highway Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I'm sure if I'd think about it, I could have a list 10 pages long of "Holy Grail" kits, but here are a few of the most inmportant. 1974-76 Trans AM-One of very few styles I don't have of a Gen 21978 or 79 Trans AM Type K SportwagonMonogram's 1/16 scale tractor trailers-Any of them would do, but I would really love to have the blue Kenworth Aerodyne I had as a kid and the trailer to go with it It is ironic just a couple weeks ago I did get one of my "Holy Grails" scratched off the list, MPC's 1/16 scale General Lee. That was the first model I ever built and wanted to replace it ever since I'd lost the original in a house fire in 1997. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darin Bastedo Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I guess this is as close as I get to a holy grail these days. It's by renwal, and it is the only Cobra variant I don't have yet. Cobra? yes this car was built on a cobra chassis, CSX2451 Designed by Virgil Exner. It's hard to find this kit for a price I'm willing to pay.

Ben Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 By "Holy Grail" do you mean kits that we already own or kits that we have yet to obtain? For me, on kits that I already own, it would be a toss up between my two Renwal visible chassis kits or my Monogram 1/12 Mean Maverick funny car kits. As far as kits I have yet to obtain, it would be the Aurora Racing Scenes VooDoo Vega complete funny car kit and the Pinto complete funny car kit. I have the rest of the entire series, just need those two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 In addition to the kits in my sig. I'd have to add: Formula Canadas Shadow DN2 + 4 kits AMT or Johan Mark Donohue '70 + '71 Javelin's Crazy Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I don't really have any, except for a couple in of builds in my imagination that I would like to get down on styrene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 1/8 scale, full-detail Daytona or Superbird. Either one. With options to build a stock and an accurate NASCAR version. I know... don't hold my breath... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 The Aurora Racing Scenes stuff is something I wish could be redone. I bought a sealed VooDoo Vega a few years ago so that's off the list, but the rest would be nice. I also would like the Snake and Mongoose rear engine cars reissued. There are quite a few Tom Daniel kits I'd love to see as well. The Monogram 1/32 gassers were VERY cool too! I think there were at least 3 of em. All the Museum Pieces and Early Iron cars reished would also be sweet. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I guess for me it would be mpc's 73-Caprice,i've tried at least 6 times to get one on Ebay and have been outbid everytime!,guessing it's the grail kit for many others as well.

highway Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 This is my "Holy Grail" I'm guessing you want it for the Coors decals, because other than that it's the Kenworth cabover AMT just reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000-cvpi Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The Hubbley 1960-1 Ford station wagons. Several sixties Jo-Han Mopars and the Cadillac hearse. I stay off eBay and I am cheap so it may be a while until I get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well, I just noticed that there was another I had forgotten about, the original AMT "Back to the Future" time machine. Strangely enough, I remembered it was one of my "Holy Grails" I'd forgot when a friend gave me a plastic tote today (well yesterday now since it is technically Monday now ) that was filled with models from when he tried modeling in the early 90s and that was the first kit I seen!!! I about fell over in shock!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
