Greg Myers Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Hey, That's my photo!! Talk to MikeM over on another board that's where I got It.
mrknowetall Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Ummm. I can say without hesitation that Round 2 does not have that kit in their plans.
Greg Myers Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 ...............by the way, Gregory....have you heard that this kit is ACTUALLY being re released......love to hear the buzz on this...the ace... Well, that's what i was getting at. Just hear say at this point. Run it up the flag pole and see if any one salutes.
Snake45 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I think at today's rates, asking price for that combo would be on the far side of $50. Airplane guys are now used to dropping that on a kit, but I'm not sure that most car guys are...even though this is the equivalent of three (or at least two and a half) kits. Would I buy it? Prolly not. I have two of the Model King Falcons, at least two (maybe three) of the Blueprinter Service Trailers, and one of the repopped '64 Fords, so I already "have" this whole set, more or less. But if I didn't have them (particularly the Falcon), I'd prolly save my nickels and dimes for it....
vintagercr Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 That would be cool if the did release it!
southpier Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I was Christmas shopping at hobby lobby today and could have sworn that was on the shelf. all models were marked 75% off, so I think it was only $4.99 with the weekly coupon.

Snake45 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Back in the late '80s or early '90s, AMT did at least one "Diamond in the Rough" multi-set which included the '53 Ford pickup, Service Trailer, and a '39 or '40 Ford Tudor with some damaged body panels. I don't remember why I bought one of these unless it was mainly for the trailer, as I have ZERO interest in a Tudor, especially a damaged one, but there it sits in my stash. Were there any other multi-kits in the "Diamond in the Rough" series?

Greg Myers Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) But we're talkin' Drag Teams here Untill we got hooked up with the old thread. Edited December 23, 2014 by Greg Myers
Phirewriter Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 It would be nice to see the Nova wagon kits out again, however..... Just as the Chevelle has be changed into the Modified Stocker, the Nova wagon was cut up into the Bossanova drag car that was reissued by the model king a number of years ago. It's to bad some of these combo kits can't be re-issued, those are some of my favorite releases from the 60's, both in subject and box art.
ToyLvr Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) The Chevelle Drag Kit is my "Holy Grail" kit. The only one I've ever seen was going for $300 on evilbay. Sure wish Round 2 would issue it. Edited December 23, 2014 by ToyLvr
Phirewriter Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) As stated in my above post, the Chevelle has been permanently changed in to the Modified Stocker. Unless Round2 would see a high demand for this kit and deem it profitable to tool up a new body, glass, etc... (highly doubtful) We will probably never see the Chevelle released as anything other than the Modified. Edited December 23, 2014 by Phirewriter
Fabrux Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Round 2 restored the Gremlin back to stock form, so never say never!
tooltas Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 they could do a new one with the 40 willy coupe and the 55chevy truck or use the 53 ford truck and small flat bed trailer that they had with the clear topper
Ron Hamilton Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Hmmm. I have this... , which is a clean unpainted built-up, that I am going to combine with the Replicas and Miniatures "Chevy 6", as the car had no engine. Or else, I can do the one I built several years ago, Which is a F&F resin piece, in which I installed a 327 V8/4-speed combo with Halibrands and Blue Streaks from the Revell 32 Highboy. I have a trailer, as well as a '65 Nova "Rat Packer" kit I could team it up with, or I could team it up with a "Boss Nova" wagon. Thanks Greg for posting this.

Greg Myers Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I'd bet there's more out there we've missed.
Daddyfink Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Now that MPC and AMT tooling are under the same roof
keyser Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Both the Daytona Transport and Ramchargers rail were MPC tools. Great kits, both. They have both tools, never thought I'd see Transporter re-issued. I've got originals, builders, and re-issues of both. Be great to see this boxing.
tim boyd Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I always thought this one was cool. Me too! TIM
