So the old "Super Van" https://www.scalemates.com/kits/testors-123-supervan--1162151 (which was originaly a IMC kit, used frame-engine-drivetrain from their Dodge A-100 pickup) that mold might still exist? Or was that "Super Van" mold sold to Atlantis? There was a movie made about that van: Would be nice to be reissued; it was made by Georges Barris.... For those who want to know more details about that kit, here's the instructions: https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/testors/barris_supervan/1.html#media Yea, this is definitely "off-topic" discussion. Let's get back to the MPC OBS Chevy truck (which I know little about...)

To replicate a Mustang coupe, one could use the MPC 1973 Cougar top? Looks the same at first glance...

The instructions for it are on Round2's website.

I noticed the "cutaway" under the van's roof, for a "giant sunroof", maybe? Or can we hope for a reissue of the "open road" camper? It sure would be NICE to get that one back! Here's a nice review of an original kit:

Found the answer by myself; should have checked on youtube hpiguy first; the "optional" hood is indeed included with the police version.

Separate hood?? Is there a separate hood in the other (recent) issues of the AMT Chevy van?

Did you notice on the MPC Sod-Buster Chevy pickup; the grille seem to be a separate part from the chrome tree.... Seems to me that there will be other years available. But what year exactly is that Sod-Buster? Oh, how much I'd like to get a square-body Chevy (or GMC) pickup with an 8-foot bed!

The "John Player Special Dal....." LLLLMMNMMMAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!! and it starts to hurt!!! LOL

The Space-1999 Moonbuggy / amphicat in 1/24..... Was that kit issued before? I don't recall it from the MPC kits.... Could it be the old AURORA "Banana-Splits" buggy, with figures? https://culttvman.com/main/tim-shorneys-banana-splits/ If so, please, PLEASE, P-L-E-A-S-E include the figures!!!

Will the "extended" fenders on the dually bed will be molded-on, or will they be separate? It would be nice to have those separate, so as to be able to build a "regular" 8-foot bed.

Did you notice? The "Alaskan Hauler" has all the stock parts to build a "stock" W-925. Kinda like a 2-in-1 transport. ?

Ohhh, I sooo hope that there will be a kit of the '92 (or so) Chevy pickup with an 8-foot bed!!! King-cab version would be very nice too! "Pseudo" GMC grill would be a nice bonus. And there's hoping for a modified reissue of the '82 Chevy, but with an 8-foot bed! Should I hope for a '68 442 from the '69 442 by MPC/AMT?

My questioning of the inacuracies of the Revell's 351C engine were a bit too early. I now see that the only "problem" is with the timer going THROUGH the inkake manifold; an easy-enough thing to correct when building the kit. My apologies to all involved. PintoKING

That Revell engine looks like a 351 WINDSOR, and not a 351 CLEVELAND engine. The "W" as in WIndsor had the timer going THROUGH the intake manifold, but the "C" as in Cleveland had the timer going directly into the block. A VERY nice kit nonetheless, judging by the pictures. I want one.

What an excellent idea! Make a 4-door sedan with that kit (roof-trunk) and the 1965 Chevelle wagon! Now I want one!

JoH... as in JoHan Pro-Stock Comet/Maverick. After all, it was issued under the AMT banner in 1971.... And the molds, IF they still exist, are incompatible with the other manufacturer's molding machines. So need to be 100% cloned.

100% cloned..... One hundred percent cloned...... Could it be the JoH.... Nawwww. Maybe?

100% cloned from a vintage kit..... My guess is now the MPC Cosma-Ray Corvette.

As for the Paystar 5000 variations; there were 4, as far as I know; That one with the 5th wheel The soon-to-be-reissued one with the gravel dump-box The one with the cement truck And the one with the logging trailer (different than the AMT ones)

I hope the Paystar will have the "high-flotaison" tilres in the front. Very happy about the reiissue of the Chevy Bison and Sodbuster Chevy pickup. As for big rigs; the only ones that haven't been reissued irecently are the ERTL Internationals F-4270, F-2575 and F-2674 conventionals.

That version was available around 1978-79, as far as I know. Then it was reissued a few years later as the "Street Fever", molded in black, without the hood scoop, and then a few years after as the "Custom Corvette", molded in blue.

So, whiclh one of those will it be? My "money" is on either MPC's custom Corvettes, Pro-Stock Pintos or Aston Martin 007.

Please, please, PLEASE reissue the Lindberg's 1/32! (I sure hope they have the molds for those; ie '77 T-Bird, Cordoba, Granada, ect.)

AMT-1365 1967 Oldsmobile 442. ???? I have the AMT-6268 1966 Olds 442. So is this a typo; actually being the 1966 that AMT indeed did make, or is it actually the LINDBERG 1967 Olds 442? I'd be very happy if it is indeed the LINDBERG 1967!

Mr. Metallic, you had the EXACT SAME idea as I had for this post. From that list, in my humble opinion, there are a few kits that make more "sense" than the others, for a reissue; My "money" is on one of those, but we will see! MPC Charger III MPC Cosma-Ray (never reissued as far as I know) MPC Mako-Shark II (last available as the "Custom Corvette" around 1984, with some modifications) MPC 78 Pinto Pro-Stock (or make it a 74-76; different front-end) MPC Challenger Pro-Stock AMT (JoHan) 71 Maverick-Comet Pro-Stock (that one; highly unlikely, but would be oh-so-sweet!!!)
