September 2024 Round 2 New Product Spotlight

[@martinkpierce]

Another great start to a month. Thanks, round 2, Chad, and the camera guy or lady. Sure, praying and hoping to see some 67-72, 80-86, 92-96 f series Ford trucks in autoworld premium in all trims, and configurations, like long boxes, etc, you know. Thanks for your awesome hard work. Hopefully, all of you at round 2 are enjoy getting up every day and going to work. I know I'd love working there. Doing something that puts smiles on people's faces. Thanks, round 2.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

It's a GREAT time to be a modeler!!!!!!! 👍👍Looking forward to the Kenworth Aerodyne Cabover. 🙂

[@OMEGATECH]

Me too!!

[@QMore-fp7wn]

Definitely! I’ve been waiting for that re-release.

[@goratgo1970]

Yeah those original Matchbox/AMT release decals with the dot matrix and thick carrier were terrible. Can do a decent box art build of it now.

[@michaelbrown7661]

I will keep on saying it NEW MODEL YEAR TRUCKS PLEASE !!!!

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Pretty excited about the Holiday Hauler Ford C-600 and the Kenworth Aerodyne! Thanks Round 2

[@jonserkspawn7776]

We want a 1973 Chevelle SS, and El Camino SS

[@jdrake8738]

and a 73 Grand Am and a 71 Riviera

[@petervitti9]

Thank you very much, Round2! On my wishlist is a 1977 chevrolet caprice as a mpc or amt model.

[@davidhinkson8856]

The Star Trek set is a neat idea for any fan of the show. I'm presently working on Revell's K100 Aerodyne cabover, I like the Christmas livery on the Coke truck, and I'm glad to see the Dodge Daytona from the late '80s come back as well.

[@theragingdolphinsmaniac4696]

Ive been waiting for the Kenworth to be released forever. Now get the T600A back on the shelves again.

[@RWSBaden]

Oh man the Kool Kats at Round2 hit it out of the park again for us Big Rig guys. Yes I've been waiting a very loooong time for the re-release of the AMT Kenworth Aerodyne Cabover kit. Check that one off my list, now I need the BJ & the Bear KW Aerodyne kit to complete that collection. Also Yes, very sweet looking Coca-Cola C600 city delivery truck. Two thumbs up for Round 2 for the Month of September. Cheers, Rich S.

[@robjohnson1073]

Ii would love to see you re-release the 2008 Challenger but make it a 2023 Last call HellCat Redeye wide body an let us put the wide body kit on . Everyone wants a Redeye but cant afford one , But could afford a model kit. I appreciate you Round 2 for bringing back all that you have. THANKS GUYS ❤

[@CharlieLarkin75]

That would be a very good seller, I would agree. Or, base it off the new Charger tooling and make it a full-detail kit.

[@robertwastel6404]

How about bringing the model kit at BJ and the bear truck back

[@gearhead762]

Just get the Aerodyne,a trailer and BJ decals. Several decal sets out there for rig and trailer. Some masking,red and white paint... yes in deedy.👍

[@IamGalvatron]

@@gearhead762not to mention AMTs Aerodyne is the least accurate to make a BJ and the Bear truck. Chassis too long, Detroit engine, automatic transmission. Sure simple stuff to remedy.

[@gearhead762]

@@IamGalvatron not alot of kit choices to build from unless i am mistaken. You have a better idea i assume?

[@IamGalvatron]

@@gearhead762 the other company that begins with an “R” has a slightly better and more accurate base to build a BJ and the Bear kit.

[@gearhead762]

@@IamGalvatron yep thats the other choice. I guess it boils down to if you want to see the engine alot or not.

[@jamesrussell9942]

So nice to see my Iacocca era of Chrysler getting some love.

[@goratgo1970]

Yeah, gotta gets me the one with the lumber on the sides!

[@Trendsetta68]

You dudes have hit every nail with these releases!!!!! Awes job once again! That Aerodyne has my name all over it ...... Hey any chance of a new Tanker to pull ... like a Pneumatic Bulk Tanker or an Ammonia Tanker would be awesome ! GOD Bless ! 😇👍🏼

[@samanthaallen5320]

How about a 1975 - 1977 Chrysler Cordoba. Or a 1981 - 1983 Chrysler Imperial! How about "The last of the line" series. For example a 1966 Studebaker, or a 1976 Bricklin.

[@gi_mechanicsscalemodeling]

Looking forward to the Kenworth Aerodyne, Thanks for sharing Chad!👍🏻

[@209Stretch]

You guys make the best box art on model kits!

