Re: BMW Models?

Personally, I am totally bored and even annoyed with the Japanese tuning scene. While a mildly customized WRX STi or Evo 8 is a pretty cool car (and one I would buy a model of, which is an easy task), I will probably never buy a model Nissan 350Z, Skyline (there goes a million kits), AE86, any Toyota for that matter, Silvia, NSX, or any Honda. I just don't care--I see them all day, every day no matter where I go in real life, and I'm sick of them.

I would actually own a Honda or Toyota in real life because they are durable, well-built, and economic, but I don't build model kits of cars that I can readily attain for real. Like others, I would love to see more Bimmers, and would buy a huge stack of kits if they were produced. I'm actually very tired of seeing Ferraris; they're so common in kit form that they are boring. Lamborghinis are OK, and Porsches are cool, but BMWs and Audis would be at the top of my building list if they were being produced.

I would sooner build a mundane, 5-series luxury sedan than a wildly pumped up NSX race car. I consider BMW's and Audi's to be the best cars available for a reasonable price, and that translates to a desire to build them. As was mentioned, this thread won't reach the eyes of any model manufacturers, but Tamiya, Fujimi, and Revell will not get any of my business in the area of Japanese cars. I just don't care about them.

Oh, and if kits of the Focus ZX4 begin to hit the shelves I will buy one just to stomp on it and light it on fire. I guess that was a little harsh but WHO WANTS TO BUILD A FOCUS?? (I'm not talking rally version here)

Re: BMW Models?

What are you guys moaning about?!!? There are already a zillion BMW kits available!

The decided shortage of Aston Martin kits, now that's something to bitch about

Atleast they make AM kits. I want to see at least one Panoz kit.
