The promo won't have an engine, but then again, try and find a 1:1 Vega with a stock engine to use as reference material!

Plus, they're lousy boat anchors, they're aluminum.

Well, after looking at the Box Bottom shown by Chad in the November Round2 Video, We can see that the Vega Wagon kit, has the Full Tube Frame, not the boogered up plate from the more stock like kits.

Here is a copy of the instructions from the last time it was out (1976 or 77)?

It will make a great Drag Car, but my Pro-Mod Street Beast Idea is dead, until some other Vega kits come out.

The AMT wagon kit was never anything but a funny car.  Totally different kit from the hatchback, which was created by a (then) competing company, MPC...

Yeah, Mark, after drilling down into the instruction sheets over at the Drastic Plastic website, I found my error. The Sneak Peak photos at the top of this post, all appear to be ex-MPC tooling.  At least there will be an abundance of Vegas over the next 12-18 months!

It's refreshing to see a Mark IV engine powering a ---- Chevy-bodied car !

That's disappointing. I guess no Astre GT variant is planned. Sorry, Canadians, no Bert Straus Chief Chilly Willy for us. ☹️

maybe some resin caster can make the variant parts needed..
