Scale auto renaissance?

[Dr. Cranky]

I like the list.

[my66s55]

I would add a 49 Buick Roadmaster and make the 53 Buick a Skylark.

[Junkman]

I will include all suggestions you guys make into the list in the end. I'm really looking forward what the final list will look like.

I have to agree, that's a good list. I'd consider purchasing each one of those.

a NEW tool 57 chevy convertible.

[Junkman]

Keep on going.

However, I will not include stuff that merely needs reissuing. We are talking new tools, or heavily modified/amended existing tools only in this list.

We could make a separate reissues wish list too, if you like.

Any late model 50s and 60s trucks that are not Ford or Chevy would be great.

[Dr. Cranky]

Stuff like this:

We should make a separate truck list, too. That's up to the Americans though. Being European, I have no concept of the truck scene.

[Harry P.]

If we keep expanding the list of "most wanteds," pretty soon we'll have every car ever made on it!

So... what's the point? I mean, besides amusing ourselves, I guess...

[Dr. Cranky]

I'm sure they will chime in shortly! LOL!

[Tony T]

A few random thoughts, for amusement...

I'd love to see a late model Ford Police Interceptor/Crown Vic done with police gear, like the Charger.

Station wagons...main stream stuff, like the Ford Taurus from early 2000.

50s & 60s trucks are great...I have a couple of projects that could benefit from a nice International pick up!

Late model CTS, CTS-V...Wagon, Coupe and Sedan.

How about some of the big guys big sellers? Ford Fiesta, Focus and Fusion, Chev Cobalt, Dodge Caliber, that type of entry level car.

I grew up in the 60s when every fall the model year changes happened...I love the big cars of that era.

We will find out what is mentioned more often than not.

[Tony T]

Makes for a nice result from a keyword search for model car company executives to find!!

Once the list is complete, sobered up and discussed and debated, i.e. finished, I will email it to the model kit companies.

Great idea, Christian! That's letting them know what we want straight up!!

[Junkman]

Sure, cheers. But before it happens, we must debate, because only debate will lead to reason in the end.

[Darin Bastedo]

As far as 50's buicks go...I'll take anything that can form the basis for this. This actually several years of buick mixed.

I'll also take a kit of a Mercury Breezeway please...

[bbowser]

WOW! Love that blue Buick. The Merc ain't bad.

[Rob Hall]

I'd like to see a stock '50 Buick..that grille/bumper treatment is so wild.

(though a custom-only '50 Buick kit could be a good companion piece for Revell's '48 Ford and '49 Mercury customs).

We know that some of the kit makers look at stuff on this board, with a few of their professional associates participating here, as well as others. May I suggest, Christian, if you're assembling the information, that it would be good to set a deadline, put together a top ten, even a top 20 list, and open it up to a poll. That would supply the kit makers with at least a bit of numerical data for decision-making. I don't know if this site has software to make it possible for voters to submit their top 5, but maybe there's an off-site mechanism for voting that can make that possible.

Hey, this is a free focus group of enthusiasts for the kit companies, and I bet we could get Moebius to beat everyone to the punch with a bullet-nose Studebaker.

Let's continue to collect suggetions until Sunday evening. I will then publish the compiled list on Monday, so everybody can look it over and select his favourites.

I will not include some wild customs posted in here of which the base models are already on the list. One can always customize a stock model, but one cannot build a stock model from a pre-fab custom.

Oh, and then someone should probably start compiling a truck list. The concept of being enthusiastic about a light truck is completely lost on a European, so - with regret - I can't do it.

And entirely btw., if Moebius hasn't got the message regarding the '51 Studebaker yet, then it's a lost cause anyway.

All we need to do is get a finalized list from Christian, then he sets up a poll. We all vote, we tally up the votes and we see what the top requested kits are.
