Tom Geiger Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Also love to see a early Jeep Wagoneer,but they where never kitted? Never done. The closest was the Jeep pickup kit that we saw maybe 10-15 years ago. That would be a good reissue. RMR did a Wagoneer resin kit off this tool.

unclescott58 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) The mention of the '66 AMT Barracuda kit above, if the kit could come back, I'd hope it would still include the stock slant six. The models of the first generation Barracuda kits came the six and a Hemi as the two engine choices. So if you wanted to built the stock version of those kits, you built a six cylinder version. I'm glad you guys clarified the Camaro SS front misinformation. Both the first and second generation Camaros were offered with both both SS and RS packages. Both packages were sold separately or could be ordered together. Has noted, the SS came with the standard front end, unless the RS package was ordered with it. I would love to see AMT's original second gen early Camaro reissued. Being that it was a non-RS and an SS. Were the recent 2nd gen kits are all Z-28 with the RS front end. By the way, you too could order your Z-28 back in the day with or without the RS package. This all changed with the '74 model year. Scott Edited June 4, 2015 by unclescott58
Edsel-Dan Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I am fairly certain the 69 AMX kit in the AMT box shown earlier was Jo-Han's kit Sold by AMT! They did a Few of them then. Including the Javelin/AMX in Race only. (Mark Donahue's to be exact, though Trams AM/IMSA or Nascar is Not labeled) It was offered in almost Identical markings but for George Folmer's T/A team. I had the Last Jo-Han re-issue of the kit (2n1 Stock & drag) and the race parts were Identical between it and my 3 AMT/Coca-Cola Donahue kits!!! AMT also sold the Jo-Han 70 Olds 442 & Toronado's in their own boxes I have Both AMT & Jo-Han USA Oldies boxes of the Tornado!! Testor's sold the 442 in their HSO series after Jo-Han;s run in the USA Oldies!! I have 2 of those!! It Is too bad about this though I too would Love to see them back!! I do Hope the rest of the kits brought Back out by Model-King get re-issued Soon! After all, They have re-issued the 69 GTO Judge Funny car, 72 Blazer, & 78/9 Ford F-250 Camper's Special/Firestone Super Stones pickup ,So Why not the others??
Snake45 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 So if Chrysler wanted that tool destroyed, I'm betting that the body from the Craftsman Valiant kit that started as the 1963 and was modified all the way through 1965 as promo and Craftsman kit, was the 1966 Signet and that body got modified into the Fireball 500. I have no doubt at all. In fact, I recently came to exactly the same conclusion on my own.

ChrisBcritter Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 The mention of the '66 AMT Barracuda kit above, if the kit could come back, I'd hope it would still include the stock slant six. They early early gen Barracuda kits came the six and a Hemi as the two engine choices. So if you built the stock version of those kits, you built a six cylinder version. Could be; note that the Fireball 500 (at least the latest issue) has a stray slant-6 intake manifold on one of its trees.
Dwight55 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 I don't want to see anything reissued, I want something new for a change. IE a 60 El Camino or a 72 El Cam. How about a nice mid 80's chevy pick-up?
roym Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 1; 71-76 Firebird Trans Am (especially the 75 & 76!) 2; Warlock Dodge pickup. 3; 71-73 Mustang road car 4; (Ford of Europe) "Mercury" Capri II Ghia. 5; Camaro T-top with slanted nose; or Bronco; or 76 Mustang; or any Kenworth/Peterbilt conventional.Or..........
Longbox55 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 How about a nice mid 80's chevy pick-up? MPC already did one. Can be easily reissued, and is probably one of the best Chevrolet truck kits ever done. No need for an all new tool.
lysleder Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 1. AMT Diamond in the rough 2. MPC "Scavenger" Datsun tow truck 1-0746 3. MPC Ford off-road van 1-0413 4. MPC "Bear Bait" Chevy Chevette 5. AMT Chevy Monza SS
unclescott58 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 An odd one I'd like to see reissued is the boat that came with the Model King release of the '70 Bonneville. Made the mistake of trading it to another MCCM member. The kit I got in return I liked (the Revell custom '49 Mercury), but I wish I had the boat. Scott
Deathgoblin Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 only one I can think of is the AMT Subaru Brat. I'd love to have one of those.

Greg Myers Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Who's got these molds ? Edited June 5, 2015 by Greg Myers
Snake45 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Does Round 2 have access to the old IMC molds? If so, I'd love to see some of them. Start with the VW Beetle.
Deano Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Who's got these molds ? As best my brain recalls, of the kits you've pictured only the Lola and the Chaparral have been reissued post-IMC. Both were done in a series of "Historical" kits by Union. They may still have the tooling or the tooling could be parked in someone's driveway.
Snake45 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Wouldn't it be amazing if THOSE molds (or the MKIV) turned up? I'm not a particular fan of those cars, but I'd HAVE to buy them and build them just for nostalgia's sake (and to show support).
unclescott58 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Ah, Greg you know what I like. The Avenger GT-12 is one of my holy glails. The IMC Chaparral 2E is pretty high up their too. Does Round 2 have the dies for these kits, is the question? Scott
kitbash1 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I'll jump in the pool Paxton Turbine 1/20th scale Watson Roadster Ford J Car McLaren Mk8B 1/20 scale Any scale AMX or Javelin
oldcarfan Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 The AMT '58 and '59 Fords, any wagons, any and all of the MPC annuals from the '70s. And please, please re-release the MPC Datsun pickup truck with all the stock parts... Please?
