Why would they be? It makes plenty of sense. The kit was produced in 2009 for the Model King release, so not only is it physically in China at or near the mold facility, but Round2 knows it's ready to go, needing nothing but new box art and decals. Sounds like an easy business decision to me. Fixed.

I'm surprised that one hasn't been reissued yet, but given Round2 pattern of reissuing kits which were reissued by Model King, it seems to only be a matter of when, not if. It'll be interesting to see how Round2 handles the box art for the Caterpillar bulldozer, since they seem to have intentionally left out the manufacturer's name. I suppose "CONSTRUCTION" could easily replace "CATERPILLAR" on the box:

Do you have a specific size or size range in mind?

That was unexpected: AMT-PP18 1/25 1957 Fantasy Parts Pack

Until we get more info for a specific topic for each kit, here are some reissues coming from Round2 in 2018: AMT-1086 - Construction Bulldozer AMT-1090 - Peterbuilt Cabover 352 Pacemaker AMT-1094 - Coca-Cola '55 Chevy Cameo Pickup

Another Model King reissue, reissued by Round2. I'll go out on a limb and predict the MPC(?) AMT Bronco will also be reissued within the next 16 months.

In the real world, that's exactly how you end up with things like this:

Just as an FYI, Chris' model shown above is a '69, which has different grille/headlights/bumper piece than the '70, so while the stock '69 grille insert is still include in the reissued '70 kit, it doesn't work with the '70 grille-- see second attached image of the '70 grille/bumper, please. Also, the tires were updated as Mark mentioned above, and the separate styrene whitewall (and matching tire sidewall grooves) were eliminated, so the tires now have a slightly raised ring where the insert previously resided: I took lots of pics which can be viewed here: http://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/783/1-20-mpc-1970-amx My thoughts and opinion of this kit-- it's okay, but nothing great. Lots of flash to remove, the kit has a lot of "soft" details (which was always why most MPC kits turned me off) and a few notable inaccuracies (the valve covers mentioned earlier for one), a few disappointments (the molded in headlight lenses), but is the only available AMC model for ~$30, so keep that in mind when tempering your expectations. I too wish this kit could've been backdated to a '69, but my guess is that wouldn't have been a good financial choice for Round2, and perhaps not even possible. At any rate, prepare to put more than the usual amount of prep work into this kit if you decide to take the plunge, but in the end, I think your effort will be rewarded with a nice looking model. There is room for additional detailing and overall improvement of this kit, so the end result could be pretty spectacular if the desire is there.

Can't quiiiiiiiite read the tattoo on the driver's arm...

If you could post a picture of the decal sheet please, Scott, I would appreciate it. I'm not expecting much else inside the kit to be much different from the '75 an '76 kits, but I'm pretty sure the stripes are different on the '74.

IIRC this car/kit has an extension piece ahead of the core support, so you may have to stick the nose end of the "chassis" into the body first, then the rear end, or you won't be able to get them two together easily. Also, the Michelin TRX tires the original kit included looked super dinky, so maybe try out something a little beefier if you have it.

I don't recall any Mickey Thompson slicks back in the day, only the Sportsmans in the '80s and Indy Profile tires in the '70s & '80s. This is what I think of when I think slicks, street car, and late '70s/early '80s:

This one is, well, not good, to be polite.

That is THE FE3 car owned by Angelo (I forget his last name), the exact car Revell based this version of the kit upon. He was involved with the measuring/picture taking long ago, when Revell first decided to proceed with the Cutlass kit(s).

This kit is what remains of the Monogram '34 Ford, which, like the '30 Ford Coupe, had a separate roof section so they could get both Coupe and a second Convertible/Roadster/Cabriolet version out of it without committing to separate body shells. As Dave mentioned above, not that accurate to the real Eliminator, but good enough for most people as it sits on the shelf.

No, not a one.

Yes, it appears to be identical to previous Eliminator kits, save for the smoothed tire sidewalls. IIRC this kit is what remains of the Monogram '34 Ford Coupe kit, so it has a lopped off tailhousing on the trans, hollow-top rearend, and, well see for yourselves via the instructions: http://manuals.hobbico.com/rmx/85-4465.pdf

Looks like it has arrived:

It's easy to use eBay's advanced search and enter "-ONLY" (for example) to filter out the bulk of certain sellers' listings, or "-decal" if you don't want to see any listings with those words in the title, etc. You can always use the price range limits, too, which are helpful if you are looking for one part and don't want to pay $14.99 for it when a complete kit would cost only a few dollars more. Ultimately, it's completely up to each buyer and seller to set the price they are willing to pay or ask for, but like most things, if you are patient you will eventually find what you're looking for, and at a price you are happy paying.

Who's getting one?

Looks like this one's available now, at least on ebay:

Bill, what if I told you Chevy has won more J.D. Power Initial Quality awards than any other manufacturer for five years running?

I purchased The Small Shop's bending tool as mentioned by Bernard K in the below linked post, and love it...should have bought one years ago
