Re: What, what, what, whatcha want?!

An Aston Martin DB5 would be great as well... Yeah, I know there's a Doyusha version, but it's just too hard to obtain.

Porsche 997 GT3RS in 1/24 scale. Something affordable like in the Tamiya price range.

Re: What, what, what, whatcha want?!

Would really like to see more classic / vintage European stuff but if I had to be specific, I'd ask for a Volvo Amazon or P1800 coupe

Also given my luck, someone will release a 1:24 full detail Frogeye Sprite and / or later Spridget just after I've finished building my ones.....

Revell answered this request in recent years. You can buy a 1968 Charger either as the Dick Landy issue all-plastic kit, which to build stock would require a wheel swap and factory exhaust manifolds/air cleaner.

Also, there's the diecast body Bullitt edition 1968 Charger, which is a 440 car, but that's easy to rectify out of any well-stocked parts box.


Thanks to Freakmech for requesting my Layla, since Bob has put a restraining order on me asking for a recast of his MGB GT transkit and the Finecast metal kit is JUNK.

As for my requested car kit, I want one of two sports racing Ferraris in plastic - either a 512M or a 333SP.

How about doing a scratch built roof conversion on the Aoshima / Revell / Airfix 1:24 roadster? Not an MGB fan so won't be attempting it myself but it doesn't look too difficult

Re: What, what, what, whatcha want?!

Well, Bob (Zoom-Zoom) did such a conversion and it was released as a transkit via the great but defunct All American Models lineup. He's said that he's sent the master to another guy for recasting, but that it's still an ongoing project.

As the owner of one of those Pininfarina roofs on the Abingdon body, I can tell you that there are a lot of complex curves that'd be a pain to scratchbuild. In particular, the hatchback is a sort of concave curve with a sharp edge that butts into the roof proper.

Re: What, what, what, whatcha want?!

Mine is a 1970 with wire wheels and no electric overdrive (thank God). Her nickname is "Layla" because that song was on the radio at the time when I electrocuted myself wrenching on her.

And, of course, the reason my handle is "Layla's Keeper."
