Not that long overdue. I think this was in the catalog up until the Hobbico fiasco 5 years ago. Not saying I wouldn't buy it again if it came back, but I'd rather see the Tudor, which hasn't been seen since it's first issue in 2007.

OOr even better, how about a new body style altogether?

Pickup. Roadster pickup, 4 door, Sport Coupe, cabriolet and B-400 are still waiting for their chance in plastic. Kits of the phaeton and Vicky with accurate bodies would be welcome too.  Resin has covered all of them to varying degrees of accuracy.

My pick would be the pickup, imagine it with the flathead from the Tudor? yes please.

I would love to see a 32 Sport Coupe,32 Vicky or B-400 in plastic.I have the resin Jimmy Flintstone 32 Ford B-400 body. Replicas &Miniatures of Maryland no longer casts the 32 Ford Sport coupe or 32 Vicky bodies. I definitely missed out on getting both of those?

i did the master for the Sport Coupe. I'm sad it is no longer available as well because I only have one copy. Wish I had another Vicky too. Either would be a welcome addition to the Revell line, but the Vicky would probably be a better seller.

I think it's about time for MPC to re-issue this Jeep Commando kit. I didn't know it came with a full roof option. Never saw a completed kit wit that roof. Bidding for this used kit is starting to get way out of hand. I could never justifi to myself spending this amount on a 2nd hand kit.

I think it's about time for MPC to re=issue this camper kit. Look how much they are going for.

The "parts pack" with the camper and "wedge" was more recent.  There is one of those on eBay for almost as much as the original-issue kit mike referenced.
