GerN Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 For reissues, I'd like the foreign cars done by U.S. companies, primarily the Aurora series which included the Maserati 3500 GT, and also the MPC Fiero, Revell Porsche 928, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aurora and Airfix kits are ok, but both have flaws and proportional issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'd like to see more Maseratis, but the Aurora Maserati and Aston Martin will do nicely in the meantime. However there are far better E-type and GTO kits out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Last year rumors were floating around that Revell was doing a new-mold Aston Martin DB-5, for release in Sept. 2017. It apparently died due to licensing issues. Link below to the discussion about it on Britmodeler. Besides the Unobtainium Airfix and Aurora Bond cars, back in the 1990s Doyusha did a DB-5 in regular and James Bond versions. The 007 kit had the tire slashers, rotating license plates, trunk bulletproof shield, machine guns etc. It also came with 2 figures, Bond & Oddjob. Plus the famous briefcase and AR-7 sniper rifle. It was a simplified curbside kit with no engine, but people who have built it seem to like it. The Doyusha DB-5 was re-issued by...of all people...Airfix! Why not reissue your own 007 DB-5, guys? (Because the molds no longer exist, probably.) https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235014575-new-124-db5-from-revell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiego Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 MPC's 1/8 scale Drag Bikes. I think there was a Harley, a Triumph and a Kawasaki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peavus Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Harley knucklehead drag bike in 1/8th or the 1/25th Harley parts pack would even be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Smith Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I would love to see a re issue of the Revell Jungle Jim Funny Car in 1/16 I remember doing this kit as a kid in the 70s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It would also be nice to see Aurora's Porsche 904 back on the shelves, especially with the improvements Monogram made to the kit. A reissue of Revell's Porsche 928 would certainly benefit from sort of decal that would duplicate the funky op art upholstery of the original.

Jordan White Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I've said it before, but I would love for Round 2 to reissue a bunch of the AMT/Ertl era kits of 90's cars and trucks, especially the Chevy C1500 and Ford F150 3n1 kits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlymouthFan Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I’d pay to see the 68/69 Coronets re popped as original as possible or with super bee possibilities but the chance of that’s as good as Johan coming back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'd like to see the Monogram/Revell 1/8 scale motorcycles ALL reissued. BUT we know that's NEVER likely to happen. Even if all the molds still exist and are in usable condition.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 And I'm sure the return of AMT's 32 Ford Coupe and roadster would be welcome by many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 They've been pretty good at bringing them out, but I would like to see MPC's Vega and Pinto hatchback, their 78 Camaro, really any of MPC's old annuals. AMT's Ford Courier in stock form. Any and all of Monogram's 70s curbside exotics, the 911, 924, 240z, and all the rest, preferably with the optional edition parts all included in one box. The James Bond Aston Martin would be nice and I wonder if the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang tooling still exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 2004 IIRC, Revell reissued the original Triumph Tiger 100 and the Honda CB72. I was hoping that mean Triumph Drag Bike would be next, and maybe the Honda Scrambler. But the reissues seemed to stop with those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 - MPC : - Chevette annuals - Vega / Monza (with the Pro Stock chassis --- no moulded-on exhaust !) - Mustang II - 1978 Chevy Pickup ( obviously backdated --- but would be okay with the GMC livery , but with the two-wheel-drive parts from the '78 annual added back in) - 1977-78 Monaco Police Car (with normal-sized wheels and tyres !!) - E150 Van - 1973-1978 Camaro AMT : - Courier (with stock parts) - "Star Truk" [sic] - Subaru BRAT - 1970-1973 Camaro SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Modelhaus is gone and everyone has nothin'. not entirely true. builders pop up for sale fairly regularly. And USUALLY sell for similar money to the Modelhaus resin kit. I have a really clean builtup and dont have anywhere near invested in it the Modelhaus kit was ( just bought it last summer off Ebay .) Actually I have 1 - 1968 Coronet hardtop. 3 - 1968 RT convertibles 1- each of the 1969 Coronet in hardtop and convertible versions All but one of the 68 convertibles were bought in the last year or so and none were over $100 ea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a couple places that offer resin kits I’d love for a plastic kit because I don’t know to much about resin but I can settle with what I got for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
