It shows that they are not really listening to us. It is a great idea to market some simple snappers aimed for the kids, but we all know that adult modelers buy a lot of them too. Why are they doing that interration of the Crown Vic? The old Lindburg Crown Vic. is still easy to get on the secondary market at cheap prices. The last body style Crown Vic would be a great seller as a model kit, especially with some added engine detail, similar to the 1990's Caprice. They could spin it off into a Taxi Cab in NYC, or Chicago Livery, and then do it as a Mercury Marauder. As a police car, a selection of 2-3 period roof lights, and police equipment would be good, and leave the holes in the roof and pillars flashed over for an undercover/civilian car. It would be a better seller than the last Chevy Caprice police car from the 90's, as well as the Chevy Impala snap kit, or the Dodge Charger. Just make the body contours true to the real car, and not toy-like, and they would have a winner.
I predict that we will get some un-painted versions of the C-7 Corvette in the near future, as a lot of us are not going to buy kits to strip the paint from and re-finish. Look at the Polar Light's kits from the last decade.
