Not new kits but I'll be real happy to get a couple more of each.

Looks like the Chevy's gonna have some cool graphics options,,

And the Vantom's on the list too. Pic is of the one in my stash, wonder if the new reissue will have more graphics options too ??

I like having van kits, but I wish they reissue the standard wheel base kits vs the short wheel base kits

Short WAS the standard wheelbase. :lol: ;)

The Dodge kit was long wheelbase, though. I hope if they reissue that one they put the old MPC grille back in it, not that late '70's/early '80's generic mis-match from the Rescue 911 reissue.

The AMT Chevy vans were all long wheel base and thier Fords were all short.

I've been hoping they would get around to reissuing one of the Ford van kits.

And don't forget they're also doing the Barnabas Vampire Van...

OK, I know it isn't really a van :D

So Revell is reissuing their van, and AMT does the same with their's? I cannot help having the impression they are following this forum. Oh, and they spy on each other.

It wasn't me! I didn't do it! I didn't ask! You did!
Actually quite a few of the old ESCI kits have just been reissued by Italeri as we speak. Among others the long not seen 40 Series Land Cruiser. But all of them are festooned with weaponry and in a military themed series. Now since the war was so nice and unfortunately didn't last long enough, and the Transit doesn't lend itself to be issued as a military vehicle, I would think the chances to see it again are slim to say the least.

A pity. I can think of three guys just on this board with cash waiting to buy a caseload of them (one of them being me). :D

I don't know about a caseload, but I certainly can handle about six.

Make this four. And this time around I'd indeed buy a casepack. Have you seen the absurd prices they command lately?

I believe that one already did. I know the Dakota was reissued a year or two ago when Lindberg came back (again)..
