Moebius - Now that the Comet is out, What's Next

[High octane]

A good friend of mine owns one..................................................................

[sfhess]

68 Cyclone.......

(I think they look better.)

[shoopdog]

Would like to see a Comet/Maverick also.

[MrObsessive]

A 1956 or 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk would be nice...

ANY Hawk from '56-'64 would be welcome, but I would be ALL OVER a 1957-58 Golden Hawk! Since they pretty much shared major parts with each other, it would be just a matter of changing rear fenders and rooflines for different years. Some interior bits would be a bit different too, but nothing super major.

Psssst. Moebius.............I hope you're listening!

[MrObsessive]

Same here, but if they do one, PLEASE don't do the '73 and later cars with those ugly battering ram bumpers! That to me just killed the style of the car among other things!

[Mr mopar]

Yes I would go for some AWB cars, and I'm surprised that if you want a '68 Coronet, that you didn't get one from Modelhaus when they were available as I have one in my stash and hopefully I'll get to build it someday soon.

I did have the Modelhaus 68' coronet but sold it off ,it was not the best resin I have seen . I think a New kit would be better then the old MPC offering or Resin casted one !

For me personally Its pretty simple. Costs and issues with resin - A Modelhaus resin kit was over $100 . A nice builder styrene kit runs on average of $100- $125 give or take depending on the day . ( I just bought one for right at $110 )

I can work with plastic without issues / requirements of a specialty glue or paint or procedures a resin kit requires .

For me, the only way I buy a resin kit is if the subject  is or never has been avail in plastic  ( mid 60s Dodge pickup as an example )

 

Again this is only MY reasoning behind it.

 

Of course, now that Ive got one. someone will announce an all new tooling of one  ( you guys can thanks me later )

Sedans are passe'.  One word: Cobra. 

 

 

You heard it here.

[Paul Hettick]

My vote would be 77 through 79 Thunderbirds. Nascar, Low Rider, and replica stock. Breaking into uncharted and neglected territory may be a good thing.

[Daddyfink]

Time to break out of the family car comfort zone, and some of these obscure type cars that will not cut it in the open market, sales wise. 

 

I vote Cobra Daytona Coupe. Only done once in 1/24th and hard to find. Plus, international appeal helps. 

[Joe Handley]

The only answer is XJ!  Seriously, there needs to be an XJ Cherokee kit made available!

 

[lysleder]

I am patiently waiting for my 4x4 Ford pickup. I am fairly confident it will materialize at some point.

i'll admit. I'd  buy a couple.of those.

I have a Modelhaus on order but probably won't see it before mid-2018. I'd hope another resincaster would pick this one up. Would love to see it from Motor City, which does beautiful work at reasonable prices. I hope someone picks up the Modelhaus '67 Barracuda hardtop, too. I failed to get one of those.

Ain't it always the way!

Southern Motorsport Hobbies offers the 1968 Coronet in resin, I have some of their other kits and the quality is very good.

There are a number of good ideas represented however, I truly strongly desire that Moebius would keep a promise they made several years ago  of reissuing some of the AMC (American Motors Cars) kits.

There haven't been any 1/25 offerings of the `68 thru`70 Javelin since the were original casting by the long defunct Jo-Han models. I passionately wish to see the ``68 and `70 Javelin model years reissued.  Hopefully, the `70 Javelin will include an SST  "Mark Donohue" build option with the rear deck and front chin spoilers.

The `71 AMC Hornet S/C/360 would also be nice.

+1 on all this!

I think that cash flow may be a problem with Moebius right now.  I know that they have the Ford 4X4 pickups tooled, but aren't promising when they will be released. I think that on kits like the Comet and Hudsons, once the initial rush by older modelers to buy them goes by, the rest sit on the shelves of hobby shops (at least the ones I frequent) and refill orders for additional kits aren't being placed.  I hope I'm wrong but in talking to owner of my local hobby shop, he said the only Moebius kits that he has had to reorder have been the Navistar Lonestar and ProStar, and the Ford pickups.  Without cash coming in, tooling and production of new kits has to be put on hold. 

Just my thoughts.

AJ , I thought Chuck Most bought all the Hudson kits to do his various versions found in Michigan wrecking yards ....

[1930fordpickup]

I say a reissue is next. different decals drag version or a different truck like a 4x4

69' Ford short box was just reissue!

[Atmobil]

Many cool sugestions and ideas here. It will be exiting to see what they will come up with.

I want to add my hopes and dreams to the pile and say, what about a Checker?
Too strange maybe, but there are many cars out there that has never been kitted before. I wish for one of them, no mather what it is.

[Mike Chernecki]

I don't think there will be anything new for a while. We still have the variations of the Ventura to be released; the Catalina and the Stock Car and possible others. Plus variations on the Comet, afx car and more. Plus the Plymouth variations and a few more Ford pickups. More Hudsons?
