.........FOR THOSE INTERESTED.....just spoke with Round2 Auto world, and as of 1 minute ago am told the MPC 69 barracuda will be released sometime in  Feb., and the USA-1 Vega is pending, but not due for awhile.......just thought I'd pass it on....the Ace.......:P

Best bet anymore is going on the Auto World Store website and babysitting the future release section. They're usually a month ahead or so - eg February's kits should be listed soon if they're not up there yet along with the single January kit the 1/32 Ranchero.

Ya know, Many years ago AMT said it was going to reissue the old Astro 1 Chevrolet show car but never did. I've always wondered what happen to it . Does anyone know is the molds were destroyed  or it was turned into something else ( can't imagine what?) I know a bunch of builders that would love to have one or two or..........:wub:

How bad did they ruin the molds doing this? Is there enough there for Round 2 to easily restore this kit back to the Astro showcar?

Yeah, well the new one is a definite step backwards. All Gee Whiz and Glitz, but lousy to use. Harder to see what is both New and a Kit. Too Jumbled. I dislike having to choose so many filters to try to find what I want, when the website could just be set with tabs to the categories. Another case of Too Much Show and not enough Go.

This should cover everything automotive 'cept for the Lindberg '38 Ford Convertible street rod and '67 Olds 442 W30:

The box art for the '84 GMC is exquisite! I'm going to have to buy a couple of those to go with the 13 variations of that kit I have already... :D

If they are doing those......I like this one too!!!!!

Same series as those others.....or at least I saw them at Dollar General together....

My thoughts exactly and if they ever find all the inserts, to cobble together a '79 Dodge Sweptside 4x4, I'd like a similar setting.

Great work John G.!
