    Perhaps the most interesting news is that Round 2 plans to show 2 other brand new kit tooling releases derived from their cloning program at the NNL East show. Presuming this actually takes place as planned, these kit topics will be absolute blockbusters!

    Round 2 formally unveiled their 1960 AMT Ford F100 3 in 1 kit at the show. If I understood correctly, it is planned to be available for sale before year end. Also shown was the latest test shot status (last time is was just a 3D print) of the Round 2 2021 Ford Bronco, along with test shots of several other recently announced projects.

    Fresh box art was on display for upcoming releases like the 1965 Chevelle AWB Funny Car kit. It was confirmed that the 1967 Cyclone kit is based on the 1990's AMT-Ertl took, not the original 1967 tool which lost its body to the Cyclone funny car kit back in the day.

    Happy to answer any questions you have, presuming I know the correct answer.

    Thanks for looking....TIM

    I’m predicting ‘70 - ‘76 Firebird/Trans Am. No inside info, just reading the back catalog tea leaves. 🙂

    Thanks Frank and Steve. Frank had to tweak the suspension on both Olds to get the proper stance.

    What did you do to get the convertible’s stance correct? I’m working on a hardtop now and would like to raise all four corners 2-3 scale inches.

    4 more different kits coming the first 6 months of 2023 but they will only be 1500 runs of each. These kits are being done to be a collectable as well as a builder. Check ACE decals for modified kits and decals of different cars.

    Interesting merchandising. Didn’t see this coming. The market is literally flooded with all the previous Salvinos releases.

    Just picked one of these up from HL today. Decals look beautiful. The plastic tires… not so much. I’m a little disappointed they didn’t provide rubber tires. Some flash but nothing too bad. No warping. It’s definitely a snap kit but the box doesn’t mention that at all. HL has it listed for $34.99 in my area which is frankly way too much for what you get. Luckily this week is 40% off, so I only paid $21 which is what this kit should start at to begin with… Overall it should make a fun quick build/slump buster.

    Thanks for the pictures! 
    It’s weird that there are only a few on eBay right now (highly priced, $50+) and none of the big online outlets have these yet. Just Hobby Lobby?

  5. For wheels molded in white, paint and scratch off the ridge with a number 11 X-Acto blade, then hit the newly-white stripe with a red sharpie. You don’t have to be neat about it because the red sharpie won’t show up on the black. Recoat a second and third time with the sharpie, if needed. Works for yellow stripes too.
