More reissues, Revell's Model A Pick Up this time

styromaniac said : You certainly nailed the topic at the top of the thread with the "Tweedy Pie" and all its variations.                                      How about the "Orange Crate"...think it was re released under the moniker "Chopped Deuce"...or something like that. Basically the same kit with a couple of minor tweaks...headlight shapes being one of them.                        And Revells classic '29 Model A Roadster / Cab pick up kit ....re released under the "Rat Rod" name...with wide white walled bigs and little for tires.

I could only find a few variations on the Orange Crate.

Now the Pick Up, there's another bunch of reissues.

With some combinations . . .

Let's not confuse these reissues with those from MPC and Monogram, totally different kits albeit the same '29 Model A. 

And we know the monogram kits started with the "Blue Beetle" and ended with their "Blue Bandito"

Those aren't Revells, those are the ex-MPCs.

As usual Greg...seems like you've got them all covered. Now...how about the 70s? 80s ? re - treads of those classic Roth kits...somewhere I saw " The Outlaw " released as " Canned Heat "...and " The Mysterion " re released as    " Dual Jewel". Same for his monsters....  " Mr Gasser "released as " Mr Smog".........." Mothers Worry " released as " Heavy Head ." Talk about a company squeezing the last buck outta something...think they might've been made in Japan. Wonder if Roth ever saw any of that money!

Not with those name changes, he didn't!

Now how did those sneak in there ?

You are correct Snake. I wasn't paying attention.

What I've read , is that this was an end around, to skirt license issues.
