It amazes me that no one has ever made a 1/25 scale kit of a 41 to 53 Buick. So many alternatives with small adjustments. Then you also could make The Y-Job and the LeSabre show cars.
..so start with a 41 Convertible with either two versions, stock and early style custom with chopped and padded Carson top (Google Herb Ogden 1941 Buick) ...and then the 41 Sedanette stock and/or early custom...and/or lowrider.,....please. :)
A 1941 Century Sedanette, any of the wagons, or a 1949-'50 Roadmaster Riviera or Special Sedanette would be very well-received, I suspect.
Maybe some videos to see and meet all the team at round 2 that make it happen. Or how you go about making the toys from scratch and new tooling items like you did last February 😉. And what the process is when choosing what to make?
Be so nice to see the 80-86 f series
1961-71 Dodge pickups & Power Wagons please!
A video with future releases
1969, 70,71 Plymouth Fury's. 440 6BBL GT or S-23. Also convertibles, wagons, cop cars versions etc.
Or a Dodge Polara would be cool
Definitely a 70 or 71 Fury GT. That would cool.
Yes, a video of what your employees make, collect or drive would be cool
some cool stuff for sure the 39 is really nice but have to say would love to see you guys bring back the Javelin too
JoHan is the only one who had molds for the Javelins. AMT borrowed them for some reason. I think in the process, those Javelin molds were modified for the later 71-74 AMX releases. JoHan kept releasing the 1st gen AMX with 2nd generation into the nineties.
It's a GREAT time to be a modeler!!! 👍
Looking forward to the '57 Chrysler 🙂
Are you talking about the Johnny Lighting in gold or model kit? If it's Johnny Lighting special one out of 1000 it's a Chevrolet.
@@amazingcars1324 The model kit
And those flame decals can jazz up some of your truck builds, like a dump truck...
@@goratgo1970 Oh heck yes!!!!!!!!!! I'd like to have a few of those decal sheets.🔥👍🙂🔥
@@THROTTLEPOWER Now that makes sense.
One complaint I've had against the 57 300 ever since it first came out is that the decal sheet has no "300" red white and blue quarter emblems... they're virtually impossible to paint, and it would make the model look SO much better.. a drop of clear over them and you'd be set to jet instead of having them look like they were put on with crayon... I have at least a half dozen copies of that kit in its stock configuration, but that one thing (and some instruments) would make the build of it so much easier!
Print your own. We have the technology.
@@rmxrider20032000 I would, but the photos I printed just a few years back are peeling, I'm not too sure about the durability... and I'm not into buying them when the manufacturer could do it almost as an afterthought...
Try a gel pen. I've used those a couple of times for really tough-to-paint details, and I was quite pleased with the results.They come in a wide variety of colors, including white.
Hey. Groovy.
.said Greg Brady. That might work!!!!
Wow… a 1967 Cougar would be nice.
That would be nice!
Thank you for actually listening to me, I called back in October asking if you can make 2 cars more accessible to people, the 71 dodge charger stock car and the 77 dodge van . We talked about making a 3 car body pack with the 70s stock cars. Chevelle- roadrunner- charger .. I been buying some used 70s stock cars and they are kinda pricey for used slot cars. Dodge magnum - AMC matador coupe - ford thunderbird - mercury stocker all start around $45 . The magnum is hardest to find and most expensive
Please redo the tooling for the mpc 68 Impala convertible & mpc 71 Impala/caprice.
Round2 needs to think of adding more to their existing kits, such as bodies, grills, bumpers from other years that could be combined with existing kits, such as 71-75 Impala/Caprice that could be mated to the existing 76 Caprice, or 68/69 bodies to mate with the existing 67 and 70 kits.
Please more premium 1/64 auto world ford model years. 80-86, 92-97, 2021-now. Thanks for all the hard work you guys and lady's do at round2 for us modelers/collectors.
The f series pickups are what I meant to say. Thanks round2 for being such a nice to people company.
Also in 1/25 scale model kits as well; especially a 1980-86 Ford pickup. Add to that, the 1977-79 Thunderbird as well. In 3 years they sold over a million of them.
Definitely the 80-86 fords.
