The Cordoba was cool, but the Charger, Coronet, and so called "Fury: (B-Body) I thought were appalling. I did think the Volare/Aspen were pretty good given the Fed's increasing involvement in the car business, but kept my E58 RR instead. When I graduated college in 1978 I interviewed with Chrysler, but they stopped hiring just after my interview. Meanwhile, took a flyer at Ford (didn't expect much) and just a few weeks later I was working there. That lasted for 35.5 years. The 1979 Fox Mustang (5.0) and 1983 T-Bird were the first two Fords I really, really liked. After that is was Ford all the way... Thanks for the comments on my Duster and for clarifying on the Magnums. And FWIW, if I had bought a Volare or Aspen, it would have had the Magnums....TB Thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Just now, drodg said: Thanks Tim Btw I had a 1975 Roadrunner about ten years ago. It was a survivor with 30,000 miles. 360 2bbl. Nice driving car but not very good looking for sure and not fast! I bought it because it was cheap and when do you see them? The 73 and 74 Roadrunners were so much better looking.

I saw and heard that last night too. Glad I did the preorder for the Demon. Looking forward to this one. He also mentioned that the Demon kits shipped out yesterday or shipping out today to the distributers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I can't wait. Looks to be one of their better kits. Glad to see they're learning what buyers want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I can see me now painting those hood strips ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Nice looking kit. I thinking I am going to do a non scoop hood. I don't mind a gloss side stripe but that hood stripe looks weird to me. Not sure why they would do that. Another thought as I type this I might have a decal set from a supplier years ago that has the flat black hood stripe. Cannot remember who made stripes for Demons and Dusters maybe 10 years ago or more. Anyhow pretty excited about that Demon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a bit bigger but if that's the only nit to pick on the kit I'd say we're golden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 So I looked in my box of decals last night and I have the Fred Cady decals plus The Last Detail Demon Duster decals so I will use some combo on this kit. I wanted to let everyone know who wants a set of the Fred Cady decals there was one set on Ebay last night or yesterday. That decal provides the flat hood stripes and the flat stripes.

As far as I've seen it hasn't actually arrived in-stock anywhere yet to be sold out. The most recent Round2 kits anyone has got in since the 1st of the year are the Omni-based Shelby Charger and the old IMC Dodge L700 w/Race Trailer.

GMP440 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The distributers haven't received Demon and Ford truck kits yet. That's why we haven't seen them yet. Shipping holdup due to the holidays. I hope Round 2 is looking into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model Roundup has more detail in the footnotes also: 12-27-23 Update: We understand the kits may have landed at Round2's West Coast Receiving and Distribution hub in Seattle. The kits have to clear customs and then ship to Distributors. The Distributors then ship to us and we ship to you. We estimate we should have these to ship in mid-late January.

Yes, sir. I'd neglected to mention the footnotes - I skipped to the projected availability date. Thanks for sharing the additional info.
