AMT/Ertl is releasing four new kits with a bit of a twist. All are classics and include a bonus for the collector.
AMT/Ertl has released four new classic kits. The new twist with these kits is the addition/inclusion of a smaller scale die-cast version of the build kit.

While some of these cars are not new to the industry, being re-releases, they all have a new color scheme never seen before.
With these two new twists it will be exciting to add these to your collection.

All are 1/25th scale models with a mini-me version in 1/64th scale. The kits are all snaps but the detail they include supersedes this. These are not just curb-side builds, there are interiors and engines.

I haven't build a snap kit for close to 30 years. The '55 Nomad looks quite good. Could be nice for a fast build. Thanks Scott

That 2004 Pontiac GTO is a snap-fit kit, so talk about a fast build... I just bought it a few months ago... without a diecast car

I wish they'd do alot of the old 1/25 semis and trailers again! I'm building one of my old IMC Dodge L700 kits and now remembering how much I liked building rigs{have two L700 and one Mac R...and an ebay US mail truck and trailer kit coming}. You just don't see these kits in the stores any more...especially the trailer kits.

I agree 1000%, the older 1/25 scale trucks (tractors) and trailers were the best. i use to build them straight from the box or scratch build winch trucks and oilfield haulers back in the 70's and early 80's. Yes they are hard to find but they can be located in out of the way towns, and shops. Hopefully they will consider re-issueing them someday. My wife agree's with yours......
