unclescott58 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I"ll get at least one of those Mustangs, and would buy at least one 1/32 Corvette, too--two if it's a coupe and I'll make a roadster out of the other one. They'd look great on a 1/32 model airplane shelf, or maybe next to my 1/32 tanks. The only other thing of any interest to me on that list is the VW Gasser. I want to chop the back of the body off and make a pickup out of it. AMT's 1/32 1963 Corvette was a split-window coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'll add the '32 and '40 Fords to that list (2018 and 2019 release?). It'd be cool if they made early-'60s style box art for the '53 Ford (and even better if they tooled up a bunch of vintage custom parts!). Yea, Round 2 needs to reissue AMT's 1933 and 1949 Ford coupes too. I'd buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Someone here was hoping not too long ago for this one to be reissued:AMT 1043 - 1980 Datsun 280ZX Turbo - Late March Edited November 10, 2016 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would also be nice to see if the molds exist, and are in good shape, is the MPC Toyota 2000 GT convertible as that hasn't been seen in a long time, plus they could brand it as an 007 product (the car was in YOLT) to increase sales potential.Also wouldn't hurt to repop the F&F Supras while they're at it, branded as Bomex and Veilside kits respectively if they cannot get the F&F licence (hey, they're rereleasing stuff they put out almost 10yrs ago, so whats so wrong about releasing Supras without the F&F branding?

Mooneyzs Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Does Anyone Have a clue when Round 2 is going to release the 1/8th Scale Mini Bike by chance?? I happened to check out their site earlier today and it caught my eye but I couldn't find any info when it was going to be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ford Capri MkII would be nice, the Rabbit you mention less so, due to the recent all new tool by Revell Germany. IMHO they should sell those old compact with some brand new wheels and tires, as extra parts, to make them more exiting for the restomod crowd, but that's just my humble opinion.

stavanzer Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 RickRoller, as you probably already know, Revell is bringing back the RX-7 as a 2'n'1 kit. I'm on board for at least two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The repoped Datsun monster truck is MPC, which makes me hope the Celica and a few others aren't too far down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is at least as nice as their Honda Trail 70 kit. I was very pleased with how that one turned out. I'm glad to see these two mini bike kits back. I never own either one back in the day (kit or the real thing). But, always wanted to. The neighbors across the street had a full-size ("real") Trail 70, and another a few doors down had a full-size Rupp Roadster. Got to ride the Rupp a few times. I always liked it. And thought it was pretty cool looking with that squared off fuel tank on the early version, which the neighbors had and the kit portrays.

gasman Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I would much rather see the mpc Camaro then the AMT version, I believe the AMT version was last reissued as a Michaels exclusive, the MPC version was last seen as an annual in 1992 in an AMT box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 more likely they will do it as #10 Colonel Bob with a fake flag. ...But , then again , perhaps Dandy's relatives ( wife , son Robert , daughter Danette , etc. ) would give their blessing to have this kit reissued in its original Dick Landy livery .

gtx6970 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Well, the General Lee was the Stock Car version originally. Maybe it will be this... Now that the MPC body has the stock rear window opening in it. To me this would be a no brainer. But thats just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats just my opinion Be nice if Round2 would include the "reimagined" 1970 Super Bee / 1968 Road Runner ( et al. ) chassis , etc. , to replace the outdated cachu parts of the Charger ......and , add some period-correct custom wheels , too ( Cragar S/S would be correct for a Landy car ) .
