It was delayed. It happens. *NM*

I can understand if the tooling is missing/not usable, but why announce it in the first place? Did someone at Round2 make a mistake? *NM*

70 pictures and news on the new Round 2 product reveals at today's Detroit Area Auto Modeler's Show..... *LINK*
Thanks! *NM*
Where’s the ‘80’s Pro Street Camaro? *NM*
I noticed that, too. Wondering if it isn't coming out now. *NM*

Tim, thanks for all the pictures! I have some questions…
Marc, inside your post you asked about the roadster on trailer. Probably just a build displayed on the table. Looks like it may have been sourced from AMT T219 c.1968. Those parts were in that kit. *NM*
That trailer is hitched to the '60 Ford F-100. Probably the trailer which comes with that kit. *NM*
Those 32 Roadster parts (except the Revell add-ons) originated in the 1964-65 2232 issue. *PIC*
Thanks Dave. I was aware of the releases you mentioned. I referenced the "Bonnie & Clyde" release because I happen to have one. For those unfamiliar your photo with earlier boxart is quite informative.
Excellent news *NM*
Ha! The first picture up is the Olds AWB coming back out; I'm in the middle of building one of my mint originals as I type! PIC
I noticed the red 32 Ford Altered in the last picture. Has Round2 recovered or retooled the missing parts, including the tonneau cover from the second issue? *NM*
This one (I also noticed the vintage Firestone slicks - it would be nice to see some newly tooled smaller vintage competition/hot rod front tires for AMT's pre-war car models) *NM* *PIC*
Regarding the red '32 on the trailer....Steve's friend Cory Baas (I beleive I am remembering that correctly) brought some of his built Round 2 models to place on the table. I think the '32 was just intended to serve as a display prop for the pickup/trailer duo. *NM*
That makes sense... Upon closer inspection I see that those aren't the original Chrysler Fire Power valve covers but a set of Ardun heads - presumably from Revell's 1950 Ford F1 pickup...
Chris...you nailed it on the engine. Looks like a correct Ardun conversion (fan belt, distributor location) as well as the heads, and well done, too! *NM* *PIC*
A few more kits to add to the want list. R2 is getting more of my money every month! lol *NM*
Yeah, I'm going to claim Round2 as a dependent on my taxes I'm getting so much of their stuff!
lol *NM*
LOL!! *NM*
Thanks for posting this, Tim, there’s some good stuff there! Thought there might be some announcements at this show (re: my comment in a previous thread). Comments/questions in the post below.
While I'm not a big fan of the channel, the HPI guy recently posted a build video on the Charger Police car.
Thanks. I sometimes check out the videos to see what's in the box as well, but don't always remember to do so. Thanks for the reminder! *NM*
I think he does a great job of showing you what's in the kit and what the build could look like. He also gets right to the point, unlike a lot of you tubers who just drone on for 3 minutes talking about nothing. *NM*
Thanks for posting, exciting time to be in the hobby. *NM*
Thanks Tim!! *NM*
Great job as always, Tim! Missed you but was in Puerto Rico at the time, a tough choice but nevertheless I persisted *NM*
