1. Tamiya Mercedes
   
2. Tamiya Nissan Skyline
   
3. Any Mustang kit
   
4. Ford or Chevy Late model trucks
   
5. Drag Car kit
   
6. Street Rods
   
7. Any Muscle Car
   

Im sure there would be twenty in that list.

[Draggon]

All of the AMT Trophy Series kits! Uh, this is a "what if" right? I could probably list 20 currently available, but I dont have much interest in them other than the Revell and Round 2 re-issues. I think I must be stuck in nostalgia. I really enjoy building kits I had when I was a youngster, but with the skill I have aquired over the decades!

I'd love to see Bob Downie's response to this.

Ed – what would those be?

[Eshaver]

Skip, since ya asked , the A M T's would include a couple of 1925 Ford Model t's . You can spend hours an hours doing vintage commercial bodies on one of them . The OVER Priced double dragster in card board . Hey I build models , not collect boxes . In Revell's new offering, I guess a 1962 Impala and a 1972 Oldsmobile convertable . Ed Shaver

I can't tell whether the list is of stuff that is available now, or ??

I rarely walk out of a shop with a model. I get models online or at shows or one-at-a-time w/coupons at craft stores. I can't imagine going to any hobby shop and picking out 20 models of existing kits-I don't need them! I have enough already for several lifetimes...everything I want is either not available, or not on the shelves yet.

Kits that I plan to get in 2011 (ones that I know about):

Moebius Chrysler 300, Hudson, Lonestar

Revell Mustang GT HT & CV, Camaro SS

Tamiya Lexus LFA

Revell AG Mercedes SLS & 458 Italia (I just finished 458 review kit, will build multiples when in US packaging)

Polar Lights Batmobile

Fujimi Porsche GT3-RSR

Aoshima Subaru WRX-STI

AMT Meyers Manx

Lindberg Dodge Charger Police (I'll believe it when I see it)

Academy Cobra Daytona Coupe (if it happens)

It will probably take all year to get 20 "new to me" models, and that's more than enough

I'm really looking forward to your build of the Mercedes SLS AMG.

Thanks, me too

It should be on the bench in a week or so...will be a good follow-up to their 458 which I am very impressed with...it's one of those "I'd build a case of them if I can" kinds of models for me, and those are rare.
