These
MPC kits are all 1/25 scale. The California
Sunshine Datsun would probably be a popular kit today
with the tuner / low rider crowd. The 1980's was just about
ending the "Van" craze of the 1970's, this was
surely one of their last chances at the van kits being sold.
The
Sorcerer Ford Van
would be a good release for the times (at least, the decals
would be.). The Super Duallie truck is interesting. Seems
to be an extra wide set of fenders for the rear, and added
tires. The Rolling Thunder also seems rare, and an interesting
idea.
