As some of you know, Auto World has struck a deal with RC2 to market plastic kits and some diecast from RC2. They claim that they're also going to do some new tooling, but everything announced for 2008 is reissues. So far it's all looking good for one side of the room :rolleyes: ;)
Here is the press release:
VISIT: http://www.autoworldhobby.com (http://www.autoworldhobby.com/)
PLEASE NOTE: Box art and kit configurations are subject to change!
No doubt, there are items on this list which have been out in the not too distant past, but we need to get SOMETHING out there for you guys to munch on while we continue planning. Even so, many of these first releases haven't been available since we were all youngsters!
Here's the list:
AMT
'51 Chevy Convertible
Digger Cuda
'49 Ford
Hippie Hemi
'60 Ford Starliner "2 In 1"
Li'l Stogie
Chevy Titan 90 Cabover
1/25 Display Case
Star Trek Enterprise - TV Version
MPC
'70 Super Bee (MPC body tool with Ertl AMT Chassis)
Rupp Super Sno-Sport Dragster 1/20
Class Action '80 Monte Carlo with Trailer and Custom Chopper
IMPORTANT NOTES:
'51 Chevy Convertible - we just located the tooling inserts in Dyersville to bring this version back!
'60 Ford Starliner "2 in 1" - while the tooling is not designed to make this a 2 in 1 kit, it is our hope that we will be able to include both stock and custom parts in this kit, along with nice "New Retro" vintage-style packaging by yours truly!
'70 Super Bee - as the body for this kit comes from original MPC tooling, we wanted to give it the MPC branding back and I plan on creating a vintage style package for this one as well.
Chevy Titan 90 - we are looking for the inserts for this version of the tool. Fingers crossed!
