With the license issue hit and miss , might not happen. But you can’t do an accurate Movin On truck with the kit anyway, so let’s save the reissues for different versions of the truck with added or retooled parts of the stupendously priced variants!

I second that motion.

The first “rig” I ever built was the F4270 with a Sunoco Chrome Tanker. Actually, my Dad did most of the “building.” I was in charge of locating the parts, breaking them off the runners, and sanding off the burrs.

Had to start somewhere at age 7.

I’m wondering about the existence of these molds, though. Both the F4270 and the original COE4070 were “updated” to later versions. The Transtar II and the 4300 with sleeper have been re-issued within the last 10-15 years. Not so with the original kits. We’re the original molds modified in such a way as to be “non-recoverable?”

These “Blueprint Replicas” were really nice kits. Sharper detail and better parts fit than the AMT offerings of the day (no offense, AMT), and they featured steerable front wheels and were molded in color. Would love to see these originals come back.

I would hope that we will see the other two spinoffs,The Challenge Mixer and the Alaskan Hauler, what do you think Round 2?