[@outfield1988]

Holiday Hauller is beautiful

[@deenjoan9938]

Have to say some really cool kits for sure looking forward to getting a few of them,You guy are doing a great job getting us some cool builds to do>Would love to see the Javelin make a come back too 👍

[@Trendsetta68]

I 2nd that... we would love to almost any newly tooled AMC now , especially for me a 1970 SST Javelin !!! 😇👍🏼

[@saltields7649]

You need to bring out a long box version of the GM square body trucks in 1/25, 1/64, and in HO scales. Along with both ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s Dodge trucks, all three scales as well. You should also do a ‘46 to ‘68 Dodge Power Wagon in all three scales as well. I’d like the ‘84/‘85 Dodge Daytona to come back out. Maybe include the nose and headlights from that ‘84/‘85 kit in with the ‘88 kit, so that people could build the car with either nose on it.

[@jamesthompson8008]

THANK YOU ROUND2!!! Grateful to see that Aerodyne again!! And...good call on the Star Trek packaging of those 8 kits!!

[@zeffmoreno3200]

It would he nice if you guys would bring out a 72 Gran Torino,73 Mercury Montego,78 Ford Fairmont.70s Mercury Cyclone.

[@rayrussell6258]

in the same vein, we haven't seen the original bodystyle Mercury Cougar in a while.

[@adammarsden2643]

I agree I very badly want a 72 Torino fastback...67&68 galaxies 500 fastbacks too

[@cliffordunderwood5692]

​@adammarsden2643 61-69 Galaxie 500xl's would be awesome! Definitely the 78-82 Fairmont/Zephyr! I had a 78 Zephyr Z-7 coupe with factory 302, c4 auto for my first car at 15. I drove it till I was 22 and like an idiot, I traded it for a slammed 90 Mazda. I miss it.

[@kaefergarage]

I am a Kind of happy, seeing this Dodge Daytona comming back! Never ever thought about this to hava a chance because the 1990s were kinda strange ;) Had this in my childhood and will get on. So cool.

[@millenniumf1138]

What a great time to be a Star Trek modeler! I'm currently working on a lineup of all ships named Enterprise, and had already built up all of the kits in the 7-ship Enterprise set, as well as a second Refit Enterprise that I labeled the Enterprise-A. The Refit NX-01 will go great with my set! Plus all the other ships in the set will be fantastic additions to the fleet!

[@richardlee1092]

Thanks Chad and Round2 for September Showcase!!! Great models this month. Excited about the Star Trek small scale ship collection. And another version of the Ford C-600 as a Holiday Hauler box truck, Excellent!! Looking good! Thanks 😎

[@angel-ij4xv]

they should stop making 118 scale no one buys it

[@bowslap]

The Detroit Diesel 8V92T designation….the “V” denotes a V-configuration block. 8=number of cylinders V-as in a V-block 92=cubic inches per cylinder Good to see this K100 Aerodyne tractor kit back, built the original issue of this a few years ago.

[@moparnut6286]

We need a 78 dodge magnum!!

[@CarlosChristian-n8t]

Wow !!! It'll be great to see those vehicles in a new "True 1/43" Scale Series line !

[@Giorgiopilares]

we need the BJ Makay version decals for that aerodyne! would be perfect! but coool see that truck finally near to be on our benchs

[@greyclassic6563]

You guy are making things that people want and we all appreciate that

[@b.c.b.7880]

I like the silent box art. You could cut the box top off and frame it to display with the kit.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

That Celica Supra is great and I'm glad the '85 Caravan is getting its due. My parents had one that year in the same color configuration you did with the 84 Voyager with the Tan and brown lower panel. Great work as always, Team Round 2!

[@jonoskowski5545]

Thank you guys for bringing back these awesome kits.

[@joeyc1326]

Huge AutoWorld fan. Own tons of slot cars and sets as well as a respectable amount of die-cast. One thing I really miss is the older crystal plastic case packaging for the slot cars. It was nice to display them and be able to keep them in removable cases. Keep up the great work!

[@dougb3699]

I like unusual and innovated cars. For example, Fiat 128 and Chrysler K Car.

[@nlpnt]

I'm surprised Italeri never did the Fiat 128 back in the day. Most of Round 2's archive is domestic Big 3 promos and apparently Lee never commissioned one of the K car but there's the Daytona and they have a reissue of the Shelby Charger in the pipeline.

[@pr3modeling239]

The Chrysler K car was one of the worst embarrassments of automotive engineering ever created, and by far one of the worst cars ever made. Build quality, engineering and design were all absolutely horrendous. There's a reason you never see any anymore. None of them survived.

[@dougb3699]

@@pr3modeling239 Duly noted. However, it is still an historic item, worthy of identification. ( I had one, and , yeah, it sucked).

[@tomlappin9657]

Thanks Chad...more great kits to be looking out for

[@americanpatriot2422]

Always an outstanding video and presentation

[@timeout1569]

Still waiting for a retool of the American LaFrance kits.

[@CarlosChristian-n8t]

How about creating a brand new Star Trek line of Electronic Starship Models ! ... Now that would be great to see !!! With Sound Effects , Lights, and features !!! Now that'll be great for collectors !!!!

