Sounds like a job for Chief Joseph at Fireball Modelworks.

Mercedes 600 Grosser. Anyone make one?
Young iron replied to HotRodaSaurus's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
No one exists as a kit. Or I would buy a bunch of it. If Revell managed to release a nice 59 Cadillac, they can make a nice W100. Pullman only ! -
Pontiac Resin Bonanza!
Young iron replied to George Bojaciuk's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Talk about the ultimate Pontiac Bonanza : make a transkit from Otaki 1974 T/As to build 1975s and 1976s from the usual Monogram 1978... -
Pontiac Resin Bonanza!
Young iron replied to George Bojaciuk's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Keith Marks does offer a 1971 Formula decal set. But they're probably designed for 1:25 Mpc kits. Someone may ask him to create new sets, but he hasn't released new ones for years now. -
1/24 Yugo or Fiat 127 kit by chance?
Young iron replied to aurfalien's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Hi No chance for a kit. But you can find 1:24 Die-casts of these things. A lot of funny trash to repaint and detail. From brands such as Burago or Polistil. BTW, the Fiat 127 DOES exist, and is not that bad. Just add decent wheels, tricky details, and it will be respectable. Tadaaaa ! -
Yes ! Yes ! Yes !!!

Excited about reissued '84 Pro Stock Camaro !!
Young iron replied to gbdolfans's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Like going back to the 1992 Street-Machine Nats. -
This is an old subject. I've been hoping for them for 10 years (71 Rivi, any FWD Eldo, Lincoln Mk V, Pontiac Grandville, Buick Centurion, 1976 Cadillac Limousine, etc). We've had a few approaching subjects with the Low-rider wave. But now ? Did Revell sell enough 77 Monte-Carlos to pay the mold engineering ? What about the 1984 Cadillac ? Isn't the Low-rider trend oldfashion with modelers ? So, why these kits haven't been slightly modified to sell more ( stock 1980 Caddy, 1984 Fleetwood Brougham, 1974 Monte-Carlo, 1977 Olds 4-4-2). Where's the money ? The money ? MONEY ??? I just guess we had a golden era for Land yachts, and today is all about 80s and 90s. Or the good old Hot-Rod/60s subjects. Nevermind, you know what 1970s car I'd buy by dozens today if they had it kitted ? Mercedes R107s.

'76 Firebird Trans Am -
Young iron replied to tmartin03's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Here's the 1974 Super-Duty T/A I build years ago. I mixed a 1970 Revell and a 1974 Arii for the front fascia. To create a 1976, you should use most of the 1978 Revell Warbird, including the front bumper. Missing link Resin also offers Honeycomb wheels. -
I'll buy one just for the scale. 1/20 is just the perfect scale. Slightly bigger than 1:24, perfect for better details, but not Big Scale yet. No if they could release the Grand Cherokee as well...

Round 2 September 2017 Product Spotlight
Young iron replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I need a crate of these 1:16 T/As -
I wish someone offered decals for these T/As. Keith Marks offers great 1:24 ones (that's how I built my 1974 SD-455). But 79-81s still exist in various scales, from 1:25 to 1:8. Converting this reissue in a 305ci 1980, or just repainting a 1:8 TTA with fresh decals would be just amazing.

Round 2 August 2017 Product Spotlight
Young iron replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Nothing exciting to me. Except the idea of building 1:25 1974-78 GM cars : 76 Formula, 77 4-4-2, 73 Grand Am... -
1977 Dodge Monaco/Crestwood wagon.
Young iron replied to om617's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Hi. The market will depend on quality. The poor interior/chassis/engine from the kit are okay since no one will admire these Lean Burn motors. But the body will have to be nice and feature, to my taste, side woodtrim and correct hubcaps. -
I have a hurt original, so this is great news and I will buy a few. Hope they will just complete the toyish tinted glass with clear one.

Hi Your Formula can be easily be replicated with any of these 1/24 1987-1992 Formula-T/A kit. Your biggest challenge will be the front bumper. Try to find a trash-built 1982-83, their bumper won't have a spoiler. Using a nice unbuilt example would be criminal. Good luck !

Chief Joseph does offer amazing Mickey Thompsons. But only one size (rears) is available. Fronts will get the fantastic 70's look : -
