Hello. Does anybody know anything about it? Why hasn't this been reissued yet? Was there any damage to the mold? Is there a story behind this "lost model" that I missed?

It was the final iteration of the Promo/Craftsman kit tooling. Unfortunately the molds were most likely either damaged, scrapped or lost. 

Hopefully Round2 will consider this cool subject for their "Cloning programme"...

In the early 70's AMT scrapped many of its the molds were considered obsolete at the time. A high percentage of these molds were for annuals or promos. The molds for this were most likely scrapped during this purge.

Round2 has found a few molds that were thought to be scrapped (like the Mach Won Mustang) but those are rare gems and not the norm.
