I would think they would issue Lindberg items under the Lindberg brand...Round 2 generally has been consistent lately with use of the AMT brand, the MPC brand, Polar Lights..though the '34 Ford truck I can definitely see reissued as an AMT w/ period box art..I'd bet 99% on that one, and I'm not a gambler...

Maybe a reality TV hoax gone bad.

The Hawk stuff doesn't appeal to me either..with the Lindberg kits of the last 15 years or so ('53 Ford, '64 Dodge & Plymouth, '61 Chevy, '66 Olds, '66 Chevelle, etc) I have enough to meet my needs, but if they start tooling up variations of these... I can't imagine the 1/20th stuff that Lindberg did in the '90s will return..some interesting subjects, wrong scale. I do admit I have a soft spot for the '70s 1/32nd Lindberg snap kits (Granada, T-Bird, Charger, etc) because those kits are where I got my start in this hobby as a kid back in the day..and the HO scale Mini-Lindys are fascinating. I do wonder if any more of the old IMC tooling exists... I'd love to see some of their '60s racing cars return (GT-40, Chapparal, Lola, etc)..

Is that the same wheel in the recent AMT '75 & '76 Gremlin reissues?

Very sharp.

Only the engine and chassis could be carried over from that kit to do a 2011+ car..would have to tool up new interior, body, glass, trim, wheels, etc. Plus, was that tooling even Lindbergs---it first appeared as a Testors kit back around 2007... Those are very nice, along w/ the '64 Dodge and Plymouth...but those weren't very recent-those first came out 15 years ago or more...

Maybe, but Lindberg has been among the walking dead for years...they haven't made any effort to produce anything original in a long time.

Very interesting... will be interesting to see what Round 2 does with Lindberg tools in the coming years.

Odd how the cap doesn't go the full length of the bed..don't think I've ever seen anything like that in 1:1.

I've heard the Jada Econoline is pretty innacurate, though.

A 1st gen Econoline van and pickup along w/ a 1st gen Bronco would be neat future subjects for Moebius to go w/ their '67-72 F-series.

Interesting....the front end doesn't look like the 1:1 concept, though. Looks like a stock bumper. Maybe AMT took some creative license..

Interesting..never seen the Autolite Special or Iron Horse kits. Neither of those are the same as the 1:1 Mach 1 concept car that Greg posted, though. Did AMT do a kit of that concept car? I like the wheels...

The parts I ordered 17 months ago have never arrived either....nor have my emails received replies. If they are out of business, why is their website still up and able to take orders? Why not respond to email questions about existing orders? I don't get it. They just don't seem to comprehend 'customer service'. It's not the money--I'm only out $20 or so, but the parts I ordered aren't available AFAIK from other casters (uptops for the Revell '69 Camaro convertible).

As it says in post #19, 1972.

It's actually over 50 years old..

Molded to the rear axle, looks like...that was common on MPC kits of that era.

That's what it looks like..probably one of the 'Put On' parts that MPC had in a bunch of kits in '71--oversized cartoonish parts.

And don't confuse the Uptown Magnum kit w/ the Magnum SRT8 kit being reissued next month...the full detail SRT8 kit is very nice, the Uptown kits seem very cheesy to me with the goofy sissors doors and oversized wheels and tires..they remind me of cheesy Jada diecast, very toy-like.

A toy. Not a very accurate kit.

Odd w/ the slicks not to have optional wheels...someone have pics of the instruction sheet? The '75 original issue has the honeycombs as the optional wheels, and the later marked as a Duster issues had some turbine wheels.

I need to get some of the ES Porsches...I have several of the Ferraris.

Hopefully they will use the vintage box art.
