    missing my 71 maverick i6 3 on the tree :(
    i doubt it is diecast, all the previous issues are plastic.. i have a few of the older issues and they build decent.. could make a sweet build in the write hands.. wish they would quit pushing back the release date

    Looks just like the Johan kit, the last re-issue was, so I would think this one will be the same. I have a few of the orig. kits still with the plastic on them, I just can't open them.....

    hate using plastic but if someone orders one and does the work i will gladly pay. never have been good with the model thing but i am a big collector of di cast. if i have to surrender to plastic on this one so be it
