Round 2

[CDA]

Anybody read or heard if Round 2 is doing anything as far as big trucks this year?

[Madd Trucker]

I would like to see them rerelease the Autocar dump truck

[Mr mopar]

You would think they would do all of them, but I have not heard of anything at this time.

From their Facebook page today:

Looking forward at the production schedule I have some new products and some re-releases. We are producing 3 different models in our test program which means they are being released in a color and in White ('57 Belvedere - Christine, Buick Opel, and '67 Shelby). We have a Star Trek original series SNAP kit, the figure from Alien, the Starcruiser from Forbidden planet, and the Mr. Spock Star Trek model kit in a tin lunch box to name a few. Unfortunately there is nothing new in the large trucks and only a few things in Star Trek at least for the first half of the year.

Yep, saw that, thanks though!

Also on the Omni page, I see the Ford C600 Delivery Truck AMT 804

[Jim B]

The C600 delivery truck? Interesting.

[farmer1]

cool ! ANY re-release of the old truck kits is truly welcome and I have been supporting all of them with my $$ and will continue to do so.

[Mr mopar]

Not to hi-jack the thread but Monogram is doing the 1/16th Kenworth.

[CDA]

Oh, by all means Mr. Mopar, thats awesome!!! They say which one? Either way its good news! According to the Revell page, the Pete is already discontinued!

From what I understand, the 1/16 trucks are a special limited release, so get 'em while they're hot! Well, so to speak.

[Edsel-Dan]

Here are a couple pic's of the Ford LN Race car transporter.

This is an Original Richard Petty Team set with the Dodge Sportsman Kit Car

Petty Enterprises was to sell these for MoPar. Not sure how long they did or if they did

I opened all compartments, hinges are cut from 1/16 inch Copper tube.

I added the steering too.

Paint is Testor's 1208 rattle can. Built Back when New!!

[hpiguy]

Great pics and great work. Thanks for showing it. At least I know what was being talked about now.

The AMT 804 Ford C600 Delivery Truck may be a new kit. From the pictures of the box it looks like a 1953 to 1955 Ford cabover with old style box and Pepsi logos.

Apparently that was a picture of a First Gear diecast used for the box art mockup. The kit will actually be the '70s C600 delivery truck kit..was discussed in another thread a while back.
