Casey Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Which kit(s) or tooling would you like to see modified to produce another variant(s)? For example, a '71 Dodge Demon based on the AMT '71 Plymouth Duster 340 kit, or a '56 Chevy Nomad based on the Revell Tri-Five tooling. Have at it.

Nick Notarangelo Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 maybe some of the older pickup trucks kits with some refreshed tooling and not just rims either,like the old days with lots of custom parts and or as service trucks ie say like the 72chevy with some racing,camping,work truck gear.

highway Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) I've always been a Trans Am fan, but many of the earlier models have only been issued by MPC/AMT, and those are junk in my personal opinion. I'd like to see Revell modify the 1968 Firebird into the 69 Trans Am, the 1970 1/2 T/A into a 74 to 76 model, and also the 78 into a 79 to 81 version. I know that most all these years were offered by MPC, but like I said, those are junk in my opinion compared to the Revell offerings. If I remember, Monogram made a 79, but was a custom, I want a bone stock version and not based off a snap kit either. EDIT:Oh, and a new Type K Sportwagon would be nice, too!

Guest Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 '68-69 Chevelle based on the Revell '72 Olds chassis '67-68 Skylark based on the same '04-'08 F150 based on the Revell Harley Davidson and no, I would not care if the chassis and drivetrain wouldn't be "absolutely correct" '72-'73 Ventura based on the Revell '69 Nova '66 Bel Air or Biscayne based on the Revell '66 Impala '64 Fairlane,a truly stock Fairlane, from the Revell T-Bolt '67 Fairlane from the AMT '66 Fairlane That would keep me busy for a good while.

Longbox55 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 AMT '55-'57 Chevy Pickup with a correct cab, interior, and frame, and a 235 inline 6. And if they made it a 3200/3600, that would be perfect. Also, any variant of the Tri-5 Chevies from Revells new tool kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Monogram did an 80/1 Turbo T/A as a 1/24 full glue kit. Red car on the box. I had one of those. As I recall, it wasn't too bad of a kit. Maybe it'll get reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm probably the only one who wants this so I could easily replicate my own car. I agree with Chuck for wanting a closed cab 30/31 A pick up based on the revell sedan/woody A stock 40 Ford pick'up & a proper stock 38 Ford pick-up with correct cab 29/29 tudor and coupe from the AMT/MPC wagon/p'up kit.

highway Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Monogram did an 80/1 Turbo T/A as a 1/24 full glue kit. Red car on the box. I was aware of the turbo, if I remember it was a very similar mold to the 78, correct? I would like to still see a non turbo version with the shaker hood like the MPC 10th Anniversary T/A nightmare.

Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I love these threads. While everyone wishes that Revell or AMT would do all these modified reissues, I just sit here and smile. Because these lists look a lot like my collection of kits, builts and resins. 1967 GTO, 1968-69 Coronet, 1970 Charger, 1970 Cyclone, 1970 Trans Am...got 'em. 1966 Skylark, 1971 Demon, 1972 Dodge Charger, 1968 Chevelle...got them too. 1968 GTO, AMT Matador X, 1970 442 HT, 1974 Trans Am, 1972 Ventura...check. While every one wishes and hopes, I can build these whenever the mood strikes. If I want more details I'll bash them with newer kits but most likely I'll build them all in their full metal axle glory. Most of these are builders, some are mint kits and a few are resin. While you guys sit and wait and ponder the what ifs, I'll be building mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moparfarmer Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Only one comes to mind at this time: 1964 JoHan Plymouth Fury convertible/hardtop......Repop as a Fury(not sport Fury) separated interior pieces with separate underhood tin. Use the same body with excellent engraving it has. Steel wheels and same engine only without the holes for the axles.You could also maybe make a 65 Satellite out of the tooling too. Sure would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Oh, oh, oh!!!! How about the MPC Dodge van reissued with the CORRECT GRILLE!!!! Even better the MPC '77 as 109" wheelbase shorty with side cargo doors. I agree and would like to see the same of the GM f/s vans too. The body molds of the GM van need some restoration around the drip molds, but I'd love to see newer interiors, maybe the Chevy and GMC grills with both single and dual headlights.
