Which kit do you wish was made? *opinion thread*

[Before starting the conversation, I would like to notify those of you who get offended by threads like this,that this is just an opinion thread so don't get your panties in a bunch and say that this is a useless thread]

This question has been asked a couple of times, but now we have new members and some of our wish-kits (that's what we'll call tehm ;) ) have been made ( example: Mitsubishi eclipse). So now I ask you veterans and newbies, and everyone in between, ... which 5 kits do you wish were made???

1.Lotus Elise
2.STOCK eclipse gsx
3.Acura CL type-S
4.BMW 330i HP sport
5.Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V

Oh yeah, they should all be made by Tamiya ;)

I AM OFFENDED !!!! hehehe, j/k

I like your list and would like to add the new Mercedes line. I mean all model lines. They are fine cars and would make excellent models. I would like to find one for my car E55 AMG but i haven't had any luck anywhere.

I think the new Grand cherokee would also look awesome in 1/24.

If anyone of you guys know where i can get either of those two above mentioned models please let me know.

Thanks

caddilacs, all of them..

Veilside Supra!

and i wish Walmart carried Tamiya

I wish they would make this :( :(

Soon P-man...soon... ;)

My wish list generally stays the same, since nobody has tackled these cars in plastic yet:

Subaru WRC 2003
Hyundai Accent WRC
Skoda Octavia WRC
Peugeot 206 WRC 2003 - all new mold please
Audi TT DTM
Cusco Subaru Impreza JGTC

A better kit of the Citroen Xsara WRC would be nice too


Oh hell, I could go on for hours here if you let me.......:D

NOOOOOO......:finger: :finger: ..lol

Now that you posted it, the TT would be very nice also :cool: :cool:

Mercedes Benz C43 AMG
Eclispe
new Accord

i wish there was a second gen Ford Probe GT :D also the new GT mustangs

I have a few that I wish were made... and definately by tamiya... BUT, no curbside, I want full engine detail!! :flipa:

1.) new BMW M3
2.) Infiniti G35... Im guessing its coming soon
3.) VEILSIDE CELICA (actually #1 on my wish list, just saw one in person today!!:eek: )
4.) Tamiya honda civic Si coupe (1999 model)
5.) ACura 3.2TL Type S :sun:

Just my 5 cents...

Mazda RX-8
Lotus Elise/Exige (with chioces of Rover, Honda or crummy Toyota motors. ;))
Audi TT (any Audi, really...)
VW Beetle Turbo or Turbo S or RSi, etc....
Infiniti G35 coupe

1 more... the S2000 in Jay's sig. 2,300 lbs (correct me if I'm wrong) and 250hp :devil:

Dayum good list there...just keep the Beetle in the RSi category and I'm with you 100%.

In addition:

Opel Speedster
Ferrari 575 Maranello
Lotus 340R
Aston Martin Vanquish (for chasing pesky Maranellos)
Lamborghini Murcielago

Oettinger A4
Audi S4 by Tamiya
ABT Volkswagon Jetta!! :D
i'll be a happy man if i see anyone of these made

Mazda RX8
Mazda 6 MPS
Some of the newer JGTC cars...
Audi R8 (Le Mans car)

all Tamiya preferably of course :)
(please stop making more rehashed 206 WRCS!!! :o )

Yeah, some of the newer JGTC cars would be very nice. I would like to see an updated Tom's Supra and at least one of the new Skylines. That way we could get aftermarket decals and make the rest.

New rally cars would be awsome, and not just the usual Impreza/Peutgeot/Lancer (except for the newest versions of those...of course), but produce the rest of them.

I would like Tamiya to start doing engines in kits again and mabye surprise with an American car...1967 Shelby GT500, a Roadrunner, heck mabye even a 1969 Mustang Grande` (that way I could build a model of the first car I ever owned).

agreed... kits without engines just aren't right :( Some of those new JGTC cars are pretty crazy decal-wise though....

Also wouldn't mind seeing a Focus RS kit. It probably isn't too hard to convert from one of the rally kits but that would be a waste! BTW anyone heard anything new on that Focus Performance Blue limited edition kit?

Ok heres my wish list :devil:

Mazda RX-8
Mazda6 (Sedan or Hatch)
Honda NSX & TypeR version (2002 model)

Any JGTC car from 2002/2003

Gosh, there are so many, so if I limit this to be just exotic cars, that would be...

Porsche Carrera GT (most likely tamiya)
Mercedes Benz SLR (most likely tamiya)
Pagani Zonda (diecast is due, but...)
Lamborghini Murcielago (diecast is available, but...)

Of course there are many, many cars i'd love to see done but these are what spring to mind right now, in no particular order.

New Honda NSX
2002 JGTC NSX Takata/Mugen
JGTC Re Amemiya RX7
JGTC Skyline V6
Mazda RX8
Nissan GT-R Concept
JGTC GT300 MR-S in all liveries
Skyline Coupe/G35
S15 Silvia convertible - forget the proper name now!
All JGTC GT300 Silvias
Delorean DMC12 to the same level of detail as the Enzo in 1/24 and 1/12:D Made by Tamiya... Man that would be my holy grail:D

ok, ive got a few more

96-97 Accord 4 door, in stock version
The Tiburon
id like to Revell come out with some type of skyline so i could get one at walmart

and i wish some one owuld make the GTR wing, that is on the Veilsdie RX-7 C1 kit, in a seperate package like SAS wings (hint hint, Chris hurry up and make some)

97 and up Honda Prelude
98- 2002 Honda Accord 2 Door

(all made by Tamiya of course, with full engine detail)

E46 BMW M3
S15 Silvia
Maserati Coupé
Any of the Australian V8 Supercars...
Audi TT

Can't think of anything else at the moment

I would like the three black civics that were in the fast in the furious.
The F+F supra by SAS, which will I hope come soon, not to be offending or rushing FOTW.

And an escalade. I don't care if it is stock just leave with after market wheels and I will chop up the suspension and do whatever I want to do.

It exists, search on HLJ.com

The road car version not the racer, and by a mainstream company in plastic. Not as a garage kit. :D

i wish they would make a plastic model version of elenor i know they made the 67 shelby gt-500 but i mean with all the exact same specs as elenor and i wish they would make the 1973 mach 1 mustang from the original gone in sixty seconds too!

I'm bypassing the Rx-8 Model and just getting the real thing. I have my order in for a titanium grey metallic 6-speed spot package. Can't wait! :D

Are'nt you getting an EVO VII ???


I would probably build the RX-8 kit if it was by Tamiya, just to put it next to my future kits... 350Z/S2000/Supra

Low volume production. Studio 27, Modeler's, B-club, volk, all those guys are "garage kit" makers. As in they started making these kits in their garage (sometimes literally). As such they usually produce a batch and seldom if ever re-issue that model once the initial run is done. Typically they are made from Resin, PE, and other materials but seldom injection molded plastic.
