The first comment that showed up for me was some bloke complaining about not getting replacement parts for the Silverado that he requested a few years ago I think is what he said, I could only get to about halfway thru the comments before I threw in the towel. -

Your welcome Dave, you are right, but it should make all the ones that proclaimed the sky was falling rest a little bit easier knowing that kits are coming soon. -

I think they know the market is still saturated with the kits, people that would be buying them, already have them, its all surplus. -

You understand the big reason Round2 hasnt been reissuing them is probably because of licensing over anything else, make's zero sense from a business standpoint to reissue those kits, just because those old kits are not selling does translate into no one is going to buy new kits with new tooled parts ( bodies) and decals never done before. What I think you are missing is they don't plan on reissuing the same kits, they plan on reissuing stuff that HAS NOT BEEN KITTED yet, meaning new bodies and decals using the old chassis tooling. Will it be successful, only time will tell. -
Finished this up a few weeks ago, I am not happy with this one, it was of those builds that just want to have issues no matter what you do, the glue for whatever reason was reacting to something and fogging stuff up, its not a very well built model and almost embraced and simply posting it as proof that I finished it lol, far as I am concerned it needs to be binned .

They really havent been focus on doing new tooled automotive subjects besides the Camaro kits for some years now, its pretty clear the reissuing of long OOP kits is working just fine for them at the moment, of course it would be nice to see some new tooled auto stuff from them, but at the same time, its cool to see what old kits they decide to run again. -

2017 Featherlite-ish Transporter

I finished this up last year, well, ok, its not 100% finished, that are some little things that I need to take care, but over all its been in this state since the end of 2017, just never got around to taking photos of it, well, I ok, I did take photo's of it about six months ago but didnt like how they turned out, so now I finally got back around to taking more photo's of it. The details, well, for those that dont, this is my 3rd(6th overall) that I have built that was worthy enough to be seen by others, its 98% scratchbuilt using Evergreen plastic products, the only parts kit parts would the wheel/tires and from Moebius , to scale this is about 51ft long, my next one I do will be a full 53ft or 26inches( I think), its about 1/24th-ish scale. I use plans direct from Featherlite to build them. Its not perfect, I can't make a straight cut to save my life, I have tried a lot of things, anyways, its a little bit rough , I am happy with it, but at the same time I am not. I hate trying to photograph large items like this.

2019 GMC Sierra ( UGLY Truck)

My misunderstanding Dan, I was under the impression you worked for a FCA dealership. FYI, we have 15 Ram in the family and I do think its a nice truck and I enjoy driving it. -
