Probably when hell freezes over.

Lol, think your right. Wish somebody would make some good Brit stuff, even in resin would be good.

I had a few mk1 Grannys, 3.0 coupe, 3.0 GL Saloon & 3.0 S Saloon. Planned a 5.0 for the coupe but sold it & bought the 3.0 S. Still regret selling the Signal yellow 3.0 S now, but had to go so I could buy my 57 Chevy

Couple of resin mk1 Escorts are out there, was a mk2 RS2000 but mould broke :( so no longer being made, mk2 Zodiac ect

I know my first one is available as resin, but I would prefer it in Plastic. The rest should all come with optional custom or race parts depending on the kit:

1) 1970 Dodge Charger R/T (440 Six Pack & 426 Hemi Engine, no molded vinyl roof, and correct 1970 features. The AMT kit is a joke!)

2) 1970 Dodge Coronet Wagon (with optional Super Bee parts & decals)

3) 1070-71 Dodge Dart Swinger (why has this never been made !?! Along with a reissue of the 1971 Dodge Demon, please!)

4) 2013 Dodge Dart R/T

5) 2010 Ford Taurus SHO (the diecast leaves a lot to be desired. Let this come as a stock version and a police version to compete with Lindberg's Charger kits)

and since I can't choose just 5 LOL:

6) 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 (with optional R/T parts. Should use the tooling to also make a version of the 2012 Charger PPV)

7) '97-'02 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP coupe (no coupe for '03)

8) 2013 Ford Focus ST

9) Pontiac G8 GXP

10) '96-'99 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi (love the '90s daily driver sport sedans)

11) 2000-2002 Chevy Cavalier Z24 (I know that Fujimi made a '95-'99 Toyota Cavalier 2.4Z, but the '00-'02s have a revised front end & different Z24 wheels. Only want it to replicate a former daily driver, but of course it will never be made as a full detail kit. There's a drag body but it would need a lot of TLC to make into a stock version :( )

1) 1935/36 Auburn 851 Speedster. One of the most beautiful cars ever built and all we have is the old Pyro/Lindberg tooling, one of the worst ever.

2) 1975-77 Chrysler Cordoba. OK, this one is personal, I had one, my best friend has one, my grandparents had one.

3) 1960\61 Chrysler 300 F/G. The last cars with fins that looked good.

4) 1968 Barracuda. Make 1 version as a 340 Formula S and 1 as a S/S Hemi

5) 1956 Lincoln Continentel Mark II. One of the cleanest designs of the 50's, luxury without the usual 50's excess (except size).

T/W???

I believe he is referring to Tires/Wheels.

My five are mostly already posted here but what the heck:

1. 66-77 Ford Bronco

2. New,late model pickup (Ford/Dodge/GM , not too picky just something new!)

3. 67-72 Ford F series Pickup

4. 67-72 GM Pickup ( a new tool is desperately needed!)

5. 67-68 Camaro (see #4 above)

Considering that most of the above exists in plastic or resin form I doubt that I will get my dreams fulfilled but one can hope, right?

Unfortunately, those resins are of debatable quality.

Why the Anglo/Germanic Fords have never been rendered as model kits is beyond me. That no Escort I and II, Capri I, Taunus/Cortina and Granada I and II (I had 14 (fourteen) of the latter) exist, is a phenomenon, that will never cease to amaze me.

You could say the same about Opel/Vauxhall. Firenza, Manta I and II, Victor/Ascona, Rekord/Carlton, Commodore/Royale/Ventora, Cresta/Viscount and KAD (Kapitän/Admiral/Diplomat).

All those cars are extremely popular on both sides of the channel and they could be kitted with LHD and RHD dashboards.

I don't even want to know what the market would be for BMC cars. Austin/Morris/MG/Vanden Plas 1100, Landcrab, small and big Farinas (Police Wolseley 6/110 anyone?), Rover P4/5/6, SD1, Trummy 2000/2500/Stag, Dolly Sprint.

Instead, the Revell AG is looking at the Tamiya catalogue to find inspiration for what to tool up next and Airfix only caters to people who think the war didn't last long enough.

That 'somewhere' is exactly the point. I am looking for this conversion for years. Do you by any chance know who makes it?

For the trailer I will modify the Testors tanker, looks easy enough.