The '55 was out of stock before the video was over. lol
That surprised us too! We shot the video yesterday and the car blew up today when we sent a morning email blast
Hi Round 2 Jamie can you do a video on future Releases@@Round2foryou
I really hope this company has many years or decades still in front of it. So much joy in it! I love the kits!
Chevrolet 454 SS Pickup lets gooo =)
They should have the tooling. AMT had one in the 1990's.
It was lost I believe by ertl. Round 2 remade the tooling last year & that’s where the latest Silverado kit came from but it didn’t come with an engine just an opening hood. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before they release it as the 454 kit. I’d personally love to see it realesed with the 350 small block.
I'd love a slot car deep-dive!
What about an "archives" style video? Pulling out an artifact from the vault to show us? Old advertising, concept art, moulds?
3,316 views in the first 2 hours is a good sign for the industry and the hobby.
Show us the full production of a model K I t from design to manufacturer
What is the chance of the old AMT and Revell parts pack being brought back? Would love to see the Allison aircraft engine and motorcycles issued in 1/25 th scale!
They repopped the motorcycles a few years back. They didn't last long.
The Revell Parts Packs are owned by Atlantis now.
Thank you for all that you do!!!!!
I love Round 2 products
My grandpa bought a brand new 1939 Ford tudor. It was dark blue. I saw a black and white photo of him with one foot on the running board and other hand on the roof. I saw it over 50 years ago as a teenager.
How many of you skip the intro to the model kits only ?
Yes that’s me!
Me
This guy lol
I would have to say me
I would love a shop tour showing the beginnings of new toolings.
Love that 57 Chrysler 300 kit!!
I am so glad that the front seats, rear-end and exhaust are not molded in on the 57 and 39.
Great Channel look forward each month to the videos
How much would it take to reverse-engineer the '66 Thunderbird tooling, or to do new tooling, so you can sell 1964 and 1965 Thunderbirds, along with the '66 models you currently release from time-to-time?
I think this '39/'40 Ford combined kit is a good idea you could do with other body-styles from past years by auto companies.
The Thunderbirds from '61 to '63 also come to mind.
Nice lineup.
Thanks for sharing guys.😊
So happy to see the 1/1400 enterprise D rerelease. Would really like to see it in 1/1000. Your new sci-fi sets have been amazing.
Very cool models thank you guys again
Chad. I just watched Chris and you on your Round 2 models shop tour. Chris kept repeating to reach out and comment about what we like to see.
Most defiantly a cool place to work and see the behind the scenes. I've been getting back into modeling and right now it's semi-trucks. One truck kit that needs to be retooled and reissued is the Mack 'Rubber Duck" so much of that kit is incorrect to the movie truck you have buy aftermarket parts. Nobody ever did a model of the oblong chemical trailer either. It would be awesome to see that redone.
Something for your consideration, I know I'd grab that up in a heartbeat!
Cheers!
Earl
A deep dive on slot car platforms would be cool, thanks!
Love that 39 Ford kit too!!
So happy to see the Re-release of the 1400 Enterprise-D. Best decision to have it molded in this translucent white plastic! Now those kits will be affordable again, as the original releases and the clear release sell for up to 250 bucks over here in Europe.
Great video spotlight for March! Enterprise D looks amazing!
Maybe an Archive Products video showing past works no longer made. Also hope for the future a large scale NX-01.
Thank you guys for everything that you do!!! I would love to see “a day in the life of Chad “ at work. ✌️😎
A little bit of stuff for the month. Time to catch up. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Chad for another update. Love the ‘39 Ford, haven’t built that since 6th Grade! Love to build that again. 😎
Yes, deep dive the slot cars!
Thanks to all the folks at Round 2 taking the love of models to a whole new level!
Thanks Chad, for the video. Would love to see some Pro-stock racers in 1/25 scale from the late 60’s early 70’s!!
Just bought the '55 Gasser last night! I cant wait to get it
Fantastic release idea for the Super 3 pit kit! Could be fun!
When are you going do more lowriders
I’d love a Dreadnought kit for the Enterprise
Glad to see the "D" is coming back! Looking forward to that one.
I love the street rod kits
I would love to see an early Chevy. The '32 Roadster and Van kits from way back were not quite 1/25th. A '34 coupe or roadster would be great. Never been one. There is nothing between the IMC kits (I think that is the company) and the very hard to find Galaxie '40s chevys. I think they would be very popular.
