1972coronet Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Whilst perusing the Model Roundup site , I perchanced to notice this nifty lookin' Coming Soon item :http://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/amt-r2-1012.htm
Tom Geiger Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Brilliant marketing! Tom Lowe is a TV and Movie memorabilia guy and he understands that it's a much larger market than model cars. So he's put out many kits with licensing ties that can be sold in that arena. And the good part is that most of those are kept mint in the box and sit on the shelf in someone's 3 Stooges collection.
unclescott58 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) We got talking about this kit at last night's MCCM meeting. Several of us were questioning the need for Round 2 to reissue another version of this T. And I agreed. But.... After seeing the box art through the link you posted John, I've changed my mind. It actually looks cool that way it's shown on the box. Now I don't just want one. I need a one! Edited June 9, 2016 by unclescott58
Aaronw Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I don't really care about the stooges aspect, but am glad to see the Model T out again. I wonder if it is the kit with the chopped coupe body, Tall T body or some new combination of bits and pieces.
Daddyfink Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I will probably get one for the show biz connection and my habit of collecting show biz related kits.
niteowl7710 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 According to Round2's literature on this, there are enough parts to build two entire Model Ts in the box.
louie Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm looking forward to this one. Looks pretty cool to me. Thanks. Jeff
Aaronw Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 According to Round2's literature on this, there are enough parts to build two entire Model Ts in the box. That was the case with both of the 1925 Model T kits they issued a few years back. You could build one stock version and one hotrod from these kits which is why I expect this is just one of those two coming round again but with new decals and a cardboard backdrop. There have been a lot of T kits though so it seems possible that they could offer a new configuration of parts. I can use a few more Model Ts so I'll be in for a couple even if it is just a reissue of one of the above kits.
ChrisBcritter Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Easy to assemble? "All right, you numbskulls, gimme some glue!" Edited June 10, 2016 by ChrisBcritter
unclescott58 Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Easy to assemble? "All right, you numbskulls, gimme some glue!" The above is how my models look when I'm finished with them. And I have the same expression as the Stooges when looking at them. ?
louie Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Easy to assemble? "All right, you numbskulls, gimme some glue!" Now that is hilarious in such an awesome way. Thanks for posting this one. That's me at my bench with a kit in front of me! Priceless. Thanks. Jeff

I was told a few months ago that it would be a reissue of this kit with the Stooges packaging.
Junkman Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) That was the case with all three of the 1925 Model T kits they issued a few years back. EFA And I believe the Stooges one is more or less a straight reissue of the Fruit Wagon kit. Edited June 11, 2016 by Junkman
stavanzer Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Well, If it is the Fruitwagon, I'm in for one. If it is the Tall T, I'll hafta pass. I will wait and see which it is before buying.
blubaja Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 And I believe the Stooges one is more or less a straight reissue of the Fruit Wagon kit.Not at all. Different cabs.
