The '71 Demon kit is a pleasure to assemble. Can't wait for the '72 Duster and the first-gen Barracuda. Thanks for the sneak peek!

@ As I recall, it might be a licensing issue. I’m sure those kits would fly off the shelves.

[@Trendsetta68]

And a '68 ! 😇👍🏼

[@daviddykes3026]

Please keep those Craftsman Series kits coming out featuring vintage models. I didn't think I'd EVER see a first-generation Barracuda kitted again! Keep up the great work!

Ooh-do a '61 Impala Station Wagon. I rode in one as a child-my parents had one!

[@davidhinkson8856]

I see some possibilities for the Barracuda and the wagon is a nice addition. Welcome aboard Aaron!

[@laurenciozabala4296]

Welcome to Round 2 Aaron! I hope you can push for the production of the AMT 69 Chevy Impala.

[@royalley6611]

Absolutely. A detailed version not the craftsman plus version

[@michaelseptaric4003]

If you can retool all these kits, retool the 67 Galaxy in both versions

I much prefer the old intro with the Mustang pulling up to the Corporate Office. Oh, well. Progress, I guess.

THAT BARRACUDA IS AMAZING - but dang, does it need to ship with a slant six!

[@thomasboogie734]

Rob the slant 6 from any of the old Lindbergh ' 64 Dodge or Plymouth kits. It's a very detailed version. I'm wondering what chassis will fit the 65 'Cuda, I'm not into promo type chassis...

Nice lineup. Thanks for sharing. 😊 Love the wagon. Need more of the wagons,newer cars 1975 and newer i.e. dodge aspen/Plymouth Volare, chevy impala,buick LeSabre,dodge diplomat Plymouth Fury all 1975 and up. Semi trucks something newer than a 359 Peterbuilt. Welcome aboard Aaron 😀

[@timeout1569]

Really excited about the 1960 Nomad, that is going to be an awesome kit. Can't wait! Still waiting for a complete re-tool of the American LaFrance kits or an announcement regarding a new fire apparatus kit. At one point many years ago AMT was discussing the release of an Ahrens Fox kit but it never materialized. That would be great if they finally moved forward with that.

[@Dnyce261]

I'm all for that, or some new Pierce trucks. Yeah, I know, licensing issues. 😅

[@Bruce-i1j]

A Pierce raised roof top mount would be awesome.

[@buildingwithjojo]

Can’t flipping wait for the wagon make a 66 nova wagon

[@TXGRunner]

The Barracuda kit looks great. I also really like the fact you're adding engine bays to curbsides. The 2009/2010 Challenger kits, of which I've built three, and still have a kit left, would've benefited greatly from an engine bay. I hope, with the new tariffs, you move production out of communist China. While I'd love for you to move production to the US, I realize that might not be economically feasible. A good alternative is Thailand. The Thais are great to work with, technically capable, and very friendly to the US (your business trips will also be much nicer). As a member of ASEAN, you could then distribute kits from Thailand to markets in Korea, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, and Australia for far less.

[@slyrider5271]

Who is not super incredible excited about all three kit's announcement?

[@rickdee67]

HATE premium price kits with molded suspension! These just un assembled promos.

[@davidchristopher9443]

Love the MPC Grumpy 's Toy Vega and Bruce Larson's Vega you need to bring back all the MPC Pro Stock kits.

[@Nitro1320]

Agree! Us drag racing guys have been waiting for someone to bring back the old MPC pro stocks.

[@tommcandries7483]

Nice to see these new kits coming out, but when will someone release kits of the 1973-77 Olds 442, or the 73 Pontiac Grand Am, Laguna S3, 72 Torino Sport, etc.? Like aircraft it seems all the model companies put out basically the same car models. There are so many neat cars out there we have never seen in kit form. Thanks

The Tin car set is awesome and so is the Auto World set. The three models kits are fantastic. The MPC 60’s Pontiac’s would be nice to bring back. 69 Bonneville and 69 Grand Prix for sure!

Yup, the 67- 69 Bonnevilles and 69 Grand Prix!

