The MPC version of the 1/25 Petty Charger wouldn’t be a stretch to see reissued, chassis tooling is there, body would be the only question mark, I’m certain that the street Charger tool is still around and would not take much revision to make a stock car body. As for the Polar lights variant , the body was way off and the chassis needed some help but was good for parts , ideally a combination of the two would be great but no matter , with all the Petty reissues that have come out I’m sure a 1/25 Petty Charger or even a Road Runner are sure to appear! Right around 2!

Both were excellent kits and inspired great things while carefully cradling and wishing in the dimestore aisle. A re-release would be welcomed!

Is it going to be released? When? I have an original, but would love another one.

The Polar Lights kit was considered recently, but one of the tools has turned up missing. The MPC kit was heavily modified after the Petty release and would take considerable retooling to backdate it.

Just as the right ambience improves the dining experience so does great artwork on the box improve the model building experience. thank you for taking the box seriously in your kits. I love it!

Many of the kits that have been reissued are so much more appealing with the beautiful box art that they were originally released with and sell well because of it despite numerous reissues. I can think of several trucks and trailers with horrible box art photos that did not do the kits justice!

Will either of these be released any time soon??
I know the 1/16 scale charger was released a few years ago, I already have that kit.
