Bennyg Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 That’s good for the people who missed out on the reissue over 15 years ago. I really would like to see their 1/32 range make a comeback. Also something completely new would be ace. This is great news. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Great kit....but I picked up that last issue at Odd Lots for $15.....so at $72.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbray47 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Had one, but didnt finish it. I dont think I have anywhere to put it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 The Payhauler is a huge kit, not sure about the $72m though. I, too, would like to see the AMT 1/32 trucks come back. They definitely take up less shelf space. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Ugh can Round2 PLEASE skip the "original instructions" part of the retrofest? They have by far the worst instructions running with some of these kits presenting their original 4x6 sized folded instructions. The box art brings all the nostalgia needed, make the instructions at least as legible as they were during the AMT/Ertl era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll grant you the Ertl truck kits had excellent instructions originally, but by a large the kits Round2 has chosen to reissue and reproducing the instructions directly - particularly from the dog days if the late 70's - are terrible in size, quality, and vagueness. There's no other company around that intentionally puts old instructions in old kits that are being reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PettyKW43 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 This is welcome news. Being an ERTL Kit it will have clear instructions for those needing them. I grew up building AMT stuff and never had a problem with their instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original .c 1975 Ertl Co. instruction sheet for this kit - which I gave to Round 2 a few weeks ago as part of this reissue project - is an incredible piece of work. As is the entire kit. So needless to say, I support Rick's statement above 100%. I can't say for sure that's the sheet....errr….. book (and that is really what it is) that Round 2 will use, but I sure hope it is.

Michael.....sadly I understand this one is out of reach. There were so many changes made to do the Eagle II update that I'm told it is unlikely the tool could ever be returned to the original version. Still, never say never, particularly with some of the surprises Round 2 has pulled in recent years. But to be clear I know of no plans to actually do this.....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the Payhauler 350 if anyone wants to get a head start of sorts: https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1221/ertl-8013-international-pay-hauler It looks like the previous RC2 era reissue also included a re-print of the original instruction sheet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
