It's coming soon!!!
Atlantis is reissuing the Tom Daniel Monogram kit,the "Rattler" !!! The original Monogram "Horn Toad" was reissued and renamed "Rattler".
Atlantis is going to call it the "Sidewinder". It's coming soon according to the most recent newsletter that I and several people recently received from Atlantis Models!!Here is a link to what the boxart will look like:So,I have a built Rattler that is missing a side running board/fender part.It was also missing the rear wheels and tires.I paid FIVE Dollars for the bagged built Rattler shown in this thread.I had extra Rattler rear wheels and tires that I scored from another Indy Rattler/Horntoad builder lot from a different swap meet.I can't remember how much I spent,but I know I paid less than $20 for the Horn toad/Rattler builder lot.I hope to restore it when the "Sidewinder" comes out!!! Here are a couple of pix of my builder Rattler:Can't wait for the "Sidewinder" kit to come out!!!!! Ya gotta love Atlantis Models for finding these old plastic model tools and reissuing some kits we never even had known still "existed" and that we thought would never see the light of day again!

I cant understand why Monogram never reissued this kit, especially after the trouble they went to to retool other kits to bring them back , and this one apparently was just sitting around. I'll be buying this reissue, even though I still have my survivor Rattler I built as a kid - We really need to support Atlantis so they will bring out more kits ! The only complete build that survived in one piece

Very Cool, Todd and Don. Yes I will be getting one of these for sure. I don't have any version of this at all, in my collection.
I have been supporting Atlantis as much as I can. They have been filling so many gaps in my collection.
A quick side story, I don't know who you guys buy the most of your Atlantis from? But I recently bought some Atlantis stuff and some TD 1/32 FCs from frodomolpus on ebay. I ordered 2 of the Fiend FCs, when I got them there were the Duster bodies instead of the Chargers. I contacted him, I offered to return them, he said to keep them, and instantly mailed me 2 more (correct) Fiends. So I ended up with 2 parts cars that I desperately needed. Pretty Cool of him.
Jim

Jim Now thats a great guy to deal with ! I was hoping Atlantis would have come up with the original decals for these kits , I have all but the Gremlin funny , but my Fiend Charger and Whiplash Camaro desperately need new decals . I'm always looking for some to pop up on Ebay, but no luck
