You're spot on. I agree. I don't think that thread will continue. I beleive we've closed the book on that one. We'll probably see new threads on this kit where builders are showing their completed Coronets. Thanks for the compliments.

I totally agree with you. Prices are going up on everthing; that's just the way it is. I also use Duplicolor. It's a great paint paint. Far superior than the Tamiya or Testors. Been using Duplicolor for many years. The prices have gone up on those but, I will continue staying with it.

Looks like this thread continues. As was stated previously, 3 are done. My list of possible subjects remaining to be cloned: AWB 64 Cutlass F-85 "The Steaker", 67 Galaxie, 69 Coronet R/T, 71 Dodge Demon, 67 Bonneville, 67-69 Chevy C-10 truck.

When was this last issued?

Gosh , I remember that. I was one of the ones that every now and then would start a thread on the MPC 68 Coronet and hoping it would some day be released. Had a few naysayers on those threads stating that Round 2 would never do it because it was not cost effective or the tooling was gone because it was modified for the 69 Coronet. Even a couple stated that they hope it's not released just to keep the values up on the originals. For the most part, they were wrong. Very happy that this is finally happening. Definetly a long time coming.

Lets continue this thread; I would say soon to be followed: The AMT 67 Galaxie and AMT AWB Olds Cutlass F-85. Tim Boyd and Steve G; how far off would these be?

Excellant news. We were close on the guesses made for the altered wheel base cars. Looking forward to this one. I wonder if the AWB Cutlass F-85 Streaker will be following this one?

Trying to think what JoH is.

Saw this on Round 2's FB site. "The Lil Hustler" Datsun drag truck. Is this the mystery kit? https://www.facebook.com/Round2Models

I beleive the Lenni Pond car was reissued by the Model King a few years ago. Same car but a different decal scheme. So, what is the big announcement supposed to be? Maybe someone here in know can give us some hints?

Definetly do this. I did the same thing to match a medium green for some paint to paint my vehicle. I brought my model car to an automotive paint supply store, They used a camera to get a shot of the color. They uploaded the image into their color matching system. In my case, the match was a little off.

Correct, Thanks for pointing that out. Forgot about that.

Here are pics of the Cutlass Streaker parts from the Cutlass kits recently released. Yes, the whale tail circled in red is in the hardtop Cutlass kit. Notice the super charger front pulleys; circled in red. They look like the traction bar wheels that are on the AWB Streaker kit. That's in the convertible kit along with the bulge hood and the convertible tonneau top. Those are the only Streaker parts in the kits. Just need the AWB body, chassis and the rest of the drag parts. Definetely can be done if Round 2 has this kit in their archives.

The announcement is a kit which can not be built stock. Round 2 did announce the 68 GTO will be a new release, However, it's not the mystery kit.

Nothing yet. Hopefully very soon. Maybe someone can give us a hint. Even a pic of a part of the subject.

About 2 months ago I contacted him on FB. He is doing fine. I miss reading his comments here. Hopefully, he comes back soon.

When will Round 2 reveal the surprise?

I wouldn't waste money on that. That will not get the paint fumes out of the room you will be painting in. Just use a simple dryer duct pull fumes outside through an open window or open door.

67 Galaxie, 67 and 68 Grand Prix and Bonneville, 71 Dodge Demon, 74-75 Firebird

Now that vintage drag racing models are hot now; seeing what Atlantis and Moebius has put out, I bet Round 2 will be more inclined to release more in this series that we haven't seen in years.

So, these two were the ones hard to get back in the day? What about the rest of them; were they good sellers as well?

Thanks for the clarrification. Was this a series of drag cars that AMT did or them just randomely releasing each kit over the years. When was the last year of the original releases? Would love to see Round 2 re-release the rest of them.

Didn't know there were 14. Looks like all have been reissued except for these: The Corvette, Time Machine Chevelle, the Streaker F-85 Cutlass and Unreal Edsel.

When AMT did the series in 67, where these the only cars in the series or were there others: The Unreal Edsel, Mustang GT, The Time Machine AWB 65 Chevelle,, The Streaker AWB 64 F-85 Cutlass, Mad Mackeral Barracuda, AWB 64 Falcon, AWB 67 Cyclone, Chevy Nova Twister and AWB 63 Tempest. Were there anymore or just these? I know a few of these were reissued. Just wanted to know more on the history of this series. Thanks.

Anyone know when Round 2 is going to announce the mystery kit. Maybe they can show a part to give us a hint?
