vamach1 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Round 2 had a box on display at the NNL East show. I do not recall the release date - nothing on the round2 website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Anybody know any details on this one. Is it the old AMT Mach I kit? Can it be built stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Anybody know any details on this one. Is it the old AMT Mach I kit? Can it be built stock? It should be, looks pretty stock on the box art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 It should be, looks pretty stock on the box art. Ah.... So it's not the AMT '73, but the MPC. All the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Of course that side stripe on the box art is not "stock." Let's just say I'm not holding my breath for any improvements in this version. A set of 73 only factory aluminum wheels would be cool but that's not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louie Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Why is there a general mills logo on the box, I thought that they were long gone from the model kit business? Or from Mpc ownership?Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I think that is a photo of the original box art.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Joy Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Looking forward to this.Went ahead and pre-ordered one at the local shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ellis Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 It's worth buying as the AMT can not be built stock. Missing Link sells the stock 1971-72 bumper and grill to back date it to a big block or BOSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Looking forward to this.Went ahead and pre-ordered one at the local shop. ....just noticed this thread now....Jeff, that picture you are seeing on our posting is the original 73 issue kit, when MPC and General Mills had a business arrangement for some years,,,the new issue coming won't have that art on the box.....and Harry,,,when did your LHS say your pre order would be in stock, as I too will order one from mine.....thanks boys,,,,,the Ace....

General Mills bought MPC from George Toteff in 1970 though I believe the 1971 boxes shows nothing. 1972 first GM logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louie Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thanks Guys I appreciate the information on the General mills and Mpc partnership as I knew a little bit but not this much. I never try to stop learning and when it comes to the car kits, I'm all ears for everything. Again Thank you. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 By any chance would this be the tooling that this one was based on? If so... I think I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Norton Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 By any chance would this be the tooling that this one was based on? If so... I think I'll pass. Chuck, the one you are showing box art of is the actual AMT 73 kit, same in most ways to the newer TOPE trans am issue for the most part,,,, while the newest release mentioned is true MPC , I suppose being similar to their 73 annual. I don't yet have one, but recalling kits I have owned back and forth over the years, the MPC version would be my choice of the two. hope this clarifies....the Ace....
