Luc Janssens Posted August 31, 2024 Posted August 31, 2024 Hmm... Is the car under the tarp in the intro a teaser? If so Im thinking a Pontiac from the Collonade generation.
Motor City Posted August 31, 2024 Posted August 31, 2024 (edited) It's probably the '68 Coronet R/T hardtop or a '68-'70 Charger. Edited August 31, 2024 by Motor City

Ragtop Man Posted August 31, 2024 Posted August 31, 2024 I wouldn't read a lot into that tarp reveal, personally. Not reading much into the current release scehdule for September, either. Guessing they may be looking at what can be done in Q4 to conserve cash, looking like some other stuff will be coming by the end of the year/early 2025. Money is safe for more Moby kits for now!

Yeah...I know...just my wacky brain ? 'Bout the automotive kits, well always liked the Daytona, but have two of the Ertl era already. One of those will be the Dee Dee Mcall car to compliment Hunter's Monaco whenever I get to it.

It didn’t look a Collonade, but from what I could see of the shape, it had more of a ‘66-‘67 GM A-body shape to it. Perhaps a cloned stock ‘66 Buick Skylark? That would be nice. 1
Volzfan59 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 I'm excited about the Ford C-600, definitely getting one of those. Also love the Kenworth Aerodyne. Might get one to go with one of my NASCAR trailers.
rattle can man Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 I wonder if the Daytona still has both the '87 and '88 turbo set ups. I have an '88 and an '87 version. The '88 still had the parts from the '87 version. 1
Richard Bartrop Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 I'm interested in that T-bird. It looks like it has the parts to make a '55

iangilly Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 That daytona has great moroso valve covers. 1
Radretireddad Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 (edited) How about a version of the Daytona with a transverse V-8 in the front and the back? Sort of a fantasy group B rally car or Pikes peak monster.? Edited September 1, 2024 by Radretireddad 1
stavanzer Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 I hope Round2 is holding some surprises for the Fall Quarter, as the last few months have been pretty lean on kits, whether I've liked them or not. Again this month A couple of kits that are to me at least not very interesting. The '56 T-Bird follows on the heels of the '57, and the Dodge is great for the '80's nostalgia guys, but I worked on them, and have no desire for one in scale form. (at least right now) The '56 is a much better kit than the '57, but I remember gripes about the engine being poorly done in the kit reviews of the time.(1990's). The Truck guys get better served, as the Aerodyne Cabover is a seriously nice kit. 1
oldcarfan Posted September 3, 2024 Posted September 3, 2024 The Shelby Dodge is the only thing for me from this crop. 1

I think what's under the tarp is a 68-70 Charger. Can tell by how far the rear roof sides extend back to the rear part of the quarter panels. Maybe a re-release of the MPC 68-70 Charger annuals?

oldcarfan Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 They still have the General Lee and Daytona tools, maybe they could reissue the Charger 500? I'd love to build one of those. Maybe haul out the MPC Chevy Monza as well? 1

If the tooling exists (and doesn't fall into the stuff AMT/Ertl had out sourced and no long have access to anymore) it would be the face lifted '94/'95 version. 1

Oh yes, a lot of us keep mentioning the MPC Monza; that makes me happy that I'm not the only one! I do hope it can return. IIRC, the yellow "Pro Street" version was the last one, dated 1984. I butchered it and "Hot Streak" back in the day, heh. The AMT Monza came out a few years ago in a flat box, I believe. I missed that one; was holding out for the MPC version. Let's hope! 4
