November 2025 Round 2 Product Spotlight

[Tim W. SoCal]

 

[Daddyfink]

Now to see how long my LHS will take to get this stuff. 

[Stef]

What an amazing haul this month; thank you, Round 2!

I want almost everything, including 4 Nomads: factory stock, pro touring, gasser, and drift wagon.

 So the Barracuda and Nomad are curbside but very nice …   Good video for November!

[John M.]

A modeler can take the Nomad in any direction. I'd take one and give it a great patina with a great set of wheels, tires and keep the chrome looking good.

Now let's see if Round 2 will convert there AMT '71 Duster 340 to a '70 Duster 340!

[Radretireddad]

The ‘72 Duster is a must have for many of us including yours truly, but since it’s underpinned by the recent Demon kit, it’s going to require the same chassis corrections to look right.

 

[Radretireddad]

I think the final version of the real Malco gasser’s front end differs from the kit.

Personally, I'd rather see a '70 Duster 340 based upon the new tooling Demon & '72 Duster. 

The c.1998 AMT '71 Duster has many great points to it... but, some warts as well ; to wit :

- Moluded-on , virtually shapeless wipers 

- Roof's too "round" 

- Requires some filing / sanding on the doors / rear quarter glass area underneath the DLO , inside of the body, in order to get the door cards to seat properly

- Too much of a P.I.T.A. to rework / modify tooling from that era ( witness the troubles encountered in modifying the 70 1/2 Camaro to the full-bumper facia ).

Bottom line : we need a '70 Duster 340 ! Likewise, a '70 Swinger 340 .

I’m thinking a surf wagon would be pretty cool  , also a full custom , and a drag car tow wagon, an ambulance kit bash with the caddy kit , and perhaps a funereal flower car . So make that at least 9 momads

Wowsers, an amazing.month with that 60 Nomad topping my list.

Yes yes yes, Michael! I recently finished off my 63 Nova as a "baby" surf shark, and the 60 would certainly make for a stunning surf wagon.

Also, Hotwheels made some sort of gasser/puller/smash-up-derby kinda wagon that I'd also like to do!

So we're at least 10 Nomads... what other styles can you guys think of?

Round 2 really hit it outta the park with this one. The possibilities are endless!

How about a movie car? '60 Brookwood from Superargo and the Faceless Giants:

[Reegs]

I can't tell. Does the 'Cuda have a radiator?

Yeah, I'm digging this. Can't wait for the kit.

JMO but never in a long while has a model car kit generated such a buzz as the AMT 1960 Chevy Nomad has.

Yes. And the body as well. Scott from Speed City Resin did a huge kit bash build on his and it's far more superior than the kit. A different body was used but it's gonna take a ton of work to get it correct. I've included a link to check it out. https://speedcityresin.com/ModelGallery2.html

Ron Ramsay also built a replica of the Malco Gasser with his usual thoroughness in taking a kit and modifying it and scratch building to look more like the real thing.

The buzz is also pretty loud for the B-model Mack. It kinda reminds me of the buzz that the AMT/ERTL 1966 Nova created in the early 90’s after what seemed like a incredibly  long dry spell by AMT for something new.
