AC Norton Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) ......Just thought I'd pass on some info I just received today regarding some Round2 releases.....the MPC 1975 DATSUN PICKUP is apparently out right now, yet I see none for sale on Ebay currently,,,the AMT 57 CHEVY PEPPER SHAKER and COBRA-TRUCK- TRAILER RACE TEAM set are due out in December to give us a nice Christmas rush, and the 1974 GREMLIN X is hitting the shelves in around 3 weeks. Now, the not so good news concerns the long awaited USA 1 VEGA PRO STOCK......according to the detailed email I got from Doug at Round2 it says that it has been pulled off lists and will be reassigned a new item number once the project gets some wings. Time, developing expenses, and other factors have pushed this project back to an undetermined status for possible release. However, Doug says it is going to fly at some point in the future, and by the sounds of it back tracking out of the MON-ZEGA mess as the Twister Vega was, could mean its well worth the wait if the car gets some corrections and improvements ......lets face it, once released at any point, this car could be built and decaled into more different pro Vegas than can be imagined, ROUND2 themselves could easily release it as a Grumpy Jenkins car, and even their old AMERICAN SPIRIT VEGA to mention a few.....the decal designers could have a field day....that's it, and all the news fit to print...lol............the Ace...

ChrisBcritter Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) AMT PLASTIC MODEL KITS AMT-10921/25 1962 Pontiac Catalina Polyglas Gasser II$31.95TBAThere's another homage to a long-lost kit, if a less memorable one. The Polyglas Gasser was basically a new set of tires and decals tossed into the mostly complete '62 Bonneville hardtop 3 in 1 kit - minus the Styline parts but with the convertible's roll bar added - to give it one last hurrah before they scrapped the molds. I'm guessing the only other change was the wheel backs may have been modified to fit the deeper tires, since the instructions don't seem to show any new wheels:http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/pontiac/1961-1970/amt-the-polyglas-gasser/?view=roll#1Anyone have an original Polyglas Gasser kit to compare the wheels?

Those early Polyglas tires can be swapped back and forth with the Firestone Supremes that came in the annual kits; they're about the same size. The optional wheels in the Polyglas Gasser are chromed rims similar to those in the '63 Galaxie kit. They're different from the Moon discs in the original annual kits (convertible has plain ones; hardtop annual has six trim pieces on each one).

Bob Ellis Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The original Polyglass Gasser was the annual Bonneville. It seems like they will do the same as the Derby El Camino, put an ErtL '62 Pontiac Catalina in a reproduction Polygass Gasser box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
