'70 Grande Posted Tuesday at 10:10 PM Posted Tuesday at 10:10 PM (edited) Bil-e-boy: Just so I understand you correctly, when you said, "...the infamous wedge section is all to evident.", you're referring to the firewall being shorter than it would be on a 1:1 and that shorter firewall is the reason the bottom edge of the body sides kicks-upward from mid-door forward to the firewall edge... (the bottom edge of the doors is incorrectly curved), right? Edited Tuesday at 10:11 PM by '70 Grande

I also hope that the Tudor, makes it into the permanent rotation at Hobby Lobby. One of those kits like the Ford F-350, '69 Camaro, & '63 Vette that seem never to be out of stock at H.L. Lastly, I hope the sales on this '32, encourage Round2 to drag the Coupe/Roadster kits back into production. If Round2 made a “Craftsman” and developed a new tool for coupe and roadster bodies combined with the Tudor and Victoria chassis, they would probably have a winner. I have a 1932 coupe from 1975 that will one day become my right-hand drive JAGO fiberglass 32 and that body has its charm but also certain shortcomings.

With the number of 1932 body styles currently available from Revell I don't think there's a viable business case for a complete redesign of the AMT kit bodies. However, given the interchangeability of parts between the AMT 32 Fords, I've previously proposed that Round2 tools up a small plated parts tree with universal parts, including a proper looking dropped front axle with either "hairpins" or "split wishbones", a dropped headlight bar and a selection of taillights including 1939 Ford and 1950 Pontiac. Considering the number of previous reissues, I imagine it would do quite well as a stand alone parts pack as well... 3

blizzy63 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Anyone know if Round2's AMT1533 will be a straight re-pop of AMT1010 of 2017 with new art?
