Wish Lists

[Kmb0319]

OK, this is too fun not to play along.  My list:

-  take some of the old Monogram kits... The 71 GTX, the 69 GTO that are still selling and update the tooling to modern Revell standards and detail

- a GOOD 70-72 GTO, not that MPC garbage.

- a new tool, updated 69 Chevelle SS 396

- someone at Round 2 PLEASE get the old MPC 70 Grand Prix body... It should take little modification to combine it with the 70 Monte Carlo chassis and make a nice kit.

-  love the idea of the 71 Cyclone from the Torino kit

- a decent full detail kit of a GT40 in 1/25 or 1/24

-  the new Mustang!  We got a complete redesign two years ago of an icon and huge modeling subject, and all we have gotten is a snap kit???

-  tires:  lots of complaints about them... AMT put out their pad-printed pieces, but we need more.. And we shouldn't have to spend as much as we did on the kit to get decent ones.  Upgrade what's in the box and maybe have some reasonable cost options to purchase separately 

- finally, this would be a more cost-intensive project, but reading this thread, I see a lot of requests for the BMW 3.0 CS, there hasn't been a decent Jaguar XK-E in forever... We get American cars and hot rods from the domestic makers.  Tamiya, Fujimi and the Japanese companies give us mostly modern super cars and either rally or F1 racers.  The entire market of great and historically significant vehicles from the 1950s to 1970s is ignored.  Tamiya put out their great 300SL, but even Porsche 911s aren't well represented save for some old Fujimi kits and curbsides.  Seems like a major sales opportunity is being missed.

I've been told a couple of times by Revell people that, sadly, the Renwal Revival tooling no longer exists. I would love to get a set of these, guess I need to keep haunting the Bay....

Monogram does need to start up their Classic series again. We need:

L-29 Cord

Auburn Speedster

Pierce Arrow

Classic Studebaker

Stutz DV-32

For starters...

 

 

I'd like to see those, too, and I'd buy at least one of all of them.

Great thoughts and suggestions on kits.but in cars I would want a Moebius or Revell 1973 or 74 Chevrolet Nova SS coupe..would love it and in pickups a 1977 Chevrolet or GMC crewcab 1 ton pickup with 2wd or 4 wd options and standard bed or dually options ...that would light my fire......Chris

Oh, okay! I've talked to you here, before. In fact, as soon I clicked on your link and saw your the offering the '65 Wildcat kit, I ordered one from you. I'm sure you don't mind.

I see that now. What I did not see is the '71 Cyclone kit you mentioned you offered. If your '65 Wildcat is as good as it looks, I may have to order the Cyclone down the road.

i cast ggrabber mavericks & 70-71 cyclones in resin

Your site says that one (Maverick) is coming back soon...I'm completely ignorant about casting and what's required, how long it takes, etc, but if you're waiting on interest to pick up for that kit, I'd certainly order one providing the cost is in keeping with most of your other kits. Any insight on when those might come available?

The Wildcat is very nice. I have one. Use the '66 for the interior and running gear. The '66 kit actually has the '65 interior. One of my plans is to build a corrected '66 interior.

Kevin doesn't always update his site, check on Facebook (I believe it's set to public so anyone can see it,) or contact him directly. He'll set you up.

Well. for what it is worth, I see at least one topic suggested here in a number of replies that is actually under active development by one of the model car companies.  As in all-new tool of a subject never before kitted in 1/24th-1/25th scale.  As to what the present status of the project is, I do not know.  But I do hope it will see the light of day sometime in the next couple of years.    TIM

That narrows it down to a few. 

It'll be interesting to see what actually comes forth.

I just got home and found my '65 Wildact resin waiting for me. Man she is a nice looking model. You do quality work. I'm pleased to say that everything looks. No flash, other than in the vent windows. Which is no big deal. And very nice chrome. As I said, I'm pleased.

You'll be please to know I made mention of you at this last Wednesday's Model Car Club of Minnesota meeting. I was told by others there that you do good work. And to expect nice stuff from you. They were right.

So, gang. I'm impressed and have no problems recommending Missing Link as a vendor. Thanks Kevin.

Classic Indy and F-1 cars from the 40s - 60s. Transporters and large trucks from the same era. Early Bonneville cars. A belly tanker. A '64 Corvair. '67 Ranchero. An Airstream trailer. Vista Cruisers. The early 60s Ford pickups. The Exner New Yorkers and letter cars

I wonder if a '78-'83 Chevy Malibu coupe would fly.

And now to upset one or two people. I'd still like to see if Revell has the dies and can reissue the Renwall Exner/Revival series of cars. From what I've seen of them, they might not be the best, or most detailed kits ever designed. But, I still think they're cool. And would be willing the buy at least one of each if they came back out.

You would need to buy a lot more than one each. A lot.

 

 

[Junkman]

I would like to see Moebius expand their Chrysler Letter Series lineup with an F and a G.

Also, a lot more finned bling from 1958-1961. Reissues would do, even reissues of promo tools.

Then I'd like to have the 'forgotten' 70s land yachts, and with this I mean newly tooled fullsize (and I do mean fullsize) stuff.

Also, Soutchik bodied Delahaye anyone? Anyone?

Oh! Nice display. At a first glance I thought one my dreams came true. And the Revell decided to bring the Rewall Revival  series back!

I too would like to see the F, my all time favorite letter car.

[Junkman]

Mine is the G.

Revell???

Nah, not Revell. They probably use the 1962 Mopar t00lz as sleeping pillows.
