What Kits Do You Want Reissued?

[Layla's Keeper]

Recently, AMT (under their Racing Champions management) has gone reissue happy, producing new releases of old kits with alarming regularity and usually not even checking to see how far gone the tooling is (look at the incomplete and flash riddled parts in AMT's reissue of the MPC 1967 GTO). Revell, has reinvigorated their SSP program, and many kits are getting their second go-around in the SSP series (like the Miss Deal). Even Tamiya has gotten in on the reissue act, giving us new releases of their old Porsche 935 and BMW 320i.

So, what kits, (provided the manufacturer is still around), would you like to see brought back? I'll give my list after a few posts.

D'oh! First thing that came to mind was the 1/12 Rosso NSX kits... No chance of flooding that market anytime soon.

While Tamiya's 24126 Honda NSX-R and 24101 Acura NSX (identical to Honda NSX) are both OOP, their regular 24100 Honda NSX is still in production, IIRC.

Tamiya S14? If you mean S13, it's still in production, too.

Would like to see Tamiya do the same mass reissue program they did about 5 years ago. In particular would like to see their Nissan 180sx and Mazda FC RX7.

[Zcaithaca]

Monogram RX7

[Vladamor]

Cool. My models:
- Tamiya's NSX-R
- Tamiya's 180 SX
- Tamiya's Nissan 240 SX
- Fujimi's S15 GARAGE DEFEND
- Fujimi's S15 GARAGE MAK 99 (Actually reissued, cooollllllllllll)

[willimo]

If anyone wants the Monogram RX-7 PM me, there is one at my LHS that has been there forever.

As far as reissues, the only thing I can think of is the McLaren F1 car that Tamiya had out for a while a few years ago. I'm pretty much satisfied with my model selection at the moment. But I guess I am just not in the buying mood.
