What are your Bucket List Kits?

[br67]

Amt 69 Falcon annual and MPC Demon

[Bucky]

I would hafta add that Demon kit my list. I owned a tame '71 Demon....with a 318 CI V-8 automatic. Still a decent running car.

[Ich_Will]

I want to do two more Tamiya Rothman's 956 kits...so I have all three numbers. Not much of a stretch but I think it would be fun.

[Dann Tier]

I would have to say; Lindbergs D-type Jaguar, Monograms California Street Corvette, Resin 1/24 Mangusta, Cheetah, and Lindbergs Herbie.

Last April I found one of my grails, the Tamiya  FW 24. It was the only 1/20th Tamiya  F-1 car  that I didn't have in my stash. My next choices would probably be a complete AMT '62 Buick Special station wagon kit and an MPC '67 STP turbine car.  I ruined the Special as a kid and I recently obtained a built up one. The turbine car I've never had and always thought it was a cool car.

I have been wanting a Monogram California Corvette for a long time....

[Sledsel]

Pretty simple list for me, 67 Galaxie hardtop, and an old Monogram Corvette (Enjoyed the ones I built as a kid, Didn't need to paint them, and they looked cool)

[ewetwo]

1964 Comet Caliente but we know that's not going to happen. LOL

it absolutely was.

An AMT (Model King) repop.

It was reissued in limited numbers a few years ago & is not terribly difficult to find.

So we know that AMT still possesses the molds.

It could be reissued again at any time.

They are hard to find and if one pops up on EBay. Final pricing is high. I can’t pay $70 for a kit. But it.was my first car, Black with red interior. Only had a 6 cylinder in it but it was a sharp car.

Yes it was Snake. But they bring a premium price. And Steve. They better hurry as I’m not getting any younger. Lol

[Renegade]

My second car. Red on red. 289 engine. Built one to replicate my 1:1 car. Bought when it came out so wasn't that expensive.

[Bucky]

I have a '67 Ford Galaxie convertible rebuilder, and a '69 Galaxie kit, so the '68 Galaxie is on my grail shopping list, too. A bit scarce, and out of my range when I do see one!

Another Ford on the grail list is a decent '58. I prefer a kit, but a good ,reasonably priced rebuilder would do.

I wasn’t building when it was last issued or believe me, I’d have one. Maybe one day.   

I’m going to build one of my other favorite carS that I owned. 1964 Galaxies. Light yellow with black interior. 390 4 barrel with auto. That car would move.

I recently acquired one of those from an estate, and just looked at eBay to see .... ok ..... glad I snagged it.

I happened to have filed a few pages from old catalogs, been looking for :
Testors - Sportstar resin kit 473, don't think they got around to producing it, about the time Boyd died.
Airfix - Maserati Boomerang
Heller - Bugatti T50 1931Jaguar E Type coupe
Otaki - Lamborghini Cheetah

I'm not asking for much.  

[BeakDoc]

Any of these.

[Bucky]

Any and all of those old Dodge pickups, please!!

[Oldcarfan27]

This one is next on my list....

Even if it's just the camper parts, I'd be happy. I already have the window van waiting. 

[Deuces]

With a trailer even..... ?

Well, they're not exactly like picking up stones from a gravel road, but they are out there.

As far as price goes, any time you have a kit that is OOP, you are going to have to pay a price for it.

$70.00 may sound high, but it all depends on how badly you want one.

You can buy 3 modern kits that you can live without, or you can save your money & buy one that you really want.

It's all relative.

As they say, you have to pay to play.

 

Or, you can wait & hope that Round 2 re-issues it sometime before we die!
