Re: Models you wish were made
Porsche 904 in 1/24 with good engineering and detail. The Monogram is an old slot car kit, and the Revell has poor engineering.
Porsche 550 in 1/24 or 1/12. The Jimmy Flintstone transkit is meh at best. Also, I'd love to see Scale Production bring back the Cayman Interseries transkit... |

Re: Models you wish were made
I miss the 90s, when pretty much everything on four wheels came out in plastic.
Where is our 2006 Civic Type R? With the Mugen RR kit to follow soon after? Where is the Toyota FJ Cruiser? I wouldn't mind a modern Tahoe or whatever it they make the police SUVs out of. The new New Beetle from VW would make great kit, especially with those retro wheels. How cool would it be if there were scores of 18" and 19" injection molded wheels coming out, like there were as recently as 5 years ago? Rotiform, Fifteen52 wheels.... Why don't the manufacturers repop old kits anymore? I would love to get my hands on piles EG and EK Civics and the Tamiya Golf and the Revell BMW M Coupe. Who cares if they make 3 versions of the McLaren (though, trust me, I was really excited about ONE version) or this or that who-cares-about-Ferrari-anymore kit. Where is the fun stuff? The stuff to get you excited about building something neat and interesting and being able to put your own personal stamp on it? Oh, and an Aston Martin V12 Zagato would be great. The One-77 came out in resin, why did the infinitely more beautiful Zagato get neglected? Let's get the fun back into the hobby. No wonder they don't sell kits when it's an expensive kit* besotted with expensive detail parts of unattainable cars. *We car modelers have it easy. Have you SEEN the prices of aircraft kits? And their detail sets, of which they usually need more of per build? Those guys are getting raked over the coals!

Re: Models you wish were made
Almost anything as long as it isn't another bl==dy BORING Porsche!!!!
I'm SICK of seeing 'new' kits of the grotty 911 and all it's variants!!!!!!! They're all the flippin' SAME!!!! The most tedious, boring, uninteresting, drab pile of metal ever created!!!!! Now I will get shot down in flames. Oh, B.T.W.... I owned a Carrera for around 8 months, long, long ago. A total pile of CR4P! Drab, uninteresting, uninvolving, and actually, pretty SLOW! Embarrassing when I was blown away by a Lotus Esprit! My choice???? A good BIG kit of the Jaguar C or D Type..... Roy. |

All 4 Japanese manufacturers are busy repopping their more popular car kits in the last year or so. Even Tamiya did a run of their 80's and 90's classics, some of them we haven't seen in over 10 years. Quote:

Re: Models you wish were made
The new Porsche 918 would be nice if tamiya would make it! Any rear engined and air cooled Volkswagen other than the bug and bus would be nice too!
After going thru this list again, I see that as modelers, we are a pretty diverse bunch. From choice of subject matter, to choice of manufacturers. Now... Just a thought... What if ... You took the top ten scratch builders from AF, gave them all the toys they need like scanners, cnc 5 axis machines, cnc lathes and mills, etc., and you ask them to manufacture a kit, what would it be? A race car? Street? I'm pretty sure it would be multimedia. How detailed would it be oob? What scale? maybe this should be a new thread? Of course I'd like to be present when they deliberate on which car it would be!
