Thanks for bringing back the 1/16 “Dukes” Charger and the “Street Charger” I see alot of hype for race cars in 1/16th scale. any hopes for 1/16th scale factory stock or 2in1 cars on the horizon? Did the Chargers do well enough to justify the risk?

I’m very happy that you guys are re-popping a lot of the old Star Trek kits even though the cost in the UK can be eye popping! Do you have any plans to bring the USS Defiant and DS9 Space Station back?

I love your Trek models and I look forward to the releases this year. Any chance of a 1/350 version of the Klingon Cruiser from Star Trek:The Motion Picture? Keep up the excellent work!

Just bought the Romulan BOP kit and noticed that there are no decals for the windows on the side of the hull. These are clearly shown on the assembled model in the photos on the bottom of the box. If their shown, you would assume that their included. I’ve heard the Reliant suffers the same fate, no side windows, their only available in the Aztec decal set. Why? What would it take to include these windows? Sorry, but it’s irritating to find these omissions when you open the box, especially at the prices being charged for these reissues.

I had forgotten about the Street Charger, and I knew about the General Lee. It seems to me it would have been better to save the original molds and copy them with the alterations rather than to alter the original molds. Apparently it’s cheaper to alter existing molds than make new ones?

The tooling was modified to make the Street Charger kits and later the Dukes of Hazzard Charger. Thanks but we have everything we need.

That’s great news! Is this because parts are missing from the example i’m sure you have on hand, or a fault with the mold? If it’s an issue with missing parts I may be able to help. I have two originals i’ve been scared to build due to thier value.

We are currently researching how many parts will need to be retooled in order to reissue the Petty Charger. Assuming the project works out, our plan is to mold the body in clear. If the Petty kit is released and is a success, we will probably follow up with the Baker version – assuming licensing can be obtained.

Hello again, I was wondering if I could get an update on the 1/16th scale Richard Petty Dodge Charger? Will it be clear bodied like the original? And will you be doing the Buddy Baker/Bobby Isaac Charger as well? Thx.
