Showcase vehicles back in production

I just hope the MOW truck makes the cut, as well as the topkicks....

I am pretty sure the KW and Pete trucks will make it back. I'm not as sure about the Topkick. They will be doing new MofW trucks I think

I hope they do the Ford F800. The photos of the  Loadstar looks good.       Rich

Carter,  I  belong to the group and they look great.  Went do you think they will be available ?       Rich

Rich,

According to the information Joe has posted, I would start looking for them in early 2013. 

I don't know if Walter will go through a distributer or not. 

A lot remains to be seen.

I would love to get my hands on the retired molds. Just to keep them alive and in production for other modelers looking something different. I bet they would cast well using resin in a pressure pot.

The IHCs look good. but the wheelbase on that flatbed is way to short.Not that it would stop me from buying a couple of each though.

Would anyone be interested in a group buy of 60's and 70's sedand or wagons? I'm thinking if he has enough garenteed sales, he might be more willing to try something new. We did this on decal orders in the past.

If the leaning is towards 60s, I would be interested.

As for the pic of the Loadstar.  The white cab definitely looks hollow-cast, but the red one presents as solid cast.  Which is it?

It's likely that they are spincast in vulcanized rubber molds.  Different technique than you're thinking of.

60's? Definately. the 70's is a bit too modern for me. But if it would help get the ball rolling in that direction... count me in.

Bryan,

All of Showcase's previous releases have featured hollow interiors, and I don't expect that would change.

I downloaded the photos Joe posted so I could enlarge them.  Both the white and red cabs on the Loadstars are hollow.  You can see the dashboard and seat in the red one.

Great!  I didn't expect change either, but one never can tell, and I couldn't from that photo as it was.
