What do you wish was available in large scale kits?

[clovis]

Just wondering what you would like to see manufactured in large scale kits.

I wish that a '47 through late 1950's pick up truck was available in either Chevy or Ford in 1/16th.

Since we are dreaming here, I wish that some of the mid-1960's muscle cars were being kitted in 1/16. A '62 through '64 Impala with an SS option or a '64 through "67 Pontiac GTO with a Tempest and Le mans option would be stellar.

What do you wish was offered?

[disabled modeler]

1970 to 81 Trans Am

69,70,73,74 GTO

70 Plymouth Superbird

and others

[Dragline]

A current Funny Car or Top Fueler in 1/16th. That'll happen when I simultaneously hit the Lotto and start dating Zooey Deschanel.

Both HIGHLY unlikely.

Bob

[cobraman]

A 1/8 AC Cobra. I know, it ain't never going to happen.

[Red rocket 10]

Id love to see a 1/16 scale 67 Nova or 68 Camaro and 2015 Z06............

Leonard

[kitbash1]

Reissue of the 1/12th scale Paxton Turbine indy car. Dream on.

[MonoPed]

1/8 scale Cobras (289, 427 and Daytona Coupe)

1/8 XKE ragtop

1/8 '65 Mustang fastback

1/8 69 or 70 Mustang fastback

[deuces wild]

A 1/8 AC Cobra. I know, it ain't never going to happen.

There's a few out there in that scale.. Not sure who manufactured them though..

[deuces wild]

I'd love to see the return of the Monogram "Big Drag" kit.. I do have 2 of the 1963 vintage kits in my stash...

[LDO]

The 1/8 Cobra is 3-D printed by TDR/Shape ways and costs hundreds if dollars, maybe over 1k.

I would like to see a 1/8 scale '29 Ford roadster or Tudor sedan, either as an all new tool or as a modified reissue of the Big Deuce; just a new body for the deuce frame.

I think a 1/6 scale Suzuki Hayabusa would be an awesome addition to Tamiya's big bike lineup. Lots of different ways to build that one.

[jbwelda]

I just plain wish there was more selection in engines and running gear in 1/8 scale. stuff that could be used with the current monogram line. reissue of the big drag definitely. maybe even some Ferrari or other exotics in 1/8 scale.

There are both GM and Ford products in 1/12 scale (though there could always be more!), but I'd really like to see a MOPAR product in 1/12 scale, such as a version of the new Cuda that Revell put out recently.

[Jaguar man 21]

I'd love to a large scale land rover or jaguar d type

[cobraman]

I did know about that Cobra but was thinking more of one that most people could afford.

[kennb]

I build in 16th scale and I build my wish list. Mostly 50"s GM, Ford, and Dodge........I also have amassed a collection of molds to build any engine I need for them,

I have made 57 and 55 Chevy's into Buick's, Oldsmobile's, Fords ect..... I find it very satisfying to build what I like instead of just what it there. Most of the conversions are really simple and believable......something most people that have modified any kit can do.

[jbwelda]

> jaguar d type

what he said^^^

and a Maserati typo 60/61 Birdcage while you are at it. any scale but boy would 1/8th be sweet!!!

I guess 1/8 scale might give you some chance to build the chassis framework (and before anyone posts it, yes I have seen that fantastic teeny-tiny scale one with the photoetch "birdcage"). But if servicing a 1:1 required cutting out the odd tube and welding it back, the instructions for a 1/8th had better be a peach!

Personally, I think I'd go with 1/12th -- I've got the big Airfix Bentley, and it feels like a nice compromise between 1/16th (a bit too small for a "big boy") and 1/8th (just too big)

I'd like an E-Type as well; a DB4GT, an XK120, a 250SWB and GTO, and Alfa Tipo 33 Stradale, a Bentley Continental S1 Mulliner Coupe, a BMW 507... you get the gist...

bestest,

M.

I would like to see a 16th scale Cheetah and Ed Roth's Road Agent in 8th Scale!

[FineModelCars]

My next 1/8 project is:

And

[Hawk312]

1/12 scale `70 -`72 Chevelle, Olds 442, Buick GSX, or Super Duty Trans Am (lots of options if combined with the Corvette and Camaro kits)

1/12 Hemi or AAR Cuda, `70 Challenger T/A

1/12 69 Mustang, or maybe a `67 with optional "Elaenor" parts?

1/12 `63 corvette, maybe converted from the `67 kit with small block parts from the Camaro kit?

1/8 Trans Am re-release!

Above converted into a `77-`78 Trans Am, or a `77-`81 Z28

It would be cool if Revell would modify their 1/16 Firebird GTA into a third gen Firehawk, and the 1/16 IROC-Z into a `91-`92 Z28

Would also be cool if they would convert the 1/8 IROC kit into a GTA or Firehawk, or maybe even a formula?

Any 4th gen f-body, especially a Camaro SS, Trans Am WS-6 or firehawk, in say 1/12?

Large scale 2014 Corvette!

1/12 Revell `57 Chevy kit converted to a `56 or `55

ACCURATE large scale Ferrari 288 GTO

[pharoah]

1/8th scale -

Any C1 Corvette

VW Beetle - No,not the new ones

32-34 Ford PIckup

50 Chevy Pickup

49-51 Ford Coupe ,Sedan, Convertible,wagon

I know,not going to happen..

[Jordan White]

1/12 scale `70 -`72 Chevelle, Olds 442, Buick GSX, or Super Duty Trans Am (lots of options if combined with the Corvette and Camaro kits)

If you were willing to spend a couple hundred bucks, check eBay for the Doyusha '73 Trans Am. It has some inaccuracies due to liberties taken so it could potentially be motorized, but otherwise it builds up into a nice kit with opening everything, working steering, and working suspension. It could probably easily be modified to be a Trans Am SD.

1/12 Scale ~ ~

[Misha]

Since Monogram has released the Deuce and T- Bucket in 1/8 scale, I would like them to repop the engine kit with all the various options. It been tempting to get an original, yet the price remains a bit high. Is this mold still available? It would spurn some more sales for the other two kits!

Cheers Misha
