Timonator Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 7 hours ago, tim boyd said: In my recent book, I have a section at the end of each chapter called "Missing in Action". This includes both muscle cars that have never been kitted in 1/24th-1/25th scales, and muscle cars that need a newly tooled kit (due to past kits being poorly rendered, permanently out of production, or otherwise unavailable at any where near reasonable prices to today's collectors and builders). Chapter 4 covers Pontiac, Olds, and Buick muscle era car kits. Don't have a picture handy, but below is a copy of the text of the "Missing in Action" box at the end of that chapter:. The 1967 GS-400 discussed in this thread is, of course, one of the "MIA kits in the list below. MISSING IN ACTION A> GTO/442/Gran Sport kits yet to appear in any 1/24th-1/25th scale kit * 1970 & 1971 GTO Judge Hardtop and Convertible (1970 with optional RA-IV engine, 1971 with the 455 HO engine) * 1971 GT-37 w/400 4-bbl * 1973 GTO or GrandAm Coupe with (for extra credit) the planned – but not produced – 455 Super Duty engine ***** * 1964 & 1965 442 * 1968-1970 F85/Cutlass with W-31 package * 1970 Olds Rallye 350 ****** * 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1971 & 1972 Gran Sport, including 1969-1972 Stage 1 * 1967 GS-340, 1968-1970 GS-350 B> GTO/442/Gran Sport kits that need a new/modern kit offering * 1965, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1971, and 1972 GTO (1970 to include RA-IV engine; 1971 to include 455 HO engine) * 1968 442 Hardtop and Convertible * 1970-1971 442 Hardtop and Convertible with W-30 package Also....FWIW I hear that there may be at least one kit released next year that falls within the 1964-1972 GM A-Body BOP category....hope it actually materializes! TIM Are you referring to the 68 Chevelle or is there something more interesting possibly in the works ? BTW, great book. I read it cover to cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the old AMT 66 GS model build up and the craftsman but both were damaged in the 2011 tornado we had here a long with the rest of them from my dads old collection sadly....both need parts I ether cant find or afford.

Nice Buick. I agree with the hood scoop needing some finessing. Seems a bit chunky and large. This Buick body design was all about a svelte streamlined look, unlike the 70 and later versions. The character lines in the trunk could use a bit of finessing to bring the lines a bit longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered a '65 4-4-2 in resin from MCW and will post pics and a report when I get it. Great minds think alike - I had this one from '83-'86: I soon after got the correct spinner wheel covers for it (which later got stolen ). I think an AMT '64 Cutlass would be a good start for a scratchbuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can modify it to get what I want and then 3d print it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartman Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 A little late but I always add the 1969 GS when those "lists" come up.I had a 1969 gs 400 with a 430 and some mods also a 1969 sport wagon about the same time.These were two of my favorite cars.

my66s55 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Yes, I can print as many as I want. Only the convertible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
