I'm sticking to discussing the '68 and '69 Coronet R/Ts here. Why didn't Revell produce kits of them if there is so much demand? If not Revell, who else would, and why haven't they? Ertl even went so far as to dig out the MPC '70 Coronet and pair it with the modern AMT Mopar B-body underpinnings. Why wouldn't they get more bang for their buck with both '68 and '69 Coronet kits instead? There were many all new kits from AMT during the Ertl era, but no '68 nor '69 Coronet R/Ts...yes, my opinion only, but the real cars aren't that high on the Mopar Popularity Scale, and I don't feel they'd be great sellers in 1/25 scale, either.

Consider also that no model company (okay, pre-Hobbico bankruptcy Revell, basically) chose to create a new kits of the '68 or '69 Coronet , but they did chose to create kits of the '67 Dodge Coronet R/T, '67 Plymouth GTX and '67 Charger R/T (which share many parts) instead. They already had the decent 1/24 Monogram '69 Coronet Super Bee kit (aka, "'69 440 Six Pack") to reissue at will, so it made no sense for them to create an all new 1/25 '69 kit. Is the '68 distinct enough to create an all new kit in 1/25 scale? Other than a Dick Landy version (which was more of a Performance Clinic type car, rather than an every weekend drag strip car), what would the second version be of a '68 Coronet R/T? I'm seriously asking, as I don't see why would Revell would chose to go down that path, and if not Revell, who else would do it?

400 grit 3M Wet-or-Dry sandpaper (don't use the flexible clear-backed wet sanding paper) on a piece of glass, granite, etc. will work great. You may also want to look into the wheels from the AMT '69 Chevelle SS kit, as they are a bit deeper than standard Chevy Rally wheels, and have a separate center cap, which, IMHO, makes them easier to work with when modifying things. Not the best pic, but...:

Out soon:

Or maybe it shows shows some people don't take the time to search the forum for an existing topic discussing the same kit they are about to start a new topic to discuss. There is no huge pent up demand for '68 and '69 Dodge Coronet R/Ts, sorry. There are plenty of originals still available on eBay, etc. if you want to build one.

^That order.

I'm guessing the same as included with the AMT Ford C-series Stakebed kit.

AMT #1178:

The AMT '77 Ford Cargo van is back, this time in Coca-Cola livery, with a vending machine and bottle crates included:

I don't think it ever can be-- the convertible and hardtop shared most parts. Other than the parts which migrated to the Funny Car, I would guess the custom Flag wheels may have survived if they were a separate insert for the tool base.

Usually when the latter happens, the O.P. is guilty of the former.

Now that Round2 has shown two newly created, Vega Pro Stock-specific bodies, I'm wondering if they are still planning to package it with the Twister Vega (IIRC, what remains of the GM H-body Pro Stock tooling) chassis, etc? Sadly, that "chassis" is no more that the remnants of the stock everything-molded-in, promo style piece with space hogged out to clear the slicks. Stock rear Vega suspension, a metal axlerod, and a plate to hold it in place...hard to get excited about this reissue unless you love curbside builds. MPC American Spirit Vega: Twister Vega:

Were the larger diameter mutli-spoke (100 spoke?) wheels and tires (those now included with the current '86 Monte Carlo SS kit) supposed to be included with this kit? The box art would seem to confirm that, as those are definitely not the 13" diameter rolling stock on the built-up model.
