Could this kit still be reissued ?

[Greg Myers]

Not much to it, but it would make for a nice quick build or a good start on any number of nostalgia builds.

Yup.

I'd love to see it again!
The body alone is worth it.

I bet Atlantis Models would know, or might find out soon enough, as they would be the company most likely to possess the molds, if they still exist. It seems like something they might try, considering it's all styrene, with no vinyl molded parts needed.

Not sure how well it would be received, being 1/32 scale, but it definitely has nostalgia appeal. You can see the parts breakdown via the instruction sheet here: http://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/247/monogram-p411-dragster

It's NOT 1/32 scale. That's internet bull. I have several, and every singledy darn one is 1/25.

For nostalgia drag fans: its stable-mate, the old Long John streamlined dragster, is still available.  This is the Galaxie Ltd. version.  No doubt some of the talented builders in here could replace that "dummy engine" with the real deal and spiff it up in other ways.

Did Galaxie do a kit of The Glass Slipper, or am I thinking of something else?

Yupper, and just FYI, THAT kit is slightly on the large end of 1/24, and many of the repops have resin tires.

I agree wholeheartedly. This 49er dragster is definitely 1/25. 

I think the confusion comes because most(if not all) the other kits in that series were 1/32. 

I hope Atlantis got the molds, because this is right up their alley. I have a gluebomb I'm restoring/upgrading, but would love to have a couple in virgin plastic.
