I think if Tamiya's gonna grant our wish... mine would be the last one since I'm like the only one here who likes Toyota Tacoma...

*sigh*

I've liked the tacoma since I saw one pass by me makin a blow-off valve sound.

I like the nissan pickup better than the toyota but the toyota still kicks ass, my friend has a datsun pickup truck with 1,200,534 miles, I don't know what the last 3 number are, but the begining 4 numbers are right.

DAMN i think that might be a new record, but is that on the engine of just the body itself?

I wish the new M5 would be made by Tamiya, also a Mercedes Maybach 62

A guy in a volvo did more than 2 million miles, so, it's not a record

My wish list for Revell, Tamiya, AMT or ANY decent manufacturer;

99-03 Jetta/Bora (my daily driver!)
71-73 Olds Cutlass Supreme convertable
A "state-of-the-art" 70-73 Firebird kit (Monograms 1992 release had horrifically bad body lines and proportions)
A "state-of-the-art" 78-81 Camaro kit (Monograms 1982 release has worn out it's welcome, and it's molds!)
A current M3 & M5 with some optional parts
A 74 Dodge Charger (easy one for AMT, convert the 71!)
A "pro-touring" parts kit - Recaro seats, Wheels, 350's with FI, 6-speed trannies, independant rear-end assemblies, steering wheels, Auto Meter Gauges - JUST PARTS! (I'm tired of making my own!!)

**Honda Prelude 5th gen** (my car! )
Aston Martin Vanquish
new NSX or preferably new NSX-R
Porsche 911 GT2
Porsche Carrera GT
Lexus SC430
Mercedes-Benz SLR
Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG
BMW M3

Honestly I don't know why Tamiya doesn't make any of the last 8 cars on that list. They would sell TONS of those kits...

Hey Eric,

Keep your fingers crossed that Hasegawa will produce a Lancia Delta S4 in the not too distant future. In the last two years they have already molded the Lancia 037 and Stratos, rally versions of course. Hopefully a pattern is emerging and they will follow with an S4.

Thanks Phil,

I already heard some Hasegawa S4 rumours and send
a suggestion to Hasegawa (there's a 'questionnaire' on their site at http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/e-w/E-hpank.htm ) to do one some time ago.
But the S4 stays on my list until I have a pair of the kits on my shelf

-- Eric.

i want an s4. i've said it over and over again. i also want a tercel, but i'm pretty sure i'm the only one that wants a tercel.

LICENSING!!
Chrysler started a very bad trend in 1994, asking big money from "toy" manufacturers who wanted to make replicas of their copyrighted designs. Many of the pinhead MBA types working in the other car companies thought this was a great idea and followed suit. Instead of creating recognition and brand-loyalty with kids they decided to follow yet another extension of greed.
This may or may not be the case with these cars, I don't know. It may be a combination of this plus and unwillingness to turn "toy" designers loose with certain engineering information.
Notice I only have 6 Chrysler cars in my 300 car collection, all bought prior to 1994!!

Gotta be the MG XPower SV, 965!!!! horses from an MG?? What's that all about??

[tony350ss]

i think my sig says it all, first generation 2 door s10 BLAZER!! all american models has made a shitty resin body to go over a s10 truck, and you cant get them for under 30 bucks. add supplies and a s10 truck for the other parts you need, and you end up spending 50 or more for the damn thing.



i would also like to see someone come out with a 1/25 kit of just popular v8s trannies and differentials. the engines should have a selection of different valve covers, intake/carb combos and belt setups. not all of us like our vehicles with the stock engines!! i have to buy a whole different kit just for the engine i want (the 72 nova ss350 "old pro" kit form amt/ertl) i have no clue if that kit will come with the tranny i want tho. you cant really tell which tranny it is till you open the box not to mention, i still have to find a car with a ford 9" rear. man i am gonna be spending way to much money on this model when it is all said and done.

Tony350ss, about your sig, hondas can't do that cuz thy're front-wheel-drive :finger:

If you're talkin Japanese cars in general, supras, 300zx's, and rx7's can do a wheelie :finger:

Nice sig
