There is recently IIRC a Japan small production resin kit in 1/24 scale of the modern Elise, I'd have to search to find the name of who's making it, but I do recall seeing the kit completed and cast copies

Would love [this] in plastic or resin : 70 Duster , Thanks

A Transkit would work for a 1970 Duster :

- 1970 grille (the Sharktooth grille was 1971-1972 only)

- 1970 upholstery

- Carter AVS carburetor

- 1970-only stripes

However , an all-new plastic kit would be the best bet ( Moebius ? Revell ? )

Yes either Ford Capri Mk1 will be great. There was one a Ford Capri RS2600 form Automobile Miniatures offered here in Germany, but thats history.

Speaking about of European Ford what about a

Ford Transit MK1, specially the Supervan 1 Version (Yes it is a light commercial)

Ford Granada/Consul Mk1 including the station wagon

Ford Cortina/Taunus TC

Ford P100 pickup

1959 - 1961 Ford Taunus 17m P2

Or something from down under

Leyland P76

Ford XB Ute

Yes to all and I would actually buy each one.

I take the liberty to add something from over beyond:

Rover P6

ADO16, preferrably in MG 1100 and/or VDP flavours

Armstrong-Siddeley Sapphire 346

A Hooper Empress saloon - doesn't matter which chassis, would prefer a Daimer, though.

A Daimler 250 transkit for the Tamiya Jag MKII

A Jaguar MKI transkit for the same

Daimler Dart

Bristol 405

And from over where you are, how about some old Opels?

Rekord, Kapitän, Admiral, Diplomat, for example.

Also, fintail and W108/109 S-class Mercs.

VW 411/412, K70.

Some of the bubble cars we didn't see yet, like the

Heinkel Kabine, Zündapp Janus, Victoria Spatz, Fuldamobil, Goggomobil Coupe

Tempo and Goliath three wheeler

Borgward Isabella saloon

DKW 3=6

From the land of Pommes Frites

Delahaye with Saoutchik coachwork

Bucciali TAV8-32 "Fleche d'Or"

Any early postwar Hotchkiss saloon

Talbot Lago Record saloon transkit for the Heller kit

Peugeot 403 (Columbo's car)

Renault 16

Renault 17

Renault Floride/Caravelle

Citroen SM

Citroen 11CV transkit for the Heller 15/6

How about the Buddy L Texaco station? Prices for those have hit the stratosphere. Even replicating parts from it could be lucrative - the gas pumps, islands, tire rack, oil cans, rest room sign, grease rack - it all would sell to collectors, plus diorama builders would want those items without having to shell out for the MRC kit.

Yes please to all of the above, although I'd like my ADO16 in Riley flavour please. However, I'm pretty sure that AirTrax have done a resin ADO16 in the past? If steel wheels are needed for modifying Jag Mk2s, then the Revell XK120 is an excellent hub cap donor (I'm using them for an AirTrax Mk10 / 420G & the XK120 will probably become a racer & so running just plain steels).

I'd like to add a Riley RM, Jensen Interceptor (& its FF sibling) and the William Towns designed Lagonda to the list as well. If I ever have time, I'll make these last ones myself!
