I actually just turned in that blog post literally 10 minutes ago. It will be put up next week but another post will be put up sooner that I think a lot of people will be interested in.

The background story of the original instructions gave the L.E.’s sister ship names as the John Glenn, Marco Polo, and Vaco da Gama. It would be cool to include those on the decal sheet along with specific insignia for each. I mean, the Viking Helmet-within-the-electron-orbits symbol was appropriate for the Leif Erickson; how about replacing the helmet with the outline of a Mercury capsule for the John Glenn? It might be challenging to come up with similar designs for the Vasco da Gama and Marco Polo, but I’m sure there’s a talented Art Director SOMEWHERE at R2 who could do it ;). Maybe come up with a numbering system for the ships as well?

I have one of those sitting unfinished in the basement from the last re-release. Any improvement to that kit would be welcome though I’d love to see it in 1:25. AMT did Imperial coupes back in the mid-’60s but those vintage kits are too pricey to hack into a Black Beauty. Might that tooling still exist???

This kit will be a reissue of the 1:32 scale kit. Though we are cleaning up the kit a little bit, we don’t have plans to add the dual headlights at the moment.

Most interesting to me is that the art shows quad green headlights but the toy-quality old kit only had two headlights. Is this an indication of some improvement done on the old kit or a new (hopefully 1/25) tool????

(The real car’s headlights flipped over so it could be driven on public roads at night with regular clear headlights -one per side- but then be filmed for TV with the quad green lights. As far as I know the clear lights modeled in the old kit weren’t shown on TV.)

but i have to admit a glow in the dark one sounds like a good idea too.

Green glow in the dark, it’s changed to a ghostly light
Blue. That would give the cloaked ships and monsters
An more stronger effect.

Hey what would be a killer of
a thought is if Round 2 made the old AMT klingon battle
Crusier and the Romulan Bird of Prey Glow in the Dark kits
and called “The Star Trek Cloaked Enemy series”.

Maybe even a Klingon Bird of prey Glow in the Dark.

Also The old Aurora Monster kits such as King Kong and
Godzilla in Glow in the Dark w/large box.
