I read a member's post talking about a 69 Coronet, but I have not found any sources of the info to confirm. The Feverbee was the 68 Coronet drag car. But that isn't coming out. The Super Hemi is the 69 Coronet drag car. Same kit as the 68 Feverbee but with a 69 Coronet body. I hope the MPC 69 Coronet R/T comes out as well as the 68 Coronet Feverbee and the 69 Coronet Super Hemi some day.

You would have to modify the front K frame as the swaybar goes through the middle of the k-frame and the swaybar is smaller in width. The 70 b-dies have this k-frame design. I'm right now using the parts from the 71 Charger to do this modification. Will look alot more accurate than what is provided in 70 Charger kit.

The 70 Charger kit is nice. Only issue I have is with how the front wheels are put on and not able to pose the front wheels, right or left. You have to use the little steel pins. Had Revell did a little better with the front suspension like on the 68 and 69 Charger kits where you had the more detailed king pins and poseable front wheels would have made it better kit.

Isn't Okey Spaulding currently doing parts for some of the Johan kits ? -
Thinkful Wishing about Round2 Models, future Kits.
GMP440 replied to stavanzer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
My reissue list would be: AMT 67 Galaxie hardtop, MPC 1968 Dodge Coronet Feverbee, MPC 69 Dodge Coronet Superhemi, MPC 75 Firebird -
Looks good. You used the Revell/Monogram 69 Superbee chassis? Who did you get the body from?
-
Was the red on the sides of the body a decal you used or painted?
-
Shouldnt be difficult, Revell 68 Landy Charger has the slicks and front skinny tires, Cragers, headers that can be used on the MPC 68 Coronet except the decals are incorrect. Alot of the racing parts are found as well in the Coronet kit.

Since Round 2 has released the MPC 68 Coronet R/T kit, what are the chances of them doing a Dick Landy version?

1/12 Lancia Fulvia teaser from Italeri?
GMP440 replied to The Creative Explorer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks for posting the pic of the polar expedition version. Yes. I remember that box art now. I noticed the info stating it's a 1967 issue. Looks like this Lancia diecast was available for a number of years. I got mine around 75 or 76. -
Has anyone read anywhere about Round 2 announcing the release of the Un Real Edsel kit sometime in 2025?

Here is HPI Guy's build video on the upcoming Olds Cutlass F-85 Streaker AWB car.

1/12 Lancia Fulvia teaser from Italeri?
GMP440 replied to The Creative Explorer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Here is a diecast Fulvia I got many years ago while I was vacationing in Italy. Here are some pics of it. The hood does open showing the engine. Also, the trunk opens too. Will add those pics later today. The car came painted with snow depicting running a rally through the Arctic. -
Anyone on the board get to go to the DAAM show today?
GMP440 replied to GMP440's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I saw the pics. Good news on the 65 Barracuda. That news was pretty surprising. Didn't think or consider that one to ever be released again. Thanks to Steve G. and the rest of the Round 2 people for bringing back these oldies. -
Very nice. Looks good. Which kit did the rear chrome steel wheels come from from?
-
Will we be seeing the AWB F-85 Olds Cutlass drag kit this year?
GMP440 replied to GMP440's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
That's good news. Looking forward to this one. Thanks for the update.
