I think it’s both, they need to narrow the rim and make the spokes longer.

See the weird thing is the roof and body filler pieces being on the same tree as the parts that would theoretically be chrome.

Personally, I'm disappointed that they aren't producing more Japanese SUVs! Aoshima has the 1st gen Terrano and the 2nd Gen Hilux Surf, and Tamiya has the 2nd gen Pajero, Land Cruiser 80, and Isuzu VehiCross but it would be cool to see some others like the 3rd gen Hilux Surf/4Runner, the 2nd gen Terrano/Pathfinder, the 1st and 3rd gen Pajero/Montero, the 1st and 2nd gen Isuzu Mu/Amigo/Rodeo, the Daihatsu Rocky, a better version of the 2nd gen Isuzu Trooper (plus the 1st gen), and a proper 1/24 kit of the FJ40 Land Cruiser.

I’m also surprised they didn’t bother with some blocks to lift the suspension, it looks weird with the stock ride height. Obviously they are easy to make, but another example of not giving that little bit of extra.

I’m confused why people keep bringing up the engine when I have yet to see a complaint that there is no engine. The complaint I’m seeing is the promo-style chassis, which I agree is disappointing after seeing the well done chassis in the Blazer kit. Would have been nice to get a van chassis with an accurate suspension and a rear axle that doesn’t look like it came from a big rig!

Going slightly off topic here, but there are definitely several modern subjects that would be popular in kit form, yet don't exist.

Same for me, especially the US market decals/markings now that American Satco is gone!

Ouch!

I will be honest, I think we need site-sponsored community builds, ones where you can win fun things (magazine subscription, calendar with your build on the cover & one month, site banner/header image, etc.), . Right now, the Cannonball community build is the only one that ever seems to get consistent patronage and I think the chance to win something would bring more engagement in general.

There are some kits where even if they are the only game in town, I still won't bother with (not including price).

To be fair, Facebook isn't even Facebook anymore. It is now just Ad Engagement Farm Online. Nothing wrong with adding more emojis, they're already here and not causing issues. Besides as I said before when they were first being introduced here, you don't have to use them, and not having them doesn't automatically mean people will instead craft a response.

You can get reloadable Visa cards at most stores for online purchases nowadays.

Honestly a 3D printing section would be a good idea with how easy it is to get into nowadays and how popular 3D printed parts are becoming. It's easy enough now to get a reloadable Visa card for online orders where you can just put on enough for your purchase, and if the number gets compromised, you don't have to worry about the rest of your money being taken. I agree right now that the amount of categories is sufficient with the amount of traffic the site is getting (other than adding the aforementioned 3D printing section). It would be nice if you are paying, that you could have unlimited editing time. Of course, this is probably more of a software limitation and couldn't distinguish between unpaid and paid members.

Both still available, these kits are complete and all the fiddly parts are intact and not broken. Honestly, I don't plan to build them at all anymore so I am willing to trade both for any kit in my trade-list or for another 90s pickup/SUV kit that you may have.

That's the Bronco Sport, but the point still stands!
