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)
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.

Nope. They're going to be pretty much as the Galaxie Ltd. ones were, with only a few small changes. Mostly on the legal/licensing logos & such.
Too many other things in the works to find time to re-invent the wheel. I've got three more Chevies I'll be announcing shortly (none of them a C-10), four Mercurys, and half a dozen Fords (some pickups in that batch) that ALL need to get instructions, decals, and boxart put together, proofread, and rechecked again. And we're too slow already!
Erik
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.

Great! Great! GREAT!!!!

Is there any 1958-59 Chevrolet 3-tons or 5-tons trucks, cab only, in 3d print?
-
Oh, how I'd LOVE to get the '58-'59 Chevy pickup!! (from Round2's 55-57 Chevy Cameo-Stepside)

It was the excavator advertised in their catalog back in the ‘70’s that never materialized I always wanted and still do , that would be epic …
You meant this one?
I'd like to get it too! BUT I'd be EXTREMELY surprised if round2 would produce it.
I personally believe that a more modern excavator would be more profitable to kit. If ever.
But in the meantime, may I recommend this youtube video about a DIY scale modern excavator:

I sure hope they gonna do the '74-'77 Comets and Mavericks too!
But still very very happy to get the '71-'73s (small bumpers)

Humm...... The AMT Plymouth MoPower funnycar, seems that it has a very similar chassis-engine to AMT's "Nitro-Charger" funnycar?
That Nitro-Charger is the second or third model kit that I bought, back in the mid 1970s. Still have it.

Admittedly, I will buy virtually any resurrected old AMT or MPC kit that Steve G and the fine people at R2 can get to the shelves. I’d be in on the Comet and Tempest, but perhaps even more:
’66 Skylark GS
’65-‘66 Dodge Monaco, Polara
’68-‘69 Impala
’66-‘69 Bonneville
’65 Olds 88
’65-‘66 Barracuda in stock form
’73-‘74 Charger
’72 Road Runner
’73-‘74 Challenger
’67-‘68 Galaxie
’60 El Camino and Nomad wagon
’59-‘60 Buick, Pontiac
’63-‘64 Bonneville, Grand Prix
’58 Bonneville
’59 Galaxie, Edsel
Etc… I could go on, but fear I will lose my audience…lol
Really, any and all resurrected tools that we all thought were long gone just a few years ago, are a gift! Thanks Steve G. and Co.!!!
Of those, in my humble opinion, I'd say that the MPC '74 Charger and MPC '72 Road Runner would be the most probable reissues, then the MPC "Vette Van", MPC "Custom Corvette" (ex Mako-Shark II) and MPC Pontiac Fiero.
And since Round2 has reissued all the AMT big rigs recently (exept their Kenworth T600 and Canepa), they are left with the ERTL Internationals F-2575, F-2674 and F-4270 that haven't been reissued in a loooonnng time.

That Revell "Can Do" towing sure is MORE than ripe for a reissue!!! Come-on, Revell!

I see AMT will be bringing out the '66 Barracuda Hemi Hustler , '70 Monte Carlo low rider , '57 Chevy Bel-air street machine and 1969 Ford Falcon Modified Stocker !
Sure would be nice if AMT would include the stock building option with their '66 Barracuda Hemi Hustler. I doubt they would, but who knows?

That Saturn-V rocket, It looks like it is a 4D-master (or Aoshima) kit, 1/100 scale. Seems they also did the Space Shuttle, in 1/72 scale seen on that video.

Speaking of old vintage kits; I wonder what happened to Palmer molds. It is my understanding that Palmer (and Pyro) ended up with Lindberg, as per that youtube video:
And since Lindberg is now Round2, and seems Round2 sold a bunch of old molds to Atlantis.....
-
Is it the same top for both of those 1965?
-
Any news or rumors on what Round2 is gonna reissue next year?
Here's my list of possibilities:

I wish that Atlantis would acquire the Renwal Revival moulds (if they still exist that is) and reissue them.
Failing that is there any full set of Renwal Revival kits owner out there who would let someone scan and copy them for 3D printing?
A few old Renwal catalogs:

Sure would be nice for it to be reissued as as Police/taxi!
