What's Coming in 2016?

[Casey]

Let's hear your predictions (not your wants, wishes, and hopes) for which kits you think will be released in 2016, and by which companies.

My guesses:

Round2:

AMT '34 Ford Pickup

AMT '39/'40 Ford Sedan

AMT '59 El Camino

AMT '71 Duster 340

AMT '55 Chevy Bel Air Sedan

AMT '50 Ford

AMT '64 Mercury Comet

AMT Haulaway Trailer

AMT Caterpillar Bulldozer

MPC "Wild Hoss" Ford Bronco

MPC "Mudslinger" Jeep Commando

Lindberg "Lawman" '64 Plymouth

 

Revell/Monogram:

1/25 '83/4 Hurst/Olds Cutlass

1/16 Flatbed Trailer

1/24 Poison Pinto

Deal's Wheels Stink Ray

1/24 '69 Pontiac GTO

1/25 Olds Cutlass Pro Stock

1/25 Chevy S-10 Pickup

1/24 Dodge Ramcharger

 

[Brett Barrow]

Moebius' 1965 Plymouth A990 Super Stock Sedan is pretty much a definite.   But maybe an AWB is a possibility too?  

Glue kit of the current Mustang, either pre-paint or full-detail.  

2015 Corvette Z06.  

My longshot would be something in 1/12th scale, maybe a current Mustang or Corvette.  

 

AMT '34 Ford Pickup

AMT '39/'40 Ford Sedan

Now that Round2 bought Lindberg the 34 Ford P/U tooling is back in the AMT stable.  They're definitely going to do something with it. 

And Stevens Int did an exclusive run of the 39/40 Tudor a few years back, so we know that tooling is good.  Hope both of these get the full parts restoration treatment.

In light of the things we've seen Revell bring back recently, I'm going to go out on a limb and say, either a Little T, or a Little Deuce.

  Return of the Little Deuce would be welcome.

I figured that was a fairly safe beet since the '40 coupe and sedan delivery have both been reissued in Original Art series boxes semi-recently, too.

My longshot would be something in 1/12th scale, maybe a current Mustang or Corvette.  

I was thinking the Monogram 1/12 '67 427 Vette kit, but probably not until 2017 at the earliest?

[Harry P.]

Casey, that's a pretty long and very specific, detailed list of what you think is coming.

Based on what? Or do you have some sort of super ESP skill?

I would say based on the fact that they're mostly a bunch of re-pops......which is what we usually see.

I would sure hope we'll see some "new" stuff.

Not just the same old stuff repackaged.

I hope we'll see some subjects that haven't been done over & over again, new tools or not.

I'm not sure my heart will take another Camaro kit!

Ditto,

Anymore only something fresh / new will open my wallet .

A bold prediction>>>

Revell 31 Model A coupe  2n 1..(based on the "new" 29.)

Based on what?

Just guesses taking everything into account. Anyone who knows for sure couldn't say, so the rest of us plebs are left to guess. 

We've seen other AMT/MPC kits which Model King had a hand in recently reissued by Round2, so I don't think it's a stretch to suspect a few more will follow. The '39/'40 Ford Sedan, MPC Jeep Commando, and '64 Comet all fall under that category, so I guess we'll see if any of them happen. Round2 has released the '40 Ford Coupe and Sedan Deliveries, too, and it's been a few years since the Sedan was last out.

It seems Revell is putting a little more time and money into some of it's Tom Daniel reissues, doing some backdating instead of simply straight reissuing some of his kits, so why not the Poison Pinto? It wasn't massively modified when was reissued as the Pinto Street Rod, and it was last out in 1995 or so as part of the SSP, so it might be a candidate.

Revell 31 Model A coupe  2n 1..(based on the "new" 29.)

I got the feeling from Brett's comments (and from the late-ish 2015 release date of the '29 Roadster) the Model A coupe won't arrive for at least a year, but we'll find put eventually.

I meant something all-new, but yeah a reissue of that would be nice. They could Foose it like the Camaro.

Especially bold seeing that we've already seen pictures of test shots.

 I was holding out hope for a Little T restoration, then they reissued the Street Rod version. Now I'm not so optimistic. 

[mikemodeler]

I see some kits on that list Casey that I would buy, hope you are fairly accurate.

I would add that Revell could likely give us another version of a first generation Camaro based on their recent issue. Maybe a '68?

I would expect a 67 Pace Car (hidden headlight convertible) given their penchant for pace cars.  Totally forgot about that one or I would have put it on my list.

goofed said 68

[Danno]

The '68 Pace Car was a Torino convertible.  First Generation Camaros were Pace Cars in 1967 and 1969.

[martinfan5]

Aoshima is gonna be getting a lot of money from me in2016,  few kits I cant talk about yet, but we should see the Rocket Bunny V2  in 2016, along with the two new Lambo kits.

Yep. I knew that, had just googled it to make sure. Still made a typo/brain fart.  

[High octane]

The Moebius '65 Comet should be out in the first quarter.

[GaryR]

I'm hoping we'll get the Mercury factory drag cars out of this one!

[slantasaurus]

New:

2015 Challenger Hellcat

70-72 Cutlass/442

2015 Mustang GT / GT350 full detail

50 Studebaker

Reissue:

AMT 29 Ford Roadster

MPC 71 Road Runner

AMT or MPC Pinto

MPC 74 Charger

[slusher]

I would like to see amt reissue the 50 ford convertible and some pintos 72-76 and some early vegas....

[High octane]

I'm hoping we'll get the Mercury factory drag cars out of this one!

That would be GREAT!

[Art Anderson]

Not gonna comment.

 

[Dave Van]

Let's  just say.....continue to buy......and you will be blown away by what is planned......good times in the hobby for sure!!

[av405]

Wasn't an administrator mentioning a few months back how Round 2 would be re-issuing the AMT 1984 GMC Pickup?
