Old topic, but AMT/Round2 ... Moebius, Revell ... SOMEBODY ...... 
Needs to do a modern tooled '70 - '74 Challenger R/T soon !

Revell should do a 1:25 scale similar to how they did the '70 'Cuda from 1/24 down to 1/25 scale .
AMT/Round2 should be (in my opinion) a newly tooled kit ... even a Craftsman kit would be cool .
Hardtop kit first with a Hemi then a convertible kit (with an up-top this time) and a 440 .

I so agree and with the popularity of E bodies today as far as the classic market one would think this is a no brainer, especially a 1970 or 1971.  I think it is so weird some of the kits that come out and we have no good Challengers really to speak of .

It's an ironic situation- this would be a popular subject, but since every manufacturer already has the tooling for one or two of them, we will probably never see an all-new, full detail one. 

I think the most likely scenario would be for Round 2 to decide to Retropop a new '71 (and maybe a '72-'74 to follow), much like their Coronets and GTO's. 

With any luck, they would do a decent chassis, more like the one in the Coronet (I'll take it), rather than like the ones in the original MPC Challengers (yuck!). 

A Rod Shop or Motown Missile Pro Stock, and perhaps a "Hawkeye" replica would be nice commercially viable variants. Just sayin'.
