I agree on the van NOT getting the open window option returned,

they did not give us the open hood it use to have!!!

I had both the 1971-issue Rescue Van and the "New for 73" Surf Van back when - and still have the bodies.  Neither of them had an opening hood.  I was disappointed in that, and cut both hoods out to hinge so that at least the front of the engine could be seen.

IIRC, none of the AMT Chevy Vans had an opening hood.   The FORD vans had - and still have ("Phantom" (ex-Vantom) an opening hood. 

If Round2 DOES indeed bring back the multi-panel body and stock parts, it will be serious kudos due them.

Ohhh, a Lusso.  Or a reissued 275GTB?  Excuse me, I might need a little "alone" time.  Since we're dreaming how about a modern mold 260/289 Cobra with FIA optional parts?

That ALMOST happened.  It was to be Accurate Miniatures' third car kit.  Unfirtunately, licensing costs and low funds put the kibosh on that one.  Ahh, what MIGHT have been!

 

Larry....AMEN brother, AMEN! Best regards...TIM

Tim, good to see you here again.  Happy New Year to you and yours.

See my response to Gerry re: having Ed Sexton put a bug in Volker's ear re the Lusso.  Wanna lend a hand in that?

The Lusso (and a BMW 2002tii) are ideal subjects for RoG, in this writer's not-so-humble opinion!

 

Did I pass judgement on anyone? In which part of my post? It certainly was not my intention to do so, but I sincerely apologize if I did. English is not my mother tongue so I might have not expressed myself adequately or appropriately enough, but telling me that I'm just blowing hot steam, so to speak, is borderline offensive on your behalf. And, if I must justify my opinions to you, I would firstly like to point out that I am not twelve years old and I base ALL of them on personal experience, in this case disappointment with Revell's announcement of certain Ferrari kits that never came out in the end. That said, I will refrain from further participation in this topic, and will do my best to proceed in a strictly matter of fact manner in my communications on this forum

Thank you for your attention and very kind regards from Croatia.

My best friend in this world, the late John Slivoski, once said to me in conversation "its not about the little plastic cars.  Its about the friendships we make along the way BECAUSE of the little plastic cars."

We model car guys are a diverse bunch.  We may not agree on politics, religion, food, drink, you name it, but model cars are the great equalizer for us - on that, we find common ground.

Let's not fight here.  There's room for opinions.  And when the facts contradict, there's nothing more honorable than taking responsibility for the mistake.  That's one way we STAY friends.

Matija, please don't be silent.  Everyone's voice is valuable.

Double that.  I have a resin Lusso that needs a donor kit, but it would be SUPER      to have a plastic Lusso in 1/24

Ed Sexton: if you're reading this (and hopefully you are), pass this along to RoG.  Put a bug in Volker's ear, so to speak.  We need a Lusso.
