I wonder if this kit will be compatible with the older mid 2000s Chrysler 300 kit? I can see some interesting kit bash possibilities!

Just a thought. Why not a Hellcat version of their Challenger?

Any 2015- up Challenger??? 

Chances are hurt a bit with Round 2’s Challenger being a curbside. Still- I wonder why no 2015-up Challengers have ever been done as a regular model kit. These cars proved to be very popular in 1:1 (much more so than the classic first gen- there, I said it!) and there are a TON of model/hood/wheel/trim variations that could be done. 

Maybe now that Stellantis has permanently stopped production, we will finally get some more Challenger kits? 🤔

That is odd that no one has tooled up the last style Challenger..so many potential variations..R/T, Scat Pack, Hellcat, Demon, Red Eye, etc.  I have resin 2015+ interior conversions for the AMT curbside and also resin Hellcat conversions w/ hoods, fender flares, etc but would be nice to have one in styrene.

Going slightly off topic here, but there are definitely several modern subjects that would be popular in kit form, yet don't exist.

  Interesting question you have.   Maybe Round 2 sees that there is not much of  difference in body features to do a 2015 + Challenger kit.  Kind of like the AMT 67 Fairlane kit whereby Round 2 does not see any real significant differences between the 66 and 67 Fairlanes to do the 67.   Just my guess.

Always been more of a fan of the '67 than of the '66 Fairlane, certainly in top level trim. Blame Otis Chandler. 😉

Ford F150, Dodge Ram, I could go on but you get the drift.  A late model Accord and Civic.  Any Lexus.  Porsche Cayenne and maybe a Macan.  And, trying not to get political, any model Tesla.  Except that mobile dumpster the Cybertruck.

ESPECIALLY the Cybertruck.

FTFY.

Been lookin' for one of these bad boys to do THIS to it.

Found a 1/24-1/25-ish remote control toy which is not too bad for a start, but its panel lines are way too thick for my liking.

Might even scratchbuild one outta sheet styrene. Take like 5 minutes.
