  1. I'd also like to see the re-issue of IMC/Testors custom van "Love Machine"/"SuperVan", by Georges Barris. I wonder what happened to the molds. I know that the drivetrain/frame was the same as in the "Little Red Wagon" from their old 1965 or so Dodge A-100 truck.
  2. I see on another website that Round2 is supposed to reissue the AMT 1961 Ford Galaxie, kit AMT-1430. Any news/details about that?
  3. And that's how "the king lost his crown". To a Chevrolet. LOL
  4. The old Monogram Chevy Blazer was an 1973-1980 Blazer, as per the creaze(?) on the front fenders. So is that Blazer gonna be an all-new tool?
  5. 1970 FORD MAVERICK??? Can you confirm? Wow!
  6. My guesses on the MPC release: Chevrolet Chevette or Pontiac "SuperFly". A few other surprises?? Wow! More guesses: MPC '78 Dodge Warlock 4x4 pickup, AMT late 70s Chevrolet van with camper and interior, ERTL International F-2575 or F-2674 or F-4270, MPC Pro-Stock Pinto, AMT AMC Matador-X, MPC Corvette Mako-Shark, MPC Corvette vette-van, MPC 78 Chevrolet pickup with fleetside 8-foot bed (I can dream). What else?
  7. I seem to remember Steve-G posting a few weeks ago that Round2 was gonna reissue a MPC kit that hadn't been seen since the late '70's. Was that the Mach-One Mustang? But that was by AMT....
  8. I remember, well over a year ago, when Round2 announced the "Hostess Cake" Ford c-600, and that pic was shown, ALL-NEW truck on the pic! https://hobbymodels.com/collections/model-cars/products/amt-model-cars-1-25-ford-c600-hostess-city-delivery-truck-kit I wonder what is the "story" on that one. We indeed got the old AMT Ford C-600 with the delivery box that had been reissued quite alot before.
  9. This kit, the Make-Shark II, NEEDS to be reissued! It was last available in the late 1980s, as the (blue) "Custom Corvette', MPC kit #6359, with wider tires and rims.
  10. Nope for the chevy van; as he said MPC, and not AMT. However, there was also the MPC Ford van 4x4, short-wheelbase, with opening side door. But I fully agrees; the AMT "Open Road" Chevy van camper would be AWESOME to get reissued! I'd also say the "Little Red Express" Dodge truck, but that one was last available about 20 years ago, and he (Steve G) said last available in the late '70s. HOWEVER, there was also the "WARLOCK" Dodge stepside pickup, last available in the late "70s..... Time will tell. ?
  11. ...version last seen in the late 70's..... 1978 Chevette? 1978 Pinto? 1957 Corvette "gasser" style (non tilt-front-end)? 1/20 1969 Ford van? Chevrolet Monza? Vette-van? Ford T street-rod? "The Grand Superfly" Pontiac? (that one is YUMMY!)
  12. The Chevrolet Bison sure interest me! As far as I know; EVERY AMT "big rig" trucks have been reissued, exept maybe their Kenworths T-600/Canepa. There was also the Link-Belt Power shovel that was announced in the early 70s, but never issued. Could we "dream" of that being done? Then on the ERTL "vault", these is their Internationals F4270, F2575 and F2674 what were never reissued...... And also their farm tractors; International, John-Deere and Massey-Fergusson, along with the John-Deere backhoe.
  13. I also wonder what happened to those other IMC/Testors molds; 1948 Fords (coupe and convertible), Avenger GT-12 (kit car on a VW chassis), Ford GT-40s, Chaparral and Lola and especially the "Love Machine" (Super-Van, by Georges Barris).
  14. MERCURY versions would be most welcome!!
  15. I want at least one tow-truck! But what about the "pre-announded" Ford 1-ton dump-truck of a few months ago? I want that one too!!!
  16. A GLIDDEN Pinto?? I knew that MPC did a Dyno-Don Nicholson (#1-1760) and Gapp & Roush (#1762) Pro-Stock Pintos, but I've never heard about the Glidden version. source: Scalemates.com But it is time Round-2 do a Glidden Pro-Stock version of their MPC Pinto to go along their Vega Pro-Stocks. ?

  17. "Shares the tooling" ??? Dare I dream of the 1961-63 Ford F-100 unibody?
  18. Good idea on those Firebirds! As for a fully-cloned (?) kits, I predict the MPC '68-'69 Impala and AMT "67-'68 Galaxie. Let the prediction-game begins!
  19. I wonder what is the "status" of Galaxie Limited. Was the company sold? Will they continue issuing their 46-48 Chevrolets cars? New bodies? (I want a town-sedan body).
  20. The seven Renwall Revival kits: Oh boy, do I HOPE those are gonna be reissued! So that leaves 8 other kits to be reissued.... Lindberg 1/32 cars of 1976-77?
  21. No, as the "unibody" were the 1961-63 Ford F-100. But still VERY EXTREMELY interesting!
  22. 1960 Ford F-100. REALLY??? Unibody?? WOW, just WOW!
  23. Yes, the "Race Truck" was an International; very few different parts than the "regular" kits; https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truckkit_instructions/ertl/8039_international/ Then, that one, a Peterbilt, with metal frame; ("Drag Truck") https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truckkit_instructions/ertl/8040-drag-truck/
  24. Please, PLEASE make it the Lindberg's 1/32 cars, like the Granada, Monarch, Cordoba, T-Bird et all!
  25. When watching the video of it: Notice at 5:08, the item "8" on the side of the box. Odd, very odd! Says there's a transfer-case... But there is none in that kit. Could it be that there would have been a 6x6 option that would have been available in the original ERTL kit? But a very minor detail; I still want that kit! Now, we need the "log-hauler" version. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/ertl-8014-international-paystar-5000-logger--542763
