Not a big Corvette fan, but I loved those when I was young. Would love to see them released in original form

Nice... Even with ll the bashing of this old kit, it can be built to look good.

I am leaning towards 67 and 71 Mustang bodies... or maybe a Torino ?

Used often on full bodied dirt cars.

Well, the GTO super stocker is great to see. I may need to get one to do a Cutlass or Chevelle stocker

Decent kit, goes together well, 1/24 scale. Something off in the headlight grill area though. Revell has been known to label a 1/24 kit as being 1/25.

Can this thing really be considered a model? Holy smokes...

We will have to see what they do. I know I am picking up a few kits before the coupons a phased out. Will have to see what they do with regular prices. Kits at HL are $2 more than my LHS, so the coupon helps when they have a kit I want, when they do not have it, I go to my LHS.

Nice job on that. I was going to do the same, but decided to scratch it. The upper part of the tower on mine is the wheel well from the chassis. I should have done "in progress" pics

Anyone know if they are still in business? Newest FB is from 2012! Sent email, no response yet

Shocked.... with political correctness and fear of influencing kids and all, Beer and tobacco advertising on what is considered "toys" disappeared in the 90's examples:

Although not a "newer" truck.... I would love this in 1/25

Miller Beer... interesting

As an FYI, this modification did not take that long. Not 100% correct, but looks acceptable IMO

This is just another "wish list" thread, unlike the thread on kits that tooling started or were released but never came out.

Fitment and quality does have an impact, but those things can be overcome without much trouble. Correcting inaccuracies is much tougher IMO.

Wow, I read through this thread and found many kits I would have never expected to see listed where-as I knew I would see some. Many listed I was able to make something nice out of. I am going to list my personal worst kits. #5 Revell 57 Fords. Much loved kit that I cannot stomach. The body on it has so many flaws and inaccuracies, but I am correcting one of each. The Multi piece Ranchero and 1/32 are more accurate. #4 Revell chopped 49 Mercury. The sides are flat, lower body too squared off, the roof looks squashed, has a weird chop, windows are too flat, hood is not correct. Tried to correct one, tossed the body in the trash. #3 AMT Earnhardt/Baker 83 Thunderbird stock cars (lump in both Petty Pontiac Grand Prix too) Worst Nascar kits ever IMO #2 Monogram 69 Camaro. Nuff said #1 Lindberg 71 Mustang. Actually a 70 that has been doctored to look like a 71. I am actually trying to make something out of one tho. Dishonorable mention. Revell Chopped 48 Ford. Windshield shape is way off, rear quarter windows shaped incorrectly, another funky "humped" chop, otherwise, nice kit.

I think so, I will need to check and see if the sizes are listed Thanks for the replies guys, I was able to trade off the tires I have, but when I need more, I know where to check.

My car model budget is safe, my truck budget is screwed

I need the van, Hostess truck and Ford 9000.... I will have to deal with the price I guess.

Now I have seen the flaw, I cannot un-see it.... Great

Love that Barris Merc. Good luck with the build, hopefully you can make that Revell body look good. Would not have been my choice to start with because the sides are too flat and the hood contours are way off. There are other things, but those are the glaring ones from that kit. She shows her die cast roots.

Sweet. They look "just right" on those trucks. Great job, love the broken grill

The Woody, okay. That just needs the AMT front bumper to be more correct. The chopped custom can die a slow death. Great parts donor, but the body is so bad that I pitched it in the trash. I attempted corrections and just gave up. The 48 is a lot better than the Mercury and the rear quarter windows are the only thing really needing fixed
