Glad it’ll be affordable again, that kit is a prime subject for a convertible conversion. The detail is very fine on the 76 Caprice it’s very hard to detail, more then likely the molds..

stavanzer Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Well, I can see that the Wild Hoss Bronco will sell like wildfire, and Caprice will sell out quickly. I have the "Lee Eliminators" version that was last released, and I will be very curious to see what decals they add to it this time. I hope that the Round2 "Expanded Decal Sheet" hits on most of these kits, Especially the '64 Merc and the Wild Hoss Bronco. If it takes a Coke Tie in to get the Dodge D-50 kit back in production, "Bring It On!". I believe that having the Ramchargers Dragster & Transport truck together will be the first time these kits have been in one box since the 1960's. I am truly surprised that the 2005 Escalade did NOT get the Coke Treatment. If ever there was a kit that seems a natural fit to the Coke Tie In, it would seem the Escalade would be it. My favorite announcement from this list is the '64 Merc Marauder. One of my favorite kits. Maybe Round2 can include some decal referencing the Parnelli Jones "Pike's Peak Hillclimb"winning Marauder's from 1963-64. Anyhow, a great 3'n'1 kit from the first "Golden Age" of 1960's kitmaking. (P.S. Round2, You will need to include a pair of the GY 'Suburbanite' snow tires for the Pike's Peak Racer, to simulate the truck tires that PJ ran on the car.)

If they don’t backdate it, there’s other options for building a ‘75. The only difference (that I know of) between a ‘75 and a ‘76 is that ‘75s have round headlights and ‘76s got rectangular lamps. MPC did do a run of ‘75’s with round headlamps: ... and I’m sure there are resin ‘75 grilles out there. If not then it wouldn’t be too difficult to modify the grille and headlights. I think it would be worth it to have a model of the last full-size Chevy convertible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, that's the only difference between the '75 and '76 Caprice kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it does, thank you for putting them side by side like that. I was hoping the kit’s front end was just a single interchangeable piece. You were correct, the whole front fascia is different. Thanks for going out of your way to teach me about this, I was originally thinking ‘76 was a carryover year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
