Mr mopar Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 7 minutes ago, Casey said: Could be, but... ...I doubt those particular kits. The Thunder Bug I really doubt, as Atlantis mentioned they finally obtained GM licensing, with no mention of VAG licensing. Not necessarily a deal killer, but I would think the Street Cleaner (Camaro), Super Taxi (Nova), Screamin' Vette are at least possible, since Revell-Monogram reissued the first two in 2000. I suspect Dave is being coy (understandably so) regarding which kits are forthcoming, but I'm betting on the construction series caricature kits-- Screamin' Skipshovel, Mountain Mover, Boss Bulldozer, and Extreme Shovel. I could go for that ....LOL I totally forgot about those one's Thx Casey ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll keep buying their releases (even the ones I don’t really want ??) to try and do my bit to get more showrods! The Unreal Roller and the Honest Engine would both be a real treat!

Locomotive breath Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I've been building for almost 50 years, and I for one love this explosion of both new and vintage kits coming to market. I can get almost any auto subject I want now and I don't remember any other time like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotive breath Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 My God , we may be on the cusp of getting that amt 63 nova wagon back ! I've got 10 of the originals and you know what, I'll buy 10 of the Craftsman versions if they come to market. With all these old molds surfacing , I'm in heaven.

Mike999 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 In Jesse's ad up there, #6708 Ford T Pickup and #6709 Deuce Roadster go WAY back. Both of those are from the old "Forty-Niners" series of 1/32 scale kits released in 1961. According to Scalemates, the last reissue of the T Pickup was in 1975, and the ad looks 1975-ish. I found an original "Forty-Niners" Ford pickup at a flea market, partly built and painted. It's pretty well detailed for a cheap small-scale kit, especially the engine. The only thing I might add is a rear window, the back of the top is solid. And maybe some new wheels/tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Oh PLEASE release those 1/32 drag cars! The Daniel stuff like the construction stuff as well. I built those as a kid and loved em. With modern techniques in weathering/chipping I they could be made to look amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted before...those Monogram 1/32 drag cars are little gems...nicely detailed ( for their scale ) and build up quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also will be releasing another Press Release later in the week related to some classic Monogram Snap Kits originally released in the 1970's! This does say "Snap Kits" and the "Snap Kit Funny Cars" from the 70's are these : As for the other Tom Daniel Snap-Tites they are grouped "four kits per mold" as shown below . The first group is what Tom Daniel always lobbied Revell to reissue with no luck probably because of the four kit issue . Seems Atlantis may be okay with this since they reissued the Roar'N'Peace and Leap Hog which were on a single mold . The Li'l Red Baron and Li'l T'rantula were on individual molds . Also the Construction Snap-Tites are on a single mold and would be right up their alley .

MJStyline Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I recall the Boss Mustang and a few others; quick builds during my childhood and fueled the Imagination. I’m in for a reboot of that experience due to my work schedule... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMP440 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I had the Thunder Bug back in the early 70's. It was actually a nice snap kit. Went together well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mach1 Mustang, Camarom and Duster were all reissued in the early '90s in the LUMINATORS series of Monogram kits, so they should be viable candidates for reissue, but we all know it's the Pinto, Gremlin, and Mustang II kits we desire. ?
