As for a fully-cloned (?) kits, I predict the MPC '68-'69 Impala and AMT "67-'68 Galaxie. Let the prediction-game begins! My gut feeling for what's next is the AMT 67 Galaxie. Lots of requests for that one through the years. Maybe some can give us a hint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the slide-in camper was last seen in the 1996 Buyers Choice issue. -Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Metallic Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 2 hours ago, rekcirb13 said: When I started a thread about this last year, I had my doubts that the AMT 1960 Ford F-100 pickup kit would ever be re-released, especially after a 63 year absence! Everything that I read indicated that the molds had been damaged or lost forever. Good job, Round 2! Well what you read doesn't appear to be incorrect. The molds probably were damaged and/or lost. This new release appears to be a clone (with improvements) of the original. Please note the cab is separate from the bed, the improved engine compartment, that the grille and front bumper are now separate from each other, and if Round2 follows precedent, the headlights will probably be separate clear pieces now. Looking forward to further details now that the kat is officially out of the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also did the tail stripes in Black, White and Peacock Blue just for fun. When this run of kits is over, I doubt that you will see those rare colors on the decals again. -Steve Yeah!!!!

Any chance that the DOHC 426 will make its return ? I'd love to see it as an option for the stock Super Bee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Here's a 1970 Super Bee with the V6B over EB7. I can't wait to see the V8B stripe ! You folks are hitting all the right buttons, @SteveG ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownbri Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I think the open road camper Chevy van would be another cloning project that would sell great. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 You're going to have a bunch of very good sellers. I might buy two of those Bees simply so I can build one each in blue and green with the correct stripes. The B5 or B7 blues with the blue stripes was especially attractive. The green I'd probably do in white/green interior, maybe add a white vinyl top. My guess for the NNL-East unveiling....one of the 1958-62 annuals, hopefully with a little bit better chassis and interior.

stavanzer Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I'll play the game. The NNL East announcements will be something we did not see coming at all. One will be something Brand New. (Think 2021 or 2022 Model) The Other might be a clone, but I don't think it will be a promo, really. My thought is that it will be something nobody has really mentioned, possibly from MPC tooling. Maybe a Showrod or something off the beaten path. Anyway, I'll lay my marker down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the Demon being done like the 1970 Coronet....duplicate of the original body, interior updated to platform-type, and adopted to work with the 1968-'69 Road Runner/GTX undercarriage, only using the 1971 Duster for the underpinnings. Might even use the interior seeing they were pretty much identical from what I remember, meaning only a body and chrome tree would be needed, and some decals. The Challenger is a very logical pick, in all honesty, and makes perfect sense. I'll throw one more in to the modern car mix.....a new Ram/Silverado/F-150 kit. People have been asking for a contemporary truck for long enough that it could happen, and Auto World has very nice F-150/Silverado diecasts, so simply scaling up the CAD drawings, and making adjustments to the existing components for size, and pieces like a separate suspension and the like isn't a lot of extra work.
