Alfa Romeo , Talbot Lago , Figioni as some examples. ESPECIALLY this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being from the prairies of Canada we see few European cars on the road and even fewer models of European cas in our LHS so excuse me if I name a few cars that have already done in kit form.Funny thing, growing up in British Columbia in the sixties and seventies, I remember British sedans were pretty common, especially Fords and Vauxhalls. I think nearly all of them have rusted back into the soil by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SfanGoch Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I know it's not European, but I for 1 would like to see a '64-'70 Toyota Corona. Highly popular in Japan and here in the States. Surprised none of the Japanese companies haven't jumped on it yet.... Actually, Crown Models of Japan issued this 1964 Toyota Corona Mark II 1900 SL Kit Nr. 122 in glorious 1/31 scale with wind-up motor, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty85 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Ford Sierra has been issued by Tamiya. I knew about those, but it'd be nice to be able to get a street version of the RS500 without having to bash together two expensive hard to find kits.

Hoping for a third version doesn't seem realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lysleder Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 In addition to some of the ones mentioned above, I also would like a Lada VFTS This one. I believe it is a Saoutchik Talbot-Lago that could be made by modifying the Heller kit. And who wouldn't want an NSU Prinz 1000 TT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cole Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I wish they would tool up a Delahaye but they would insist it also get shared as a police car, a tuner, and three different engine choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 if Estern Europe cars would count, I would want all VAZ and GAZ models. In special the VAZ-2104, the GAZ M21 Volga, GAZ M2424 Volga (KGB Interceptor) and a GAZ Pobeda. Western European cars, well, I keep my former answer. None.
