Fabrux Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Why not the Explorer, too? It's been a minute since that one's been around. The '71-'72 Plymouth should be viable to run. I would love to see the GMT400 Tahoe again but I suspect that AMT/Ertl never owned the moulds for it (just like the pickups, hence the cloning). The Dodge Ram 2500 & 3500 are likely in the same boat. 3

They have at least some of the pickup tooling in the form of the USA-1 monster truck.

I missed it the last time around ! 2.) Could always use more of the 2WD version. 3.) The '72 , right ? I'd like to see that one again, too. Just needs stock build options.

CapSat 6 Posted June 8 Posted June 8 21 hours ago, Mark C. said: I would like this as well, but would rather see them clone a ‘73 or ‘74 annual kit, as the Super Charger was an attempt at changing the Petty NASCAR back into a street car. A lot of the original engraving and detail was lost from the conversion of annual to NASCAR and then back to street car. However, if it’s just a matter of digging out the Super Charger tooling and squirting some styrene through it vs an expensive cloning project that might not happen, then yeah, bring back the Super Charger (IMHO of course). I’m also there for the ‘74 Super Charger. I would wonder if the optional station wagon bits and flat hood from the annual kits would still be in the tool somewhere. It would be great if they opened up all of the gates for this kit and just threw everything in the box. The body as it is has some inaccuracies, but that doesn’t seem to stop Round 2 when it comes to putting out their ‘69 Charger kit, which seems to have even bigger issues than their ‘74. The Super Charger could REALLY benefit from the premium decal and box treatment. If they included multiple stock stripe options and opened all of the gates, I’m sure they would sell a bunch just for decals and parts. 1

1972coronet Posted June 8 Posted June 8 - 1972 Charger Rallye ( much as I dig the '73 / '74 designs and the resultant MPC annuals, the '72 is just a better looking car ) - 1972-1974 Challenger - 1977/78 Monaco 2 door (became the Force 440 in its final iteration, before being retooled as the 4 door sedan) - 1972-1977 Dodge Van (with options to build a Tradesman or a Sportsman ) 1
Justin Porter Posted June 8 Posted June 8 I do have a few kits that would be in Round 2's vault that I'd like to see re-released. #5 - MPC 1971 Roadrunner Superbird One of American racing's biggest "what-if" cars that if combined with current Round 2 decals, box art, and pad-printed tires would likely be a hit. #4 - AMT Watson Roadster An icon of Indianapolis and would make an excellent companion to the (admittedly slow selling) Indy Lotus reissue. #3 - AMT 1972 Corvette Street Machine A good candidate for the current "Kustom Kruisers" series, this kit was another whose Ertl era box art just didn't tell the story of the kit which had a neat back-half chassis with four link rear suspension and a well done LT1 small block. #2 - AMT Stock 1934 Ford 5 window coupe A terminally underrated kit that still represents an excellent rendition of a factory stock pre-war American car. The mind does race with the potential of a 2n1 reissue with period speed parts and wheels for a full TROG vibe, but that's hardly necessary. #1 - AMT NEW TOOL 1957 Chevy Bel Air Under no circumstances should the Trophy Series '57 or the MPC '57 find their way back into the Round 2 catalog so long as this gem exists. 5

I'd like to think the Indy cars of this era would be better sellers if they had decent tires. There's no hiding bad looking tires on a open wheeled car.
tim boyd Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) I have expressed to Round 2 my support for a reissue of both the Don Nicholson and (especially) the Gapp and Roush Pinto Pro Stock kits for at least 10 years now. especially since those two kits are by far (in my judgement) the most accurate of all the MPC pro-stock kits. Round 2 is very aware of the interest in reissuing their Pro Stock kits, and has been so for quite some time, but in this particular case doing so would apparently be far more difficult than it sounds on the surface and is probably not a viable option. As for the factory stock versions of the '73 and '74 Charger, I'd love to see that, however IIRC the 1980s modified reissue did not have an accurate rendition of the 1/1 surface/trim around the wheel openings (perhaps a remnant of the prior Petty Nascar kit?) and would not in my opinion satisfy the expectations of today's modeling community. I don't know the status of that tooling, nor if it would be possible to modify that tooling back to the original factory configuration, but I am guessing (no insider info here. mind you) that there are probably higher priority/much more viable projects on Round 2's current possibilities iist....TB Edited June 9 by tim boyd 2
mikemodeler Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Y'all keep asking for those MPC Chevettes are going to hurt my retirement fund as I have several kits and close to a dozen promotional models. I'm hoping they never bring em back and I can sell my stash off to take my bride on a Hawaiian vacation! 2
Chris V Posted June 9 Posted June 9 I hare to be a buzzkill, but without an authoritative list of Round2’s current tooling inventory available this thread was bound to spiral out of control. Many of the kits requested in this thread are annuals which underwent numerous alterations and thus cannot be reissued without considerable investments in new tooling. Others have previously been confirmed to be either damaged, lost or scrapped, and finally some of the AMC kits were literally rebadged Jo-Han kits which AMT never owned the tooling for. For obvious reasons Round2 isn’t going to disclose a comprehensive list of their current tooling inventory or planned projects - We’ll just have to see what the future brings… 1
