With the new technology of 3D printing and Round 2's willingness to redo their tooling , the MPC 68 Coronet could very well come out sooner than we think. Utilizing the Roadrunner/GTX/Superbee chassis with a new 68 Coronet body and interior will complete the kit. I always say, keep contacting Round 2 and let them know that this needs to be released.

What the person was trying to say was that the AMT 59 Imperial kit can be found at Hobby Lobby. The person was referring to the Imperial kit and not the 63 Chevy II wagon kit. That's all that was. I think when people read the statement they thought the person was referring to the upcoming 63 Chevy II. That statement got a few people excited. After reading that I bet some people were going Hobby Lobby to get the 63 Chevy II kit.

The person was referring to the AMT 59 Imperial when they said "it's on the shelf at Hobby Lobby right now." Hope that clears that up.

I contacted Round 2 a few months ago about the 71 Dodge Demon. They stated to me that they will not be releasing it at this time This was back in June..

Anyone know more about the 79 Firebird Delivery? Is this by any chance the Pontiac Firebird Kammback wagon , like the one that I beleive Lindberg did back in the early 90's?

The very last sentence says it all. If it takes Coca Cola branding to get the get the old annuals back out into production, I'm all for it. Yes, Round 2 start doing Coke branding to all your future releases.

Definetly hats off to Round 2. Glad Round 2 is doing this. I beleive we will be seeing more now that Round 2 sees the demand and need to get these old annuals up into production again.

Speaking of the trailer which was included years ago with the Coronet ,Challenger and other kits back in the day; would there be any interest to have the trailer back? MPC simply dropped having the trailer by the 70's. It could be released without much difficulty . But, would it sell better by itself as a stand alone kit or included as part of a model car kit? Over the years I can't recall much demand for the trailer.

I agree with you Casey. Especially on the subject of MPC 68 and 69 Coronet R/T. Definetely on point with this. Considering what Round 2 is doing to bring the 63 Chevy II wagon and 64 Olds Cutlass to production, I beleive we have a very good chance of seeing the MPC Coronets again. As you stated; doing the curbside first and the full on kits later will give more choices for a broader market. These would be good sellers.

That's awsome news. Round 2 is pushing to make it happen. Excellant.

I whole heartedly agree. We will be seeing alot AMT and MPC old annuals up to and including the late 60's being produced because of 3D printing. A very exciting time for the model car builders.

Very true about the price point. However, you proved my point in your last sentence. Model car builders will not pay more money for a kit even if its more accurate.

Very true. Simply put , yes , the model kit companies could add more accuracy if they really wanted to. But , guess what; the price of the kit will go up. That kit that was $24.99 that is reproduced with more accuracy, builders would be paying at least $40 or more for that kit. So, what happens , people will be crying about having to pay more money for the kit. On the other spectrum, the military modelers spend much more money on their kits because of the level of accuracy that those builders demand. That's why there is so much more offered because builders are willing to pay for it.

Totally agree. Already bashing this kit. Accurate vs non accurate proportions, etc. Just like a record; round and round we go.

Round 2 needs to look into doing the MPC 69 Coronet R/T convertible.

BY Casey: Look closer at the images, and don't assume the O.P.'s "back in the day" comment is rooted in fact: To clarify, I didn't assume anything. I've seen this pic before. It was a valid question.

Anyone know if that car is still around?

From my opinion the Revell 68 and 69 Chargers are great kits. The chassis is very good on those as well as the other parts. The Panther Pink Revell 70 Charger R/T in is a good kit but has a lousy chassis. The way the wheels go on, the the front suspension parts are no that good. The way to approach the 70 kit chassis is to utilze the chassis from thr 68 or 69 and use the 70 Charger front end suspension parts.

The early 90's version of the AMT 69 Dodge Daytona kit came with all the parts to do a 69 Charger 500. I bought 2 kits at the time and built both versions. I do not know if the later versions of the 69 Daytona came with the Charger 500 parts. If you can find an early 90's issue of the Daytona kit that will have everything you need to do a Charger 500.

The last line says it all. Now that Round 2 and Atlantis is going in the direction of redoing or creating new tooling for subjects we have not seen in over 50 years, we'll see more old kit dealers liquidating and rethinking a new direction for them.

Wanted to ask where others are getting decal paper from. I've seen decal paper at Hobby Lobby. Don't know how good it is. Also, what about putting a coating of clear enamel or clear laquer to keep the ink from running?

I someone privately doing this issue like Model King does? 500 is a very small amount.
