Re-issue Wishlist

[Amaurosis Fugax]

This may have been asked before, but what kits do you wish would be re-released?
The reason I ask is that last year when the Tamiya McLaren M-8 was re-released it got me by suprise. I didn't even know they had made it in the past!
So what other kits are no longer made, that you wish would come back?

My area of interest is Motor Sport.

From Tamiya:

Racing Ford Sierras
Escort RS Rally cars (all of 'em)
1/12 Ferrari F190

Hasegawa:

All the Group C cars (including the Mazda 767b)

Just my $0.02...

Seeing how the Tamiya NSX-R is getting reissued, that is already half of my wish came true.

Otherwise, the Tamiya Grand Cherokee would be another good kit to reissue, so that I can get a replacement for my broken windshield.

I think I'm lucky in that a lot of what I wanted have actually been re-issued or re-mastered by someone else.
The only thing that is really missing in my collection is a Hasegawa 944s (not the turbo) and 968 (and Clubsport).
ESCI's (or whoever originated it) BMW M1 road car would be nice too.

Hi guys,

Here are a couple still on my wish list. I know the Dax(high on my wish list) and the Yardley Mclaren are re-released soon, but would love to see the Lotus 49 and 72D to be re-released. Also a re-release of the Revell Ford Escort rally would be great too.

[ZoomZoomMX-5]

Tamiya Long Beach Grand Prix Toyota Supra.

Revell Corrado.

Cox Cheetah.

I would love to see the Tamiya BTCC Volvo wagon and sedan back.

Wouldn't mind the racing Sierra's too, so I could build some of the Australian Touring car versions again.

Tamiya 1/12 Lotus 72 and Ferrari 312B re-issue with P/E and cartograf Decals would be a must have too.

Regards, Dan

Since it's a wish list, how about Protar's Alpha Romeo 179 and McLaren Mp 4/2 in 1/12.

Hasegawa didn't make the S, but it's two different package designs of the same Turbo, Turbo racing and cabriolet molds. Italeri did release the S, but IIRC, it only includes 8 valve head parts, instead of the 16v in the real S and S2, so I don't think the kit is worth the money. Hasegawa's 968 kit has 16v parts even though it's a modified reissue of the 944 kit.

My wish list is going to become zero thanks to the reissue of the SLR Uhlenhaut kit, but I'm interested in Tamiya's D-Type slot car and body, and also Corrado is tempting...

Snap.... With the exception of the F190 (got enough already) that's my exact list...

sorry for the brief hi-jack.

so you mean that if I wanted to have a correct 944S, I'd need the hardly ever seen 968 kit as well as the 944 kit?
i.e the 944S kit is sorta useless without the 968.
great...

Tamiya's campus friends figure set, and from Fujimi a New Mini with the sunroof, LHD and JCW package please, that would be the "Italian Job, Stella Bridger New Mini".
Some of the Revell 'tuner' series cars, some of the AMT/MPC 80's Chevy PU kits, there's bound to be some more.
