skittles Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) I thought I saw at their booth, at NNL east, a 1/25 Mustang II funny car kit and a snake rear engine top fuel dragster kit . Anyone have any idea when these kits will be released? Thanks Edited April 23, 2016 by skittles Quote
blubaja Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 There were people there for a reason. Why didn't you just ask them? They were very nice, and pleased to answer any questions anyone had. Quote
unclescott58 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Are they releasing a 1970 Grand Prix in the near future. Anybody know anything about this? Quote
Daddyfink Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 I take it you did not ask for such information when you saw all this at the NNL East? You where there, you could've asked. Quote
keyser Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Maybe he saw it in a photo here. So he asked. Here. Why didn't you think of that? You could've asked OP. I just looked at Tower Hobby and no mention of either. After August, I'd guess, that was last date offered. Quote
iBorg Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 I like that photo...... my wife will hate it. The Bison has Arias Hemis.......great part source. The Flying Wedge, I've got the Kenny Goodell decals for (maybe). Baked off the Ivo AMT mold, it may be the best rear engine dragster chassis. The Prudhomme Yellow Feather will be interesting to see if there's any changes to the Garlits mold. The Trojan Horse is a reissue that originally had mediocre decals to go with an overall so-so kit, but its the only Mustang II FC in plastic. With two of those bodies you can actually create a good body. I showed how to modify the body here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/61064-blue-max-mustang-ii-now-a-wip/#comment-733283 Maybe one day I'll find my started build and find primer. Quote

Rob Hall Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Again, anybody know anything about an MPC '70 Grand Prix?I haven't heard anything about a 70 Grand Prix, seems pretty unlikely, considering that tooling was modified into the '71 then the '72, then the Super Fly custom then the Sweathog Dream Machine...

stavanzer Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Well, I'm in for the Cheverra and the Squad Rod at least. Quote
Daddyfink Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Glad to see the Datsun pick up! Sad to see it is a Monster Truck! I hate to say it,but, I am going to have to buy everyone of those kits! Quote
AC Norton Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 ....glad other guys are excited about these releases,,,in my case, its money that will be spent on other kits instead...nothing for me in that pile...the Ace... Quote
JTalmage Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) I don't really build funny cars/top fuel cars but I like the Mustang II. I'll probably get the Datsun truck for fun, and even the disco-era NovaThe Chevarra Z28 is neat, but it's a snap tite kit and I'm not really interested in those.

gtx6970 Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Might get one of the trojan horse mustangs...otherwise nuttin in there for me Quote
Dave Van Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 PLEASE R2 do a stock Pacer wagon....that custom is still cheap today.... Quote
Casey Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 PLEASE R2 do a stock Pacer wagon....that custom is still cheap today.... I thought all the AMT mid-'70s cars went full custom at the end of their runs?: Quote
Dave Van Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 The Gremlin had to be restored......the Pacer wagon just had add-ons.....not mold alters.....so just put the stock parts back....PLEEZ! Or include both!Same thing with the Matador......stock and custom would be OK... Quote

Or include both!Same thing with the Matador......stock and custom would be OK...Yes, the stock parts (even if just the '77 and back Pacer nose) would be most welcome. I'm sure we'll see all the above again, eventually. Quote
stavanzer Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 I want that Custom Matador back!!The heck with the stock one. They never looked that good anyway. It would make a nice 2'n'1 kit. I wonder if you could squeeze out enough parts from the Bobby Allison Matador race car to make a 3'n'1 Kit. Quote

I wonder if you could squeeze out enough parts from the Bobby Allison Matador race car to make a 3'n'1 Kit. I resemble that remark!!!!! My 1974 Matador coupe!!!!!! YES...a 3 in 1 would be possible as all three kits shared the same tooling....the last NASCAR issue of the Matador had stock grille etc,,,,,,so not much work, Stock Matador is an acquired tatse.....but I like being different!!!

The mock-ups looked really good.I'm very happy to see them doing a new tool of a fairly current car that has a high appeal factor to all age groups. There will also be a snap-together for younger kids out in the summer sometime, if I understood right.Charlie Larkin Quote
stavanzer Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Uncle Scott: to partially answer your question, the 1970 Pontiac Bonneville is coming back, but I've seen no mention of a Grand Prix. It would be very nice to have the Superfly/Sweathogs kit back. Wonder how the tools for that kit look like?Dave Van. I have to say that the Pic of your Matador makes me think I was wrong. Bring on the Stock, Custom, Racer 3'n'1 Kit. I'll need to build at least two. Quote
