NIce job. Will you be casting this in resin?

Hello, Just got a confirmation from Round 2 about the 72 Chevy wedge kit. The kit will have a 72 truck and wedge. Hi George, Yes, complete kit. The ’72 Chevy Pickup can be built with either the racing wedge body or a factory stock fleetside body.

Wouldn't that be something if one of the subjects announced to be released was in fact a 68 Coronet R/T kit.

Love this response. I think its the only response on this topic that makes sense and speaks the truth.

Can you show a pic of what you got?

No loss here. There are much better paints out there than Testors Model Master.

I agree. The body looks good. Can you tell us the steps that it took for you to make the body modifications to get the quarter panels looking correct?

Was Ron Merkel the owner of The Merkel Model Car Company back in the 90's? I remember I used to see their ad in the issues of Scale Auto back then.

Does anyone know if the 72 Chevy Racers Wedge kit will be the kit that will have the pick up truck and the wedge like it used to be back in the 70's. Seem so to be some confusion on this. Thanks.

I hope it's the whole truck and wedge kit all together. Is there someone on the board that has a contact with someone at Round 2 to ask what will be in the kit?

Thank you for posting this. Would love to do a Dodge Fever build. Only thing we need now are the 1968 Coronet kits to do the project.

Would love to do one of these. A number of years ago someone did a resin body of the Dodge Fever. Anyone know the company that did it? Wish Round 2 could do a re-release of the MPC 68 Coronet R/T. This would be a good project.

Looks like an 89 or 90 Toyota Corolla. My sister had one of those. She had an 89 Corolla SR-5. Nice car . Ran well.

With the announcement of the 63 Chevy II wagon; you think we will see the Indy Drag Combo come out later on?

This info is from the Stevens International site.

You hit the nail on the head. As long as we support Round 2 , Round 2 will support us by digging into their vaults and release kits that we have been requesting for years.

I agree. When these kits come out , we all need to buy them and support Round 2 . When Round 2 sees this they will be more inclined to dig deep into their vaults and do more releases that have not been out in decades.

I beleive that Round 2 is just going to use the current 72 Chevy pickup kit and Wedge kit for the Racer Wedge kit since both are already available . Does that sound right?

I plan on building the Supernatural Impala as a police car. I know the hardop body is not correct for a police car, but despite that anyone planning to do the Impala as a police car?

Just throwing this out there. Is this a good way to offset tooling costs in order for the model companies to come up with new model car subjects or resurrect old ones not seen in 50 years? For example,subjects such as the Olds Cutlass Streaker, 68-69 Coronet R/T, 72 Grand Prix, 71 Dodge Demon , etc could be released with the Coca Cola theme with decals. It's an opportunity to broaden the horizon by doing this.

That would be something if Round 2 did do a 68-70 Satellite or Coronet wagon. Lot of good possibilities with this. 68 Coronet wagon towing a trailer with the 68 Coronet Feverbee on it. Can do a police or fire chief wagon, stock wagon. Lot's of building variations can be done with it. No 68 b-body cars came with the 440 6-pack. Six-pack cars came out in late 69. Those were the M code cars.

Hobby Lobby already has it. That's good.

Wow awesome job. I'm planning to my Super Nat kit as a police car. I think we will see a lot of builders doing theirs as stock, police, etc. I bet a only a handful will be done as the Supernatural Impala..