Another run of the stock '41 Ford wagon would be welcome. Perhaps a variation with another body style, like a fastback or convertible.
I'd like to see an in-depth video about kit design...working with the CAD files and 3-D scans if there any, translating those to part design, how the moulds are laid out, etc.
39 is awesome 👍
What is the design process, CAD, CAM, CNC, etc.
Great job on the mpc 71 dodge demon nice work !!!
That Zinger is sooooo kool ! 😇👍🏼
Please please redo Javlin.
Good choices for both car models.
I've been wanting to buy Slot car set. I remember back in the 80's my friend had some. The car's were really detailed. Especially the muscle car's.
Nice slot cars, I would like to see a video on how a diecast is made, JL or AW
Iam sure the 68 coronet will be nice to love the warlock truck also
Thank you for all you do for our hobby. Awesome time to be a modeler. Please think about re-releasing some of the AMT 1/48 aircraft. I know they made some great civil aviation kits.
Cluster gears for the 4 gear cars would be nice. The 6 packs were perfect
As you might assume from my screen name, I am a Corvair fan. Thanks for the occasional reissues of the 1969 AMT annual Corvair Monza coupe/convertible kit. Would it be possible to reissue one or more of the 1960-64 AMT Corvair annual kits? No "Early model" Corvair models have been available since the 1964 AMT annual Monza Spyder coupe. Better yet would be a full-detail retooling of any of these.
A few other ideas from my Wish List: a 1969 Chevy Impala SS427 Sport Coupe. As far as I know, the Sport Coupe body has never been made in 1:25 scale, just the more formal "Custom" coupe, as is used in the 1970 Impala kit that has been reissued a few times over the years. And I would love to see more station wagons. Being a Chevy fan at heart, my suggestions run along those lines: 1969 Kingswood Estate, 1970 Chevelle (with optional parts to build an SS tribute custom version), 1973 Chevelle Laguna wagon, 1958 Chevy Yeoman 2-door wagon, and an Impala from the 1961-64 range, and one each from the 1971-76 "Clamshell" and 1977-90 "Box" eras. Neither of these two eras of full-size Chevrolet has been represented enough in scale. Speaking of the 1977-style Chevrolet, one last thing: I would bet that you would sell out your production of 1977-79 Caprice coupes within a week, especially if you included OPTIONAL low rider suspension parts.
The '60 was cool. A 4 door mine has long been lost.
Just saw the shop tour video and it was great, you should release the Starsky and Hutch Ford Torino to honor David Soul who passed away recently.
1/1000 SCALE ENTERPRISE-D PLEASE!
Thanks for keeping our hobbies alive and well! Can you make some more realistic stock car wheels for the X-Traction Stock Cars?
I would love to see the 1972 Dodge Charger Rallye, the 1973 and 1974 Dodge Charger re-issued in 1/25 scale. A nice touch on the 1973 and 1974 would be a 2 in 1 kit with the Rallye option included.
Thanks for FINALLY delivering last month on the 1960 Ford F100 & trailer kit as well as the 1963 Ford F100 w/ camper. However, I gotta' say, the March model car kit releases are of the ho-hum variety.....
Not EVERYONE is happy ... I pre-ordered from my local hobby store, and when AMT shipped to distributors, not enough have been sent to them to fill all the pre-orders.
Round2, you need to have the factory make more of these .... and the Dodge Demons I ordered and also didn't get yet.
More kits to add to my want list! Lol
Would love a rerun of the Chevy Blazer LS, Ford Taurus, Chevy Beretta and Ford Probe from the early 90’s 🥹
Would LUV to see some testing on the slot car stuff.
I really love the re release of the grumpys Vega, can we please get the prostock series back? Mopar missel , mo-town missel , dyno don mustang II , dyno don pinto , Gapp Roush cars please !!!! Thanks guys loving the re releases!!!!!!!!!!
