And it has a beautiful French cousin, the Ford Comete, with bodywork by Facel. This is a '54 Monte Carlo coupe... Edited June 8, 2022 by Ace-Garageguy 1
Bugatti Fan Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Alan, you say you are looking for a Mercer Raceabout to compliment your Aurora Stutz. Were you aware that Bandai produced a 1/16th scale kit back in the 70's? Maybe worth a look on Ebay?

Try this. https://www.3000toys.com/mobi/detail.aspx?sku=greenlight84011 A touch on the bulky side -- doesn't hold a candle to a styrene kit. But, regardless of that assessment: iconic car... iconic film... why not a kit? Better than die cast stuff with bank vault door hinges and too-thick door frames.
keyser Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Watched Blues Brothers with college kids. They all thought it was dumb. Narrow audience. Sad but too old I think.
Plowboy Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 I'd like to see an '81 Malibu. Revell already has the chassis/drivetrain with the '83 Oldsmobile. They could span different years with a simple tail light, nose piece and seat pattern swap.

Smoke Wagon Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 Zero chance, but I’d like to see a kit of a Chrysler K car. With just a few extra pieces, it could be a 2 in 1 kit containing options to build a Dodge Aries or Plymouth Reliant. Derivatives can be made too, such as coupes, wagons, Chrysler LeBaron, etc. Although, given their boxy, compact, and simple design, K cars would lend themselves well to 3d printing.
Mike C. Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 I said it before, I'll say it again. BAJA BUG! The wide eyed version would be nice and the front bumper nerf bars and a rear cage would be nice. I have a Revell '68 bug kit just waiting for this day. Also, the old Jackman style dune buggy Baja wheels would be nice. 1
GMP440 Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Would love to see Round 2 release the MPC 67 Bonneville and the AMT 67 Ford Galaxie. 1

Impi solid steel wheels and 10.00 x 15 floatation rear tires. 1
webestang Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 A fully detailed (including luggage) 48 Tucker. 2
W Humble Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 In the mid-eighties, I think it was MPC that issued a Datsun 620 4x4 kit that had Jackman-style spokers and big (for that era) mudders. My son had one -- the kit, I mean; yellow plastic.
Bill Anderson Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 Hi, I'm "late to the party" but may I add my wants to the list..... 1962-3 Ford Falcon Futura (I had a red '63 with buckets and factory 4 speed) 2015-22 Ford F150 (other than Raptor or Super Duty)... there are so many of these out there (I had two) and no model kits.
charger74 Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 I don’t know if its been said, but i would like a jensen interceptor 2
von Zipper Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 Even though it has been done in diecast , I would love to see a DIVCO made into full detail plastic kit while I'm daydreaming , how about a full detail Checker Marathon 1
espo Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 I would like to build a model of a Baja Bug I owned years ago. I have seen the "wide eyed" style, but mine was somewhat different. 3
Tom Geiger Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 Quote Even though it has been done in diecast , I would love to see a DIVCO made into full detail plastic kit It's a funny thing... I have a resin Divco that was done by Ron Cash way back when. I was looking for a chassis and how to scratch build the interior, find suitable decals etc. Then Danbury Mint came out with their Divco. I bought it and ya know, there is no way I could top theirs as a model. So that just scratched my itch and I'm done!
