jbwelda Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 man I wish someone somewhere would acquire the ScaleKraft catalogue and repop them! I wonder what happened to the molds and/or originals? he had some beautiful rare stuff as Maxx and I agree. jb
khier Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 '68 Chevy Bel Air This one (Well, a Biscayne) is available as 2 DR Sedan form MCW.

I wonder what happened to the molds and/or originals? he had some beautiful rare stuff as Maxx and I agree. jb I'll give it x3 on the ScaleKraft catalog - but include some re-pops from UMi and MiniExotics. Show cars rarely get done - so how about the Mustang I prototype - the two seat mid-engine that started the name? and the Mustang Giugiaro Mustang Milano Bertone Carabo Saleen S7 Cadillac Northstar LMP
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I know I'm the odd man, but I would like to see a 66 Plymouth Belvedere/ Satellite. This could be a variation of the 67 GTX.
jbwelda Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 how about a nicely proportioned Cadillac XLR to convert a late model corvette kit? ive go the flintstone one and it looks like a diecast (from which it originated I believe) jb
Motor City Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I've been lucky to have 1/25th models made of five of the cars I've owned or still own, but none of the following. Has anyone made any of these in resin? 1976 Regal coupe 1977 Eldorado Biarritz 1989 Riviera 2000-2005 Monte Carlo SS
om617 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 G-body cutlass. 85/87.. Wish I could find one. Try Angel Acosta on Facebook. He got lot`s of cool and unusual subjects,G-body`s as well.
Ramfins59 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I'd love to find a good casting of a 1950 Buick. Too bad Modelhaus only makes the grille.
dimaxion Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I'd love to find a good casting of a 1950 Buick. Too bad Modelhaus only makes the grille.While under the list of missed opportunities : I just missed the '50 Buick 4 dr. Sedan offered in the Early days of resin . After long term saving I had the money and sent the caster the MO . BTW it arrived the week after he quit casting this one .Thanx ..
om617 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I'd love to find a good casting of a 1950 Buick. Too bad Modelhaus only makes the grille. If you like wagons i belive All American Models makes one,and it is a woodie-ish if not mistaken.
Ramfins59 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 All American Models is no longer in business. It was a resin casting company by Art Anderson.
om617 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 All American Models is no longer in business. It was a resin casting company by Art Anderson. I must have mistaken it for somthing else. I swear i did see several types of wagons using the Revell 49 Olds as donor on ebay. It could have been a Pontiac maby.

Motor City Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 As far as GM intermediates go, the '64-'72 are considered the most desirable because of their styling and performance. The '73-'77 models have better handling, and the '78-'87 (and '88 Monte Carlo) handle even better. I agree that cars from the '70s and '80s would appeal to younger modelers as this is the era they grew up in. I would start with a '73 442, '74 GS, '76 Regal or Century coupe, '77 Can Am, '78 Magnum, '77-'79 Ranchero GT, and a Ranchero GT from '70 or '72. I would also think a Mark III, IV or V would do well. For the '80s, a Monte Carlo SS in 1/25th would sell. Most of the '80s cars were forgettable, though I own two from that decade (El Camino and Riviera).
Snake45 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 63-64 Chevy II Nova sedan Yes, please. I like these better than the hardtops, and more of them seem to have been used in drag racing.
