Um, no. It's well documented that all the cars were real '70 and '71 convertibles to start off with. But maybe it's this one ?

Smoke Wagon Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The car from The Car? It was a relatable character IMO. I’d be evil too if somebody slathered 5 cans of Bondo on my back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The Celica Supra is nice, I've got the Tamiya kit but this one will have an engine without a ton if extra work. I also wonder which sleeper is in the 359 kit? It would be cool if they found the old mail in sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) 7 hours ago, Justin Porter said: I'd trust Aoshima or Ebbro with it as well. Revell is another possibility as their recent run of European classics (with the exception of the E-Type FHC roof) have been quite nice. Tamiya or Ebbro would be the front runners though. Imagining a DB5 done to the standard of those Citroen DS's is modeling bliss. Ahh yes, Ebbro, but absolutely , the DS kits are fantastic , Aoshima?, I suppose they could pull it off.

mikemodeler Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 As soon as I buy a MPC Supra kit off of eBay they go and announce it being reissued! Should have known better, same thing happened last year when I bought the old 78 Ford Bronco Wild Hoss kit. Anybody have other kits they want reissued, let me know and I will buy it off of eBay to help the cause. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I'm sorry, I missed the memo on the AMT new tool movie car. Can anybody update me on the details? What clues have they announced? I want to play the guessing game too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you could buy both, that would double my chances. 😂 Since your credit card is open, how about 66-69 Pontiac Bonnevilles?

stavanzer Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 MikeModeler, can you buy a couple of the Superfly or Sweathog's Dream Machine Gran Prix kits? That would fulfill my re-popped kit desires, nicely! Thanks! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke Wagon Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I hope the California Hauler sells well enough. Round2 is sort of pinned between buyers wanting a better bang for their buck and shipping and material costs soaring through the roof.

While we’ve got the ball rolling, would you mind grabbing an AMT Chevy 454SS pickup kit from eBay as well? I can send you one of my kidneys to help cover the eBayflation cost.

tim boyd Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 2 hours ago, GMP440 said: Please reissue the MPC 68 Coronet R/T. My sense is that Round 2 is very well aware of the modeling communities' interest in doing a new tool clone of the original MPC '68 Coronet R/T. Whether that will eventually translate into a new kit or not, I do not know. TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
