57peppershaker Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hopefully the dually snap kits will also be reissued. The stocker with a big size dually wheel option would be very welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasman Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 The lightning kit is nice, but it needs to be corrected. The side trim needs to be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember buying them for $5.00 at Big Lots, they go for silly money now, so yeah, R2 will no doubt be bringing them back soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I'll be getting a few of the Toyota, I've got a couple projects in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 AMT 1123 - 1/25 NYPD Chevy Police Van I'm guessing this version, with new decals?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av405 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I’m excited to see what extra goodies come with the van. I’m hoping it comes with that rear step bumper. I hope they get the NYPD decals of the era right. The kit could prove to be popular just for the sheet if it’s accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, hopefully they found the insert for the Police Van-specific parts, shown on the below instruction sheet: Two blue transparent beacon style lenses will probably be included, too, for this version.

Jim B Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Isn't this similar to the Rescue Van that was released last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Well, the litter, fire extinguisher, and rear compartment seat already exist in the Rescue Van kit. If the police specific parts are on a separate sprue, it may be fiarly easy for Round2 to include them. As for the decals, I suspect that they will be the original artwork, cleaned up, and with added options. That has been the way almost all of the "New, Expanded" Round2 Decals sheets are handled. None of the police parts are shown as being chrome, so they may be easy to add to the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

av405 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Does anybody know what police options came with the original police van? Just what’s shown in Casey’s attachments? I really like the shotgun/rifle rack for the dash. That’s a piece that is always neglected in every police kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe more/some overlap between the various build versions here?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The Police Van sounds interesting. The one I’d really like to see is the Open Road camper, but that would require new body tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMFG yes, I would like to see Camper version reissues too, but as you pointed out, I doubt they will spend the money on doing a new tooling for the body.

Wonder if they'll include the parts from the Fire Chief version, that's one of the FIRST first models I ever built as a kid. As you point, not a super fabulous kit, but it'll look good sitting next to the Datsun and the various Hasegawa Sunnys. Speaking of Japanese mini-trucks, we can't be too far away from reissues of the Ford (Mazda) Courier, and Dodge (Mitsubishi) Ram 50 at this point...

Rob Hall Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I remember seeing this kit as a kid, never had one. Looking forward to getting one, and it's the only stock Hilux of that era available that I know of (Aoshima has a custom lowrider one).
