Atlantis posted on their instagram feed that they have acquired the Monogram 1/24th Red Baron tooling and will be releasing it in the near future

Thanks Mark for the clarification.

Got mine today. I added pics of the new parts. Looks very nice- 10 total tires including double red-lines and what look to be new hollow Goodyear slicks, 4 sets of wheels including 4 Kelsey-Hayes, 4 Torq Thrust style 5 spokes and the 2 sets from the hardtop kit, clear headlight lenses and chrome buckets, and an extensive decal sheet.

442 has finally arrived

Spotted in central Ohio today. The sticker shock is real. $39.99 for the (new) Revell kits and $32.99-$34.99 for Round2. This is not a 40% off week so nothing came home with me.

Guess I shouldn’t have put this in an AMT thread. Still Round 2 though...

Haven’t seen this one mentioned. From Amazon listed as temporarily out of stock

Here you go!

So...with the forthcoming Supernatural Impala and 007 Mustang kits due soon how about Round2 get to work on the just as iconic Rockford Files Firebird Esprit? I know the resin bits are available to backdate the ‘79 but it seems like this would fit right in with Round2’s TV licensing agenda if they could put it all in one box with some retooling. And don’t forget the 853 OKG license plates on the decal sheet.

Neat!

Thanks for the ideas guys. I realize many of these kits can be found on eBay rather easily and somewhat cheaply- the exceptions being the Fieros, IROC Camaros and Silverado Pickups. That seems to have never stopped Round2 from reissuing certain other kits. Other than the 87ish Mustang GT there’s been nothing reissued from that era. I would think a repop Fiero or IROC Z would sell at least as well as a stock ‘77 Pinto.
