I found this in my new CUTTIN' CHEEZLE! magazine. I thought i would share it with you.  It is also available in ghostly glow translucent plastic. Only 300 were made, and they are $19.99 each plus shipping. You can get them from: Round2Models.com. Enjoy, Virgil |

I think it's greater than heck that another vintage kit is brought back! However why such an ugly one? I mean seriously....I am not trying to be rude, but why not a real car instead? I know a lot of people will buy it, but to me it would make more sense to bring out something that 80% of the modelers would want....vs.....the 30% that want that bike? 300 made....300 will sell.....only 300 people want one  |

But i understand your point. But on that site there are a lot of older kits, if you would go check it out, you may be surprised...LOL. Virgil |

I agree,I think Round2 will sell all 300 of those "Translucent Plastic" Royal Rails.(Probably pretty quick too!) Todd  |

ok well at first glance it looks like a crazy 70's bike hehe.... but the on the ShowRods site it does describe it has having "chopper forks"...so I guess it's part bike and part made up dragster?  www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/royal_rail.html |

It is always the same kits, Red Barron, Beer Truck,Lil Coffin. Really, when are they going too reissue killer showrods. Well John at Retro hobbies represents Dave's Show rod rally. He's trying to wake up the Hobby. Imagine this showrod at a Hobby store and a little kid sees it. My bet is he'll choose the show rod over anything else cause it's KOOL. Just my two cents. P.S. wait for the Tijuana Taxi , Dragon Wagon, Depth Charger, Rommel's Rod ......these are been released this year only ...can't wait for next year. Released this year already is the Lil Stoogie , Red Barron, Royal rail, Don V ( aka showrodfreak ) lol |