Need Mark Donahue AMX Thunderjet to add to the 1970 pony car wars of Trans Am racing
Having a video of the different slot car chassis would be great
A good chunk of AMTs mid 1960s line of cars were butchered to make modified stock cars. I'd like to see the '65 Fairlane, 66 Buick Special, and 65 Olds 88 tooling restored and the original kits offered again. And while you're at it, could you please convert the 66 Hemi Under Glass back to a 3 in 1 Barracuda Formula S? I will buy them all. Probably multiples... And please keep up the great work you are already doing! I loves me the 1960 Ford F100 I just got.
Dibs!!! On the 55' chevy
The “55” is fine!
The Bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek the Motion Picture, the bridge from the Klingon K'Tinga cruiser from Star Trek the motion picture.
I do like the deluxe pit kits but my experience with the Super III was two kits kits in a row with two of the same magnet. Round 2 was very nice about fixing it but good lord...
Would be good to get the Enterprise - D Aztek decal sheets. I have the old 1989 kit that could do with some jazzing up.
Awesome videos. I wish Round 2 would come out with a 1/25 scale version of The Car from the movie The Car. And how about re releasing the 1969 Chevy C10 pickup.
Wow no email notification, didn't realize its been out all day already.
bring back more annuals. Cheers for the 60 & 63 Ford pickups. May I suggest the 60 T-bird, 60 Buick , 61&62 Buick Special wagons they are the same kits as the Chevy 2 wagon and had trailers.
How about a '49
-'59 Studebaker C-cab pickup 1/25 scale model kit???
Now that's a good idea!
Great, even more die cast I can never buy because the 4 Walmarts & 3 Targets shelves are ALWAYS bare. Sales tip: Make sure your products get to your customers so you can make money and stay in business.
I've often wondered if the model companies ever really listen when modelers request something, or just 'consider the source'. Some of the cars that are offered in die-cast would be highly welcome in 1/25 scale plastic. I've really been surprised, that other than original promos, nobody had offered a 54-56 Cadillac in either coupe or convertible. A 49/50 Buick convertible was used in a popular movie, but is not to be found in 1/25 scale plastic. The 57 Olds was and still is a very popular car, but not in 1/25 scale. The 55/56 Mercury is an easy build off of the 56 Ford, as would be a 55 Ford. You're missing out on some very easy 'new' kits, in the form of a 1968 Chevy from the 67 Impala ( a 68 Biscayne with a big block would really be cool), or a 69 Chevy from the 70 Impala. These would be new body molds and simple minor interior alterations that would still allow the chassis and related to be utilized, while still being able to keep the 67 and 70 kits intact. For the 70s, the Chrysler Cordoba was a very popular car, but I've never seen it in 1/25 scale, nor was the Boat tail Buick Riviera.
Will Round2 do anything to improve their 1/64 diecasts? Greenlight is coming back with their incredible under the hood line with working suspension, opening parts, lensed details, multipiece bodies etc.... anything in the works to compete with them?
How about some videos with the backstories of the MCACN cars that you produce in 1/18. Would be cool to know the cars history. 👍
I'd like to see AW semi truck pit kit slot cars come out someday.
Wish would come out with the 63 Chevy pickup with the motorcycle and the Ford falcon and a needled nose Peterbilt 359
Would like a deeper dive into slot cars with demos and side by side comatisons
What is the msrp for tge Enterprise aztec decal set?
Deep dive into Slot Cars. Including what other brick and mortar stores carry besides Hobby Lobby
Would love to see some more Tom Daniel’s kits, like Bad News, Vandal, Beer Wagon, Garbage Truck, Mothers Pies, T’rantula dragster, all of those would be fun. Look how Rommels Rod sold… just sayin’
Those are Monogram kits, not Round2, and all of that stuff is owned by Atlantis now. You need to request it from them, but an unrelated company.
I wish they could sell complete engine kits. That way we don’t have to buy a whole kit just for the engine. Come on guys put these out. I need 340’s 383’s and 440’s.
How about a 72 AMC Matador 4 door copy of the one used in Adam 12 the TV show. I don’t think I ever saw one before an it would make a nice add to your model kits ( please if you do, have metal axels )
I'm still waiting for the 39 Pepsi LaGuna S3 NASCAR to come back
So what ever happened to the universal dome bases? I would like to buy a few medium and large stands.
Why don't they do that with the 60-61 Falcon Ranchero pick-up kit ? 4 in 1 option kit!
