The Atomic City Jo-Han booth was quite nice. I took a couple pics. I have no idea if this Jo-Han has any connection to Okay’s Jo-Han. They had T-shirts, 3D printed parts and other merch. Had a neat Jo-Han factory front diorama. They have more pics on their FB page.. https://www.facebook.com/AtomicCityModelCars/

The new late 70s MPC reissue is the ‘77 Dodge Warlock pickup.

I've only seen the 30s-50s style Checkers in photos and old movies, never seen one in person. The green/white late 30s model appears to have a folding rear roof over the back seats, seen photos of them with the rear compartment open like a landaulet. About the only Checkers I've seen in person were 60s-80s models.. I remember driving past a field full of them years ago here in NE Ohio somewhere..

Box art says 1/25.

It's a 30s Checker cab. They were made that way w/ the cutout front fenders.

Yeah, see that now. Never seen these on civilian Chargers. Must be specific to police packages.

At the Akron Plastic Underground show yesterday got a neat ‘70s AMT Indy Car kit, 3 early ‘90s AMT kits, and 3 sets of sweet Z-Man wheels.

The Ohio Highway Patrol Chargers I see have aluminum multi spoke wheels (or are those plastic wheel covers over the slotted steelies? )

From today’s Akron show:

A couple other pics from the Akron show, with the Demon, Mach Won and ‘60 Ford F100.

No.. it was crowded in there, didn't want to block the aisle too long. It looked good. Edit: I do have a closer pic of it. Was focusing on the Warlock.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the stock '64 on display..will be nice.

Looks like a stock ‘64 is coming. Like the ‘65 GTO, opening hood, no engine. Chatted briefly with Round 2's Steve Goldman about it.

Round 2 had a nice display at the Plastic Undercover event in Akron, Ohio today. Lots of new and upcoming items on display. The '60 & '63 Ford trucks look great, as does the '70 Mach Won, '71 Demon and '77 Warlock....

Would be an interesting variant to make a kit of. I hope they eventually do the C8 Z06.

Wonder what it is…some sort of tanker truck.

New Revell tool. Mentioned in the Revell new release thread earlier today.

Probably.. I think the '64 always sells well, so they reissue it every few years in different box art..

Hope they do a shortbed step side with the small back window cab

Interesting...when did the Jo-han facility cease to be? Apparently later than I thought..

It's the old IMC tooling, released previously under the Lindberg brand..

No idea..wonder if they were new old stock kits that Testors added new boxes and those ugly metal wheels to..I thought the actual Johan/Seville/X-El manufacturing entity was gone well before 1998...

That would be a custom, the Firebird didn't have hideaway headlights as an option..the Ford pickup is an old Revell kit from '80, not really accurate as real duallies were longbed F350s.

Have to take Revell at their word..the box art in the photo above says 1:25th (the Monogram was 1:24th) and also says 'All New Tooling'..

Looking forward to the C8s and that Blazer.
