1/20 scale kits do not sell......(not counting Tamiya F1 kits which are in their own world)

I'd not be surprised if it was canceled of deferred for a long while.

Retooled into the Ironside kit....maybe it could sell....but that's a lot of $$$$ to return it.....unless

all the tooling is in the mold blocked off.

But, They modified the body from a full window van to cargo/panel side before this issue.

So, Even IF all the Ironside parts are there, it would take a Lot to restore the body to Window van configuration

I have built 2 of these. a 72 (or so) annual (molded in white & black)

and the Ironside (molded white & blue)

I would Lov e to see the Ironside kit or a Stock Annual re-issued, But Doubt it do to the modifications done.

I am surprised to see the Stock grill in the pictures, as at least 2 of the last issues had a Custom Only

grill option.

were they in different section of the molds??

Yes....called inserts. Easy to swap for some parts.

I'd be happy with a cargo / panel body if the stock and 2X4 parts are restored / unblocked :) .

Sent Round 2 a note about the van and this is what i got back:

Jesse, it's still on! We had to work out some tooling issues. Should be available in December.
