unclescott58 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Odd..this kit has been removed from the Round 2 MPC page. It was there last week. See my posting #22 and the ones right before it. I hope my idea of why they pulled it is right. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 So Casey, what does this mean? Is it coming? Or not? No idea. I just found the image at Stevens Hobby's 'site and added it. My guess is it will eventually be released if Round2 went so far as to release what info and images they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I wonder if it will have the 2wd parts included....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I wonder if it will have the 2wd parts included....? I know that that's the only reason that I'd buy one ! Two wheel drive parts and stock parts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 1/20 scale kits do not sell......(not counting Tamiya F1 kits which are in their own world) I'd not be surprised if it was canceled of deferred for a long while. Retooled into the Ironside kit....maybe it could sell....but that's a lot of $$$$ to return it.....unless all the tooling is in the mold blocked off.

Edsel-Dan Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) But, They modified the body from a full window van to cargo/panel side before this issue. So, Even IF all the Ironside parts are there, it would take a Lot to restore the body to Window van configuration I have built 2 of these. a 72 (or so) annual (molded in white & black) and the Ironside (molded white & blue) I would Lov e to see the Ironside kit or a Stock Annual re-issued, But Doubt it do to the modifications done. I am surprised to see the Stock grill in the pictures, as at least 2 of the last issues had a Custom Only grill option. were they in different section of the molds??

Whelen36 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I guess I'm in the minority here as I'm interested in the 4x4 version of this kit. I would like to see some of the older dodge , ford , and Chevy 4x4 kits rereleased. And the ones that had the dirt bikes in them too..

unclescott58 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'd be happy with a cargo / panel body if the stock and 2X4 parts are restored / unblocked . I would prefer a Club Wagon version with the stock windows and seats. But, I'd be happy with a plain stock cargo van too. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Can it be built stock? I'm not keen on the version shown on the box. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Wonder how much cost would be involved to turn this into a 1/25th scale kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Can it be built stock? I'm not keen on the version shown on the box. Scott I , too , was hoping for a stock version ; some-thing along the lines of the kit's origins . What truly struck me about this kit is its packaging : "Product Made in the USA with over 90% US Parts" ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
