OK, so here's the rumor, the '31 Model A coupe tooling was damaged in an accident, (or by a disgruntled employee) and the two model A releases are not able to be molded unless a new tool is produced.
Fueling this rumor is the fact that on the Revell on line site the coupe isn't even listed, and the roadster is shown as discontinued.
If ANYONE knows some real substantiated facts could you put them out for the public?
I'd hate to see these kits start being posted on eBay for ridiculous $50-$100 prices because of a rumor. Thanks from worried modelers everywhere.
Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully the repairs will go smoothly. Let's hope that the new forklift operator has a better grasp of how equipment should be handled
I must have been fortunate as I found one of the '30 kits in Canada from Elm City. I also got on a list at Hobby Linc mid-October (they were out of stock) and pre-paid for one. I had that one by last Monday. It pays sometimes just being lucky I guess.
If you have a question about Revell kits ... why not contact Revell directly? Why waste time with rumors? They are a dime a dozen.

I'm not Revell brass (far from it, in fact), but last Friday Revell announced that the 1929 Model A Roadster Kit and 1930 Model A Five Window Coupe kits will return to their lineup, with new kit numbers and ship dates to be announced later this year.

Yaaaay! Keeping space saved for a couple more.
Hello Tim,
Just wondering; have you heard any updates lately on these kits coming back into production? I enjoyed reading about the Beach Racer version you built recently. Thanks!

TR4-Tim Hello Tim, Just wondering; have you heard any updates lately on these kits coming back into production? I enjoyed reading about the Beach Racer version you built recently. Thanks! Tim Hoffman
Hi Tim....glad you enjoyed the Vintage Beach Racer article.
Like you, I would have expected to hear further news on both the '29 Model A Roadster and '30 Model A Coupe kit reissues by now. The Roadster was announced by Revell as a Q4 2017 release, with the SBC in place of the Nailhead, but it has not been placed in production yet to the best of my knowledge.
I think you can still readily find the Roadster kits from its first release (I saw one at The Model Cave in Ypsilanti, MI, a few weeks back - and yes, they do mailorder) but the first release Coupe kits seem to be very hard to find.
Sorry I don't have a more definitive answer to pass along....TIM
