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.

Nuts or not someone bought this 68 Coronet Feverbee kit for over $900. 1969 MPC #706-300 Dodge Feverbee Funny Car Model Kit MIB Complete Canadian Rare See original listing Condition: Used Ended: Nov 09, 2020 , 11:00PM Winning bid: US $935.52 [ 20 bids ] Shipping: $9.99 Expedited Shipping Item location: Conway, Arkansas, United States Seller: bgasaway71i5 (3065 ) | Seller's other items

Both the Challenger and Mustang model never sold. Seller relisted them.

Both are great looking builds. I like the second more because of the regular steel wheels in back.

Very true. There is that purist out there that will pay the bucks for this kit.

I seen this sort of thing happen on and off. I remember the mint in box, sealed MPC 68 Coronet that went and sold for over $1000 on ebay back about 9 months ago. Nothing really different with this original, sealed box Challenger kit. The owner can can put any price on it and someone out there will buy it for that price. It's his kit, he can put any price he wants on it. As time goes on , we will be seeing more of this happening with these virgin , mint in box kits out there.

I agree. People will still complain. Just like the record player. Round and round.

Maybe Dave Burkett, The Model King could confirm this. Does he frequent this board?