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Awesome welcome to Erin and round2 you are my favorite model company and I do believe that you still have a model that I built years ago that you still show in your catalog that is the 65 chevelle station wagon as a white drag car that you advertise in the clear display case lol ❤😊

[@73Rallye440]

I enjoy seeing these updates of new products. I would really like to see a re-issue of the 1972 Dodge Charger Rallye and the 1973-74 dodge Charger in 1/25 scale model kit. 1973-74 rallye decals and bulge hood as build options would be great!

Congrats Aaron. Never thought this would happen. Can't wait for the kits that chad talked about

[@Eddie-di6eb6cv8v]

Wahoo! As an owner of an original 72 Duster 340 I’ll be getting a bunch of those. Hopefully they will include the correct 72 decals not the 71 style. And the barracuda will be also be in my collection.

More cool stuff coming out. Welcome aboard Arron.

[@davidyork2775]

Welcome Aaron! If Round 2 is looking for a new kit idea, I'd love to see a 71-74 Javelin SST introduced. Old kits are commanding $150 on Ebay, both stock and racing versions. Waiting for the 60 Chevy Wagon, great to see it back.

[@williamporter7596]

Good to see Aaron Skinner join the team, he will doubtless provide excellent advice. The Trek accessories look good and I look forward to hearing about the UFO franchise model being designed and tooled.

All three of those model kits are exiting!

So true!

Interesting new additions right there, thanks for sharing with us all.

Any chance you guys could make the rare/popular kits that the scalpers on ebay sell for ridiculous prices? That would be the ultimate!

I really think someone needs to produce some model kits of the newer trucks. The most recent model kit of a truck we have is the 2000 Ford F-150 Lightening by Revell. Models of these newer trucks would be great for the hobby, and should sell very well. Please get to work on these, we will be anxiously waiting. Thanks for sharing.

[@gnatsum-uy4fo]

Actually...there have been TWO kits of the F-150 Raptor. The older kit has a better detailed chassis, whereas the newer one has a much less detailed one. Neither kit has an engine.

First gen Barracuda?? Thank you!! As the owner of a '66 Barracuda, I of course would love to see one of THOSE coming down the pike soon. I will be buying multiples of the '65 and the '60 Nomad, which is a pleasant surprise.

[@Reds_Scrapyard]

the '66 parts are in the Hemi Under Glass and the Hemi Hustler I owned a 65 when I was a kid and IIRC the only differences were the taillights and the grille

@5:10 YESSS! We finally get a Bumblbee Camaro!!! Looks so awesome. While it's not the Concept car used in the first film, it's close enough.

[@Jimthechevywheelman]

How bout a ‘ that 70’s show ‘Vista cruiser special edition?

[@TheModelingHermit]

I'm really excited to see the 60 Chevy wagon coming back. In the late '90s to the early 2000s, several model companies were producing full size Chevies for just about every year from 1958 through 1970. The only years that didn't get produced were 68 and 69. Just about every month I place my plug for 68/69 full size Chevies, but I think my suggestions fall on deaf ears. I would think that they would be easy to make, since the chassis and some interior would be the same as the cars that they would be made from, the 68 from the 67 and the 69 from the 70. Interest could be increased by making a 68 Biscayne and a 69 wagon. Whether or not my requests get attention, AMT has always been and will ever more be my favorite manufacturer.

[@rayrussell6258]

I'm happy to see the '72 Duster getting closer. I hope you've designed the lower series V8 grille, so other versions off the tool can be released later. The Barracuda is also a model I want, but may pass now unless a motor is included in the kit. I hope you get back into annual releases, because my real preference is the '66 model year car (but keep the tooling for the '65, instead of modifying it for '66 like was done back in the old times and then losing the flexibility to issue each model year in the future). The Chevy wagon may get my attention later, but again without an engine in the kit I'll probably look for some other kit to buy. My hobby money is limited so I don't want to pay extra to get engines.

[@BigSkyModelWorkshop]

I know it is impossible to do all of them, but there are so many vintage AMT and MPC kits that I never got a chance to build, and would love to see again. Can't wait what's next.
