Can you imagine an F1 team doing something like this.... ???

Re: Models you wish were made

A decent MKI & MKII Ford Escort (Narton MKI no chance, Esci one excused).

Vauxhall Chevette HSR tarmac (McRae, Arikkila, Kaby etc).

A decent Opel Ascona & Manta 400 (again to Hasegawa, Tamiya standard).

If Tamiya have given up with modern day rally cars, it would be real nice for them to release some retro ones. They could convert the Sierra's to a rally version with minimal rework. Do Tamiya ever listen to what builders would really like?

1997 Land Rover Discovery I

Defender 90

1996 Dodge Viper GTS- 1/24 scale

1997- Mazda 929

Re: Models you wish were made

Hey guys, out of curiosity, why aren't there more modern Land Rover kits out there? Im a LR fanatic but they have such unique designs I just know that a kit company would make a ton of money off of them. Does LR not typically give permission or something?

Chelsea Tractors aren't exactly race bred or in the Supercar bracket so I fail to see how there would be a demand for them. As the main model manufacturers are in Japan, the new models or road cars are predominately Japanese or Ferrari type supercars.

A Bowler Dakar LR derivative race car however would be great kit to build.
