Both Round 2 and Revell tend to announce no more than the kits for the coming quarter.  Atlantis seems to go a bit further out, being a smaller operation.

Hasegawa doing a Miura P400 is HUGE news! An early body Miura without the flared SV fenders and with the headlight eyelashes would be so welcome as a change of pace! 1968-1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 S Guide & History | LamboCARS.com

But they aren't, it's just a reissue of the same P400 SV they've always had. There isn't anything new about it at all, not even the box art is different.

Well, that's a bummer. An early body Miura is way up there alongside an S1 Europa on my "Yes we have one, but we need THIS version" list.

I want Round 2 to  back date the '71 Duster340 to a '70 Duster 340 all they need to do is grill and interior .

Stripes are different, too.

Yes, it should also have a Carter AVS , but the kit's Thermoquad is largely hidden by the air cleaner assembly anyhow.

Anxiously awaiting the '72 Duster 340 kit !

There should also be a small, rectangular VALIANT emblem on each front fender of the '70.

I thought the Valiant emblem was an early model year thing that was gone partway through the 1970 model year production run.

This might be useful, if you can get past the annoying music.

Am I the only person who noticed a stock Maverick at the end of the AMT presentation (at about 01:45) ? I was under the impression we'll expect one from Moebius, not AMT ?! Is that an error of N.Y.S., or breaking news ?

Error is on N.Y.S.

Thanks, Bob. It really got me confused. Do you have any link or comment from them about that?

Them? Moebius or the young man who is N.Y.S? N.Y.S is a talented builder from New York State and has a YT channel, he's not an industry insider. He shared images from the internet, and made a minor mistake sharing the image on a product that isn't ready to show publicly at this time, therefore there's no news but lots of eager anticipation. Eric Solie posts here and is an insider, between he and others involved w/Moebius there will be plenty to see when they decide to make it public, when that time comes everyone known to mankind in this hobby and especially those with vested interests on the various social media platforms will be tripping over themselves to share the news.

Not to pile on the kid, but there were several models attached to the wrong companies, a dash of things already released (ergo not upcoming) and a splash of things in the Japanese kit section that are straight re-stock reissues that are in fact not new nor upcoming since they're just resupply. 

He's a really decent modeler, but his video appears to be a slide show based on the Cyber Modeler list referenced earlier in this thread and those folks wouldn't know their hind ends from a hole in the ground when it comes to accurate information, particularly about import kits.

Cybermodeler has really gotten less reliable as the Publisher, Michael Benolkin has been fighting for his health. He posts updates, but never dates them so it is very hard to know what his exact status is. I wish him well.
