Get your creative mind in gear with the following question:

[chunkypeanutbutter]

AMT's Streetle Beetle, or Revell's Barris Beetle with the Rolls grille.

[johnbuzzed]

The AMT '41 Plymouth. A better small-block would be nice, and mold the grille surround with the body.

[1972coronet]

AMT 1971 Duster 340 :

- Corrections to its glass (especially the windshield and backlight !)

- Different pulley arrangements ( non-A/C , A/C with power steering , non-A/C with power steering)

- Torqueflite

- Headers

- Side Pipes

- Period correct custom wheels and tyres

MPC 1971 Road Runner :

- Add the 1972 R.R. parts , effectively making the kit a two-in-one !

- Backdate the wheels to the original's Cragar S/S

- Full compliment of decals

- Instructions on bahing / interfacing the old MPC tooling with the relatively-new AMT 1971 Charger

[pharoah]

I just thought of 2 related kits I would love to see updated.

AMT1967-72 Chevy pickup with a detailed frame/chassis

AMT 1972 GMC Stepside with the same. A short bed Fleetside would be nice too.

Maybe I want more in dept investigation, it's a bit more involving and when done right, with input from everyone here in this" forum of knowledge" we may end up with very detailed and interesting possible tool variant, one everybody wanted but always forgot to ask for.

Hope I'm making sense, if not, blame it on the language barrier LOL

But when talking '71 Cyclone, what parts are we talking about?

The Cyclone MPC is about to release can only be built as a NASCAR race car. A.K.A. a stock car. So I should have been more clear. The version I would like to see could be built "stock" as it appeared on a Lincoln-Mercury show floor back in 1970 or '71. The original MPC Cyclone kits from both 1970 and '71 could be built either way.

AMT's Streetle Beetle, or Revell's Barris Beetle with the Rolls grille.

I just want the '40 Ford hood and grille from the Streetle Beetle to put on a more realalistic Beetle kit.

.....'41 Plymouth: Sedan delivery. Woody......

it's resin. and not wood. but it is available as a transkit from http://www.motorcityresincasters.com/41plymouthSedanDelivery.htm

[Fabrux]

Here's a couple options I'd like to see:

-Restore tooling to include a stock flathead V-8 engine option

-Modify tooling to build a 1952 F-1

MPC 81-87 GM Pickup

-Two separate reissues: full-width bed and stepside bed

-Stock suspension building options: 4x4 and 4x2

-Include all extant grilles; should be 81-82 Chevrolet, 81-82 GMC, and 83-84 GMC

-Bucket seats and bench

(all these building options should be able to be issued with existing tooling and no modifications)

MPC/AMT 88-98 GM Pickup

-GMC Grille

-Full detail 4x4 suspension

-Full detail extended cab kit

-Front bench seat interior

-Glue kit with 95+ interior

man maybe I should have thought harder those are all rock solid ^^^^^

[jbwelda]

how about the Revell Orange Crate, but with all new tool parts or somehow to clean up the incredible amount of flashing especially on the chrome tree. so, in summary, at least the chrome tree retooled to be crisp and sharp.

amt/mpc: a proper fall guy gmc pickup

revell: convert the '66 elcamino to a '67

[ZTony8]

Revell '67 GTX kit-a 2 door sedan with Belvidere level trim and a bench seat(same for the '67 Coronet).

AMT '62 Chevy- a 2 door sedan body.

AMT '67 Impala- a '68 body and interior.

Revell '55 Chevy-a 2 door sedan in any trim level.

Revell '56 Chevy-a 2 door hardtop( and scrap the awful Monogram 1/24th version) in any trim level.

Revell '66 Chevy- a convertible or 2 door sedan

AMT '71 Duster- do a Scamp hardtop or do a Dart Swinger hardtop or a Dodge Demon.

Revell '72 Cutlass-a '70 or '71 SX hardtop or a 70-72 coupe

Which existing kits would you buy again if certain newly tooled parts were added?

(And yes I know very well, there's something like the resin aftermarket)

- Amt '71 Charger.

if Round2 tools up a new grille with hidden headlamps, rearbumper with the std. taillamps and Daisy spoke mag wheels on fat tires (optional sidepipes)

-Monogram '69 Super Bee:

New flat or power bulge hood,slight rake and 70s Keystone klassic wheels on fat tires

Small note, it's better to list 2 or so and name the parts, that need to be added or reworked, then list a whole slew of possible all new projects, if you would look at them from a cost and tooling design perspective.

A rule of tumb is that every cavity costs $1000 and every part except the body have at least two.

So try to come up with something exiting new without breaking the bank.

Thanks!!

Would definitely get the Charger again anyway. It was an awesome kit. I'd like for it to have options for the other years, though. Also one of the flat hoods would be nice. Would it be too much trouble to ask for the non "Air Grabber" hoods on the Mopars?

[unclescott58]

Forgot a big one. AMT's GMC Astro 95 with the gas turbine engine.
