See my posting #22 and the ones right before it. I hope my idea of why they pulled it is right.

[unclescott58]

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.

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 .

[Dave Van]

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]

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??

Yes....called inserts. Easy to swap for some parts.

I'd be happy with a cargo / panel body if the stock and 2X4 parts are restored / unblocked .

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..

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.

Lets hope for the best, the 4x4 version was great.

Sent Round 2 a note about the van and this is what i got back:

Jesse, it's still on! We had to work out some tooling issues. Should be available in December.

Thanks for your interest,

Sweet

[ZIL 111V]

Fantastic!

[Nova-ss]

Great news to hear.I would love to see the Ironsides van, but want to build the 4x4 version first.I had a big truck version when I was 13 years old . can't remember, but I believe it was Revell.it was a larger scale custom van.it had asm chevrolet in it.but it was fun.would love to see it out again.

[Casey]

Looks like it's out:

[Atmobil]

Cool!! I got a parts of an old gluebomb but not being complete I have not been able to restore it. Will buy this one

[unclescott58]

Can it be built stock? I'm not keen on the version shown on the box.

Scott

[Luc Janssens]

Wonder how much cost would be involved to turn this into a 1/25th scale kit

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" !
