pharoah Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 I saw this on The Bay,but it's the old kit. Is this the one that's being reissued? If it is,it probably won't have those custom wheels. Probably the same old 5 spokes.. Nice art...
espo Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 The box art on the side looks very much like the box top on the new reissue. If you don't like the 5 spokes and want wheels that look like those on the box art I'll trade you with what ever I have that is close. I just prefer the old Americans. 1
pharoah Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 Oh,there's nothing really wrong with the mag wheels ,I just wanted something different. Chrome wheels,slot mags ,whatever.The original had spinner hubcaps which I liked.

If it is,it probably won't have those custom wheels. Probably the same old 5 spokes.. Nice art... Actually, according to Collectormodel.com, the Reactor Wheels shown on the old box cover are being recreated. The kit will also come with red glass, both skinny and wide cheater slicks, a set of wide whitewall tires, and a set of Goodyear Polyglas GTs. http://www.collectormodel.com/category/round2-models/#sthash.71pbjl4L.dpbs I'll need a few of these for my stash!

pharoah Posted September 29, 2016 Author Posted September 29, 2016 They retooled the custom wheels you liked for the new re released kitIt's not that I'm that crazy about those wheels,it's just that they came with that issue. It sounds like there's going to be a lot of other cool stuff in the kit,too. Red tinted glass,2 sers of slicks,and wide whites.
stavanzer Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 If I'm counting correctly, there will be 12 tires in this box.Four Wide Whites, Four GT Radials, 2 Narrow Pie Crust Slicks, and 2 Wider Slicks.That's Worth the price of admission by itself.
Casey Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Were these Firestone (cheater?) slicks included in other kits previously?
Mark Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 The cheaters are in the Mod Rod/'29 Ford roadster kit, but with black sidewalls. The Surf Woody has them too, but with double white stripes as the 1:1 car's tires had.

Mark Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 The '49 is a decent kit, and for more possibilities the optional parts from the '50 convertible fit it also.

I have never owned either of them, Mark, so by all means fill us in here on the possible combo's or idea's using both....may have to get one of each,,,anyhow, thank you in advance.....the Ace....
stavanzer Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 The '50 Vert has a much nicer set of optional custom taillight setups.. The Hopped up Flattie from the '50 will drop right into the '49 as well. I have both kits, and have to say that cross kitting will yield some great builds.

AC Norton Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 When is this kit to be released?? they say very late this year....also, the USA1 Vega is put back until early 2017.............the Ace....
Jon Cole Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I so WANT this kit!I don't buy too many kits these day... so many past purchases still waiting for their turn.I might even have a '49 Ford, but not with the cool hides like this one!Did the boat from China land at the wrong island?I need it!
Casey Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I looked one over earlier today at HobbyTown USA, so they are out there and available for purchase.
pharoah Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 I looked one over earlier today at HobbyTown USA, so they are out there and available for purchase.Hey Casey, I went to Hobby Town USA's site and couldn't find it. No AMT kits at all actually. Maybe they're working on the site. I tried some other places and all they had was the older kit with the black car on the box. Nothing on Ebay yet either.

Rob Hall Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Model Roundup and Tower Hobbies list it as in stock also.
pharoah Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 Am I missing something here? I looked again on Ebay,and the only one with the 49'er boxart ,like the one on the first post ,is a junkyard kit for $34.95 that's been there for weeks. I see several ones with the 'Street Rods' boxart,but isn't that the old issue from years ago?
