With that comment I mean, you don't need a model kit to stay alive, for many it's an impulse buy and great box-art lowers the threshold.

Maybe it's on that tub which blocked the Suez canal for a few weeks and has been released yesterday after agreeing to pay a substantial sum as compensation for hindering world trade.

Box-art is very important to lure the casual builder into buying a product he/she doesn't really need. For us well informed guys, the content, pedigree and expected quality of the model kit is of much more importance.

Still find it odd, that prints from the 3D files didn't show the mentioned deviations from the design of OEM. IIRC the same thing happened with the Ford Cabs....eerie

Onwards to the Chevy Caprice to Impala SS retool, I wonder how many parts need to be retooled, changed and added, to have both a 96 Impala and Caprice in Revell' s productline. Any takers? ? For starters, I would make the yrunklid a separate part.......

A pity that due to the promo heritage of the '77-78 Monaco (debuted as a Plymouth RR) Mpc didn't tool up the front clip as a separate part, cuz that way it could've been similar to what Yodel back in the day did. Luckily there's the aftermarket.....but secretly hope the powers at R2 will find ROI in it (by maybe tooling up an new body, modified-reverse engineering)

Indeed, that's why I said, that it might be better to invest into improved reverse engineered kits, the advanced is optional just like it was back in the 60s with kits, accesoiry packs and building tips by the Amt Kat.

Improved reverse engineering the Coronet, IMHO would make more financial sense for R2 than an all new kit, cuz if they play their cards well* 2 kits can be sold; the new an improved "original" and a Ertl engineered Plymouth late '60s RR/GTX (*)By including a advanced modelers tip on the instruction sheet, on how to build a better detailed replica. A similar approach can be taken with the original, '66 Comet, '67 Fairlane, etc, etc...

Beautiful box-art!

$32 still a bit shy of what we pay here....

I'm in a good mood today, so why not

I guess, it won't be long till Italeri re-releases that kit, cuz they're working their way down the former Esci back catalog.

I know all too well, post away...

There are many threads similar to yours and mine, therefore probably that John Shoe hinted towards adding a specific section to group all these kinds of wish-lists.

??

Could the front clip of the Revell be adapted to fit the Mpc kit, or the grilles/headlamp assy'? (Don't have the Revell kit myself, that's why the question)

Darn, you're good But no just a spelling error, Ha!

Oops!

It was the next best thing, cuz don't have the magical powers Michael has

Could be a great support vehicle for a Baja type of racing or for dirt bikes (I probably mentioned this before a few time ) A pitty too that the original Mpc Dodge window van was altered, think that kit would be a great base for a Polar bear expedition vehicle, adding 4x4 (Champion Home Builders Co) and a luggage rack for the backpacking bear spotters.

You asked for it, do hope you will find a way to cope with what you unleashed The Ultimate "why don't they make a" why don't they make a.....tread!!!!!!!!!!! - General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars) - Model Cars Magazine Forum

Wondering why there’s no model kit of car/truck, x,y,z, here’s you chance to be heard, list as many as you’d like, BUT also do say WHY you want it! Tread inspired by John Shoe Round2 -- AMT & MPC Kits for 2021 - Page 9 - Car Kit News & Reviews - Model Cars Magazine Forum don't kill me Joe, Ha! BTW It's weekend, so let's go nuts!

Sure no problem

Got your attention now didn't I ? Anyway, for argument's sake, let us assume this is true and some model company is looking to release Street Machine versions of existing kits, kit like for example; '60s 'early '70s Mustangs, Chevelle's, Coronets, Chargers, GTO's, Torino's, Chargers, etc.... What are the parts you think must be included with these? How to proceed: - Pick a model kit - Pick the era (70s/'80s/'90s style) - name the parts you would like to see included (please be specific) - Idea for artwork/decals And repeat as many times as you have ideas for..... Thanks, and happy creative thinking! ? Luc
