It appears that Italeri is quick on the alternate-version bandwagon and has announced an Abarth version of their new 1/12 Fiat 500 kit.

Check page 14.
From what I've read in another article, there will be a monochromatic package similar to the old Sport trim that will be available on a few of the trim levels, rather than being it's own trim level.
It appears the Hornet and Plymouth Duster share the same wheelbase, and might have similar suspension setups, so I think the chassis from the AMT 1971 Duster would work well.
As I said before, I'm aware that it's actually a 2000s only car, but I think of the PT Cruiser's styling as more of a 90's design. Plus, he's doing it pro-street style which is definitely a very 90's trend!
I just want them to bring back more of the AMT/Ertl-era truck kits. Things like the 90s C1500, F150, Blazer 2dr, S10 and Sonoma, Ranger, Explorer, etc.
Yes, that is definitely allowed! I have a soft spot for that styling!
Anyways, the build is officially open! I have benn unpacking from a recent move, so have not had the chance to pull out my kits yet. I hope to be able to start by the middle of the month.
