regular guy Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Here's the link from Hobbylinc of AMT sort. Look at kits that say 'Out of Stock'.Most of those mean they are coming out soon. http://www.hobbylinc.com/cgi-bin/s8.cgi?cat_s=SC&mfg_s=amt&sort_i=3&p=2 First one I see is a 1/32 1963 Corvette Stingray. That's cool.You can also use it for a slot car body. On this website for the 1/32 Studebaker some yo you complains about the kit! The big picture is how many 1/32 Studebaker Avanti's do you see? Some people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 For approximate release months, I usually check Tower Hobbies. https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVSEARCH=amt https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVSEARCH=mpc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regular guy Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 ' Thanks for the info. ' You're welcome.Looks like there are other ways to check to. I have looked at New Releases on Autoworld and Round 2 occasionally. They hide them in different places.They have one that it real in depth. Photos of every parts tree. ' That's not accurate, though, since the '69 442 came out in March. ' For the B-O-P crowd right now the '65 Grand Prix and the Olds are out. You can grab them as they some along and have the complete set.Forgot that '70 one with custom pickup body. ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Sorry but THE only reliable place to get information on upcoming releases, is the Auto World website under Future Releases/Pre-Orders. Unless it's on that page with an upcoming release date, it doesn't matter what Chad, or Tower, or Hobby Linc have to say. For example the Corvette and the Toyota Pickup we're both added this week with May release dates, not April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Again, I enjoyed Chad's latest video. I especially like the other guy taking the Coke at the end. Sad to say though, there was nothing I am interested in adding to my collection other than maybe the N-scale Coke truck and trailer. I like the '69 442 and the '70 Corvette, but already have earlier versions of each kit. The one I'm waiting for is the AMT 1/32 scale '63 Corvette.

regular guy Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Disabled Modeler I get it .You know about the MPC 70 Pontiac Convertible but you want a hardtop? That MPC kit is a rarity like the 65 Lincoln . Conversion were interesting vehicles.They really went begging in the used market. Nobody wanted them after the original owners got rid of them.

regular guy Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Here's the next one of interest. Looks like an authentic camper shell. Wonder if there are any accessories with it? Looks like second release of a series.First one being the pickup with the soapbox derby car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 No mention of the custom / drag version parts finding their way into this reissue ? Don't get me wrong , I actually like this retro version ; I'm just hoping that the stock wheel covers , etc. , are included ... ...as well as the L79 .

regular guy Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Missed one. 1958 Edsel.Gee not only that but it's a Pacer! My only comment is I never saw an Edsel turned into a go-fast. With mags and hopped up engine.They were just Edsels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regular guy Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Well here. This '57 Chevy is a little more exciting. It's a 3 in 1 kit.Instead of 'race' third version is 'gasser'. That ought to ring somebody's bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Good Lord, these threads are like herding cats. How did we go from April 2018 kits to stuff that was released last Fall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Cat herding is pretty easy. I've been doing it for years. Let them think that they're in charge. Let's face it, James. When it comes to model car kits, there ain't much to talk about except new box art and the same rehashed kits with new decals and tires.

Pete L. Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I for one am impressed that Round 2 is able to present new kits each month. Whether reissues or not the company is active and shows no signs of slowing down. While the kits may not be everyone's cup of tea I will be purchasing some of them here and there and hope the Round 2 keeps up their efforts.
