jan/ Feb 2016, followed by the FE3-X / 85 442 combo model . I'll keep you posted

Can we get an update, please?

It was shown at Toledo or similar as a future release, but I want to say I read Round2 decided to get rid of all the excess Little Red Wagon stock they had first, so maybe in another year or two we'll see the TTT return.

I wouldn't be surprised to see any (and eventually, all) of the AF/X, etc. style cars released by Model King re-issued by Round2. They've already re-issued the '65 Mustang AF/X car, '69 GTO F/C, and the '73-ish Challenger is due out in November, so the '69 Camaro F/C, Falcon AF/X, and Cougar F/C can't be too far behind.

Yes, exactly like I said in the original post-- my predictions.

I would definitely be in line for one of these. Forgot about that one, but I'll temper my anticipation for the time being. I fear it would lean closer to Revell's '70 Challenger R/T-T/A than to their '68/9 Charger kits, which, if true, would be unfortunate. I forgot to list the MPC '84 GMC 4x4 pickup, too. That's a slam dunk sales home run for Round2, even without a Silver Screen sub-label.

Post an ad in the Wanted section here, or keep your eyes peeled on eBay or swap meet. Most people, myself included, are more than happy to get rid of them.

Just guesses taking everything into account. Anyone who knows for sure couldn't say, so the rest of us plebs are left to guess. We've seen other AMT/MPC kits which Model King had a hand in recently reissued by Round2, so I don't think it's a stretch to suspect a few more will follow. The '39/'40 Ford Sedan, MPC Jeep Commando, and '64 Comet all fall under that category, so I guess we'll see if any of them happen. Round2 has released the '40 Ford Coupe and Sedan Deliveries, too, and it's been a few years since the Sedan was last out. It seems Revell is putting a little more time and money into some of it's Tom Daniel reissues, doing some backdating instead of simply straight reissuing some of his kits, so why not the Poison Pinto? It wasn't massively modified when was reissued as the Pinto Street Rod, and it was last out in 1995 or so as part of the SSP, so it might be a candidate. I got the feeling from Brett's comments (and from the late-ish 2015 release date of the '29 Roadster) the Model A coupe won't arrive for at least a year, but we'll find put eventually.

I figured that was a fairly safe beet since the '40 coupe and sedan delivery have both been reissued in Original Art series boxes semi-recently, too. I was thinking the Monogram 1/12 '67 427 Vette kit, but probably not until 2017 at the earliest?

Let's hear your predictions (not your wants, wishes, and hopes) for which kits you think will be released in 2016, and by which companies. My guesses: Round2: AMT '34 Ford Pickup AMT '39/'40 Ford Sedan AMT '59 El Camino AMT '71 Duster 340 AMT '55 Chevy Bel Air Sedan AMT '50 Ford AMT '64 Mercury Comet AMT Haulaway Trailer AMT Caterpillar Bulldozer MPC "Wild Hoss" Ford Bronco MPC "Mudslinger" Jeep Commando Lindberg "Lawman" '64 Plymouth Revell/Monogram: 1/25 '83/4 Hurst/Olds Cutlass 1/16 Flatbed Trailer 1/24 Poison Pinto Deal's Wheels Stink Ray 1/24 '69 Pontiac GTO 1/25 Olds Cutlass Pro Stock 1/25 Chevy S-10 Pickup 1/24 Dodge Ramcharger

Curse you for posting this, Andy!! Hmmm, lop off that protruding proboscis, add a waterfall style grille spilling over the front edge of the hood, rectangular euro-style headlights...
