I once dismantled a 1964 Mercury Comet station-wagon with engine K-code on the data plate; it was a regular 260 2v. I still have its heads.

Ah, if only the old ERTL International 1466, John-Deere 4430 and Massey-Ferguson 1155 1/25 model kit tractors were to be avaiiable again! The John-Deere tractor, along with the John-Deere backhoe were last available around 2001. I believe that the molds for all of them are still the property of ERTL?

Hopefully, it will come with the optional snow-plow.

I recall a few months ago here, there was talks that Moebius was doing 3 other Mercury kits; One should be a Mercury Comet (very probably a 70-77). My personal guess is the other two would be Mercury versions of their Fords pickups; I'd say a 1966 and a 1967. Anybody know more about that?

STRAIGHT reissues? Here's my list: MPC 1981(?) Chevy Chevette MPC 1988 Fiero MPC 1982(?) Chevy Cavalier MPC 1988 Chevy Beretta GT MPC 1978 Pinto (PLEASE!!!) AMT 1971(?) Chevy van with camper top & interior ERTL International F-2575 ERTL International F-2674 ERTL International F-4270 AMT American LaFrance pumper MPC Chevy Monza AMT 1996 Chevy Blazer 4x4 AMT 1995 Ford Ranger

Got any pictures of the thing? The model, I mean.

There is a few recent Hot-Wheels done in that style, Hot-Wheel scale, of course.

when is this NNL? This weekend?

A few kits that, to me, should be ripe for an easy reissue, hopefully this year or soon: MPC 1981 Chevy Chevette MPC 1982 Chevy Cavalier MPC 1974 Dodge Charger MPC 1988 Pontiac Fiero MPC 1932 Chevrolet roadster MPC 1972 Plymouth Roadrunner MPC Chevy Corvette "Mako Shark" (last issued as "Custom Corvette") MPC Chevy Corvette "Vette Van" MPC Pinto Pro-Stock MPC "The Grand Superfly" Pontiac AMT Chevy van "open road camper" AMT AMC Matador "X" custom AMT American LaFrance pumper fire truck ERTL International F-4270 truck ERTL International F-2575 truck ERTL International F-2674 truck

I should have added; in a Canadian catalog. Dunno about the USA catalogs. I also think that its first issue included a battery-powered electric motor to make the engine vibrate and fan turns, and working headlights.

I remember that particular issue of that kit being available in Eaton's Christmas catalog of 1975 (or maybe 1974 or 1976, might have been Sears's)

3 Chevies; I'd dare to say one of them is gonna be a 46-47-48 Chevy convertible, and then 2 new versions of their earlies Novas. 4 Mercurys: I'd again dare to say they are gonna be the 1964 Comet, 1971 Comet, 1965 Mercury pickup and 1967 Mercury pickup 4x4. 6 Fords; I'd say 2 versions of the 1971 Ford Maverick, a 1-ton dump truck, and 3 new versions of 1-ton Ford trucks. There is a very very faint possibility that they are gonna do a 1974ish Mercury Grand-Marquis and 1978 or so Chevy Impala, as seen on the background of their 1968 Mercury pickup box art?

Does anyone have a scanned copy of the plans for MPC 1/12 TNT snowmobile? That kit was issued in the early 1970s. There was an earlier version of that kit; Nordic 371, but there is differences between them. I have an old glue-bomb of that TNT snowmobile that I am trying to restore, and need the specific plans for it. I wonder if there is a chance of that kit being reissued?

Will there be more versions available at a later date? I recall a discussion here(?) a few years ago about a 46-47-48 convertible. Personnaly, I'd want a 2-doors town-sedan. But I'll get the coupe and aerosedan when they becomes available.

There was talks a few years ago of a convertible version of that kit. Any news about that? Personnaly, I'd LOVE to get a 2-doors town-sedan version of that kit. Pinto KING
