Monty Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 For some reason I was under the impression this was supposed to be out by now. My apologies if I missed something blatantly obvious regarding this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Round 2’s shipping and release dates have all been delayed and slow so far this year. It will be out eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 My local Belgian distributor/online & brick-and-mortar store says soon on their website. Dunno if their shipment comes directly from China, or via the R2 USA hub/warehouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I have a feeling this one like the Demon and Ford pickups is stuck in distribution hell as far as the US goes.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmak Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 If anyone has one of these, I would love to see pictures of the body, hood and chrome tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman455 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 My local hobby shop had a couple cases today along with all the other new releases. I picked up a Warlock for myself, but that was it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 When I get mine, I was going to do some test fitting with parts from the Revell ‘69 Mach 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a couple complaints that the decals in the new Ford Pickups are stiff and hard to apply. Is this happening with the Mach Won Decals? Or are they just lack luster in content? I'm curious.

Mark Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I asked about the louver because I can't say I have ever seen a built example of the Mach Won that had it. I myself have two previously built originals, neither of those have it. To take it further, I don't recall having seen a built '70 Mach I annual kit with one either. It's similar to the phone booth in the Touch Tone Terror reissue. Tooling for it doesn't exist anymore, it's not exactly the most important thing in the kit, making it not worth retooling for a single issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtop Man Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I'd look at one of the Revell '69 kits if you absolutely had to have the rear window louvers - but they were the SHIXXZZNIT in the day. Resin industry will have to come up with an interior. The AMT '69-70 body is wider than any MPC or previous AMT kit, so we wait. (Stay tuned for further developments.) Chassis and engine bits were carried into the '71-73 AMT Mach 1s and the road racers that followed (sorry if that is repeating.) Bad for them, good for this kit. As an alt, the new(er) tool AMT '67 Mustang GT/Shelby GT350 chassis and engine compartment would work but need to measure. The Revell '68 shelf kit made from Bullitt might be a good chassis engine donor. The comparatively HTF Shelby GT diecast would probably have the same bits if you were opposed to Zamac for your build.

My AMT ‘70 annual has it, but I don’t know if the previous issues of the Mach Won has it. It’s not shown in the box art that I can see.

Mark Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The original Mach Won did have the louver; it's shown on the instruction sheet copy I found on the Drastic Plastic instruction sheet site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
