This is the email I got from Revell a few days ago, basically the same thing that has been said here. The ending at least leaves a little hope. She could be blowing smoke though.
Hello Mr. Sargent,
Thank you for contacting Revell. We appreciate the interest in our kits.
As far as the NASCAR COT and a generic type kit. It would seem to be a good idea. However, part of making Nascar and other model kits is the licensing requirements and agreements that we have to adhere to. Some of these agreements would restrict us from making the generic type models.
For the COT, we may be producing later this year or into next year. But for now, the COT kit is not being released.
Thank you again for your input. If we can assist you any further, please contact us again.
Regards,
Joyce Collier
