Default Centuri Tomahawk Cruise Missile-Never Produced-Why?

In the Centuri 1981 catalog which came out in early Spring of 1981, a Magnum-D version of the General Dynamics cruise missile was advertised. Was gonna be a BT-70 bird, which would have made a pretty nice kit, all-in-all. I think this was a Bill Stine baby, if my memory serves.

However, the kit never made it to market and I have never heard or understood why. Does anyone know any further details behind this kit and why it was never released? I do know in later years Quest released a kit of this vehicle, but it was much smaller, maybe around 1.3" in diameter or so.

If you have any info on the proposed Centuri offering, please fill us in!
