MrObsessive Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Round 2 has released their monthly video of what's upcoming for February. Only a couple kits get my attention (one of them was just reviewed here), although there are a couple 1/18 diecasts that interest me. If you want to jump to where they're talking about the kits...........jump to 4:55 where he gets into what's out.
keyser Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Pretty funny that all kits behind him are RM. Thx Bill.
Exotics_Builder Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Pretty funny that all kits behind him are RM. Thx Bill.Same thing I thought!.
Phirewriter Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Nice to see the 1/32 Mustang since slot cars share hobby bench space.
niteowl7710 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 It's the Auto World Store warehouse, they sell everything - or well everything domestic anyways, the same way "Revell" Tower Hobbies does.
keyser Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 True, but not great subliminal branding showing very popular kits that R2 does not offer while releasing new reissues. One quick case of recent offerings and big sellers for staged video would take what, 5 minutes?Devil and marketing in details. I laughed for a couple minutes about this. Inauspicious response. Closed boxes better than visible product. Always remember the Automaker sponsored shows where the heroes drove their brand, and the bad guys always drove Brand X. Those were hysterical.
niteowl7710 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I wonder how good the Garlits decals will be? Round2 has been using Cartograf for about a year now.
Daddyfink Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 i have yet to see the Prudhomme car at my LHS, hopefully it will show up with the McEwen car. And I hate to nit pic, but, the Garlits car was the first "Successful" Rear Engine Car, not the first Rear Engine Car.
unclescott58 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Nothing to take my money this month. I may get the '60 Ford. But, that's about it. And even that's a maybe.Scott
MyBradKeselowski Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Wished I had that Chevy Titan that was in the background..
charlie8575 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 That Enterprise will be a good seller.I'll probably grab a Starliner. Might go for one of those Camaros.Charlie Larkin
horsepower Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Same thing I thought!. Me too, maybe he should be told that when he's getting paid to advertise for one company that it's not a good idea to stand in front of the competitors product.
RT6PK Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 i have yet to see the Prudhomme car at my LHS, hopefully it will show up with the McEwen car. And I hate to nit pic, but, the Garlits car was the first "Successful" Rear Engine Car, not the first Rear Engine Car. LOL, I caught that too.
Daddyfink Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Wished I had that Chevy Titan that was in the background.. Yes, that would be nice to have
stavanzer Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) So far this year, Round2 has had just one kit I want. the '49 Ford. It is a long awaited reissue, but I see that Round2 dropped one set of tires from it, so that there are no "modern" tires to use on the Custom Wheels. The Stock tires in the kit will work for the re-tooled 'Reactor" wheels, but that is all. No Biggie if you have a stash of kits to grab another set of tires from, but bad for the newbie.This Feb list is lackluster (at least to me) but I await the March list to see what is on it.

ToyLvr Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Starliner for me, too. I need it for parts....
Fabrux Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 He says the 60 Starliner has two complete engines; the 352 and what is the other one?
1972coronet Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 He says the 60 Starliner has two complete engines; the 352 and what is the other one?Two complete FE 352 engines / transmissions , with three induction options ( single 4 barrel, 3 two barrels , and two 4 barrels ... but I could be wrong ) .I still have the c.2008 issue , unbuilt. That FE engine is a nice piece !
tim boyd Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Two complete FE 352 engines / transmissions , with three induction options ( single 4 barrel, 3 two barrels , and two 4 barrels ... but I could be wrong ) .. That FE engine is a nice piece !John....you are correct on all counts.....TIM
charlie8575 Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Two complete FEs? Does one have a Ford-O-Matic?Charlie Larkin
1972coronet Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Two complete FEs? Does one have a Ford-O-Matic?Charlie LarkinUnfortuunately , no . The only gearbox is the 3 speed with overdrive , although I can't account for its accuracy ( Tulio? Any other Blue Oval techies? ... )
Mark Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 One has the three-speed, the other a four-speed. A number of parts are identical but the block/transmission halves are different.
ChrisBcritter Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Which one is the four-speed? (photo or part #s?)
Casey Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Which one is the four-speed? (photo or part #s?)http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/15891-new-amt-60-ford-starliner/?do=findComment&comment=136283
