Another month off for my wallet! Nice!

Only the Shelby Charger is being released this month. Maybe they're holding back until December?

Tentatively December, along w/ the '70 Mustang Mach Won, '60 and '63 Ford trucks according to Model Roundup.  I have some preordered, figure they will show up when they show up...

The '71 Dodge Demon kits are in production right now and should be shipping next week.  Chad will probably show it in his next video along with the others Rob just mentioned.

model wise nothing but the 1/18 Vega looks super cool !

My credit card is safe this month.

Judging by the box bottom art, looks like this reissue includes a few rally parts tooled up for the last version, released back in 1986-87. Big and little pairs of round fog lights, and what appears to be a roll cage. Thank you Round 2 for bringing these classics back again!

Where’s the early ‘80’s ProStreet Camaro Z28?  I thought that was supposed to be coming out later this year or early next year?

I wonder what color the Charger is molded in?

The box says in white.

The original MPC Shelby Charger kit 1-0824 with the Blue car on the box was molded in Blue.  MPC987 will be molded in white.

Only one car kit but this does have two variations for color graphics. I really wish they would do a standard Charger Turismo/Duster Turismo. The headlight area would need to be retooled to a quad set up as well as the hood shape. I would think that could be done without ruining more issues of the Shelby.

Another yawn fest for me. The 1/18 Vega is kind of interesting.

I'm pretty excited about the Shelby Charger. Those came out when I was in high school. Fun to ride in, and even more fun to drive! I wonder how hard it would be to make a Rampage pickup out of one of those Charger kits?

A Rampage might not be too hard, the wheelbase didn't change from the first generation so you could use the AMT Brat for the chassis. The engine isn't correct but should be close.

Hmmmm... A friend had a Shelby turbo Rampage, back in high school. Black with silver stripes & a 5-spd!

After some more digging the Rampage wasn't on the same platform as the Brat. I was wondering why the kits didn't seem to fit together all that well. The Rampage was it's own deal. It looks like you'd need another body to add a half inch in front of and 3/4 or so behind  the rear wheel well.

Also consider that the BRAT engine and the Rampage configurations are not close at all.

Well alrighty then! I appreciate your research into this. Another project added to the "To Do" list (Lol).

A guy in my area has/had one.  I shot a few pictures of it ten years ago!  The elderly man who owned it might be dead now for all I know.

[ncbuckeye67]

That's exactly like the one my friend had!

[Sledsel]

MPC had a Ford EXP also, maybe that will reappear!!!
