I don't care if its a reissue. It's about time we get a different truck released. I'm glad to see any of the AMT kits survive. It will be a nice addition. Can't wait.

I'm surprised the Titan wasn't released sooner. I wish someone would've molded the grille and nametags, so I could use it on an Astro, but it's nice to see it come back.

I'm definitely happy to hear about the Titan re-release. I would also love to have a few of the International logging rigs but hope they get molded in white rather than than that God-awful orange of years ago. Talk about a pain trying to cover that bright colored plastic with paint!

I agree Bri about orange plastic. When the Monogram KW W900(snap) was re-released in 1991 in the orange plastic, I had a heck of a time covering it up. The orange kept popping through. I would like to see the F or S series Internationals re-released, or the Kenworth K123.

Astro with Titan markings--quick and easy for a repop, but I'll buy it anyhow.

Does any one know if it will have the original bus mirrors and hopefully the turbine engine?

They are going to try to get the engine in the kit, they are trying to get all the moulds found for it from what I have been told, if they are found then it will have the turbine! :-*Jim