[@steveburkett5679]

Hey Chad, do you think we will ever see the 1/25 Junkyard Dog Mack or the 1/25 Peterbilt TurnPiker ever re-released again?

[@josephcox4319]

Good luck with that, when I lived in Pennsylvania I actually worked for Mack doing frame assembly about the time AMT pissed off Mack with that kit and that was the end of anything Mack except First Gear. If Round2 redid that kit I'm sure they would get there licensing rights taken away too.

[@kregskorner8851]

Yesss the 88 Shelby Z.. Nice box art on this one.. Kenworth looking sweet!

[@gearmeister]

I never thought I'd say that I want a Caravan but that H.O. scale with the wood trim looks brilliant!

[@johnkerr6826]

Love Round 2 and what they are doing for the hobby. But slim pickings this month guys, at least in car models. Look forward to next month.

[@marleys.diecast]

Like the sparkling new ultra red paint 😮🎉

[@ronniefnd]

Excited for the Daytona. The radar detector and car phone will be awesome.

[@outfield1988]

I love the 1968 mercury pick up you guys did. It’s just awesome thank yoy

[@CharlieLarkin75]

That was actually Moebius, not AMT, but yes, their pickups are very well-done.

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Nice lineup Chad. Thanks for sharing guys😊

[@ncbbq1]

The model kit varieties have been great, as well as the details of the 1/64 auto world cars, but PLEASE bring back the Johnny Lightning POP CULTURE series, especially using the MUSCLE CARS...really miss the mid-90's Playing Mantis Pop Culture...for example, the PEZ Halloween Cuda was unbelievable in the detailing.. thanks & keep up the Great Work

[@Round2foryou]

Stay tuned! We have JL Pop Culture coming soon!

[@reign114]

Kind of wish "BJ and the Bear" decals would have been part of the Aerodyne. That's the version I built originally when that kit was first released.

[@garypearsall1589]

We need a 1 18 scale AMC 73 Javelin.

[@gilval808]

I wish they can mold on side mirrors on the Dodge Challenger and mustang Shelby .

[@nlpnt]

I'd love a Parts Pack of side mirrors, wipers and other stuff that not every kit includes and/or the carpet monster likes to snack on.

[@paul_pratt]

That Star Trek kit needed a new dominion jem hadar fighter model. It could have been a nice themed box rather than a bunch of random stuff. A whole line of 1:2500 adversary sets with a new model and and old kit or kits would be really cool and give people an incentive to double dip.

[@dougbyron1918]

Would be cool to se the MPC 1970 GTO. And a Henry J in stock trim. Great job on the video !!

[@seandoherty8754]

Great, yet more car kits and mostly cars 🚗 plus tiny Star Trek ships, nothing to get excited about really.

[@jonnysuperglide]

I wish you guys would bring the 1/8 scale Camaro z28 I ROC Z MODEL KIT I HAD IT YEARS AGO WOULD LOVE TO BUY TWO OR THREE MORE HAVE ONE IN EACH COLOR GOD BLESS JUST A FAN REACHING OUT AS A FAN TO SEE IF DREAMS CAN COME TRUE

[@madwrencher1069]

For models you should rerelease der beetle bus tow truck, elvira macabre mobile , amt junkyard dog. Keep up the awesome work.

[@CharlieLarkin75]

The Caravans/Voyagers need to become 1/25 kits, not just diecasts.

How about some more 3/4 -1ton stock work trucks old and new with service bodies ,plows

Wow, the "miserable old crank" energy in this comment section is off the charts. Looks like some great stuff this month.

[@KOTR-SRGY-BOOST]

Since you guys have so much of the old ERTL 1:18 scale tooling, I wish you'd make the 69 Charger 500. Provided you have that tooling. It would just need your nicer interior, and maybe upgraded tooling for the headlights and grille.

[@kenswonger4738]

I would love to see the re-release of the 125th scale 1959 and 1960 Chevy Impala model kits would you consider re-releasing them I think you guys would stand to make a lot of money I have all the Impalas 58 through 64 with the exception of the 59 and 60 the prices online are ridiculous I wish you guys would consider the release of these kits

[@209Stretch]

Try the revell issues they’re still able to be found on eBay. I got lucky a few years back & found a revell 59 Impala convertible sitting in my local hobby shop. I picked it up so quick & stuck it under my arm🥷🏼

[@doomusrlc]

So the Challenger/Charger/Mustang release... what release number is that? It seems these are the 2023 R3 versions but with some mild differences (Mustangs minus the stripes, Dodges with tan interiors now and the flat black hood and roof swapped to the other color compared to 2023 R3). So like is it 2024 R5?

[@mattbrown2781]

At least they’re not exactly the same…lookin at you Mattel… but the reduction in models per case doesn’t make me want to keep ordering full cases.
