Default Re: Red Alert returns

I used to be an avid model builder up until I got my learners permit.Then life took a surreal change.Now I just go to a few local Model builders shows during the wintertime on Sundays to see them.
In 1973,AMT also produced a larger packaged "Red Alert Drag Team" resin kit that consisted of Red Alert,a 72 Chevy Van & open trailer w/pit tools.I built this kit three different times as my sisters kept destroying it when we would fight as kids.I'm still getting even...
This scarce kit can be found,but be prepared to pay as it's purely traded as a collectors item today when sealed in the cellophane,and if opened it's usually sought after for it's individual parts.You can pay 100's of dollars for the "Drag Team" kit alone.I would love to see this kit reissued now,as I don't think it ever was in the past & that is if this new company that bought AMT still has the tooling.
The Box art alone is was really eye catching to anyone who grew up in that era.
