Chuck Most Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 gotta agree with reissuing this though...drop the drippy decals and do a desert version. jb Yeah- the decals were a horror show. The result of residual polyester poisoning from the '70's, perhaps?
mr moto Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 One that I've been wanting is the AMT (actually tooled up by MPC) 1965 Dodge Coronet. Unlike the Polar Lights kit of that car, the body actually looks like the real thing.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I like the decals on that Land Rover.... It's different, but cool.
disabled modeler Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Just one. AMT's Open Road camper van. Scott I love that one...got a rough build up missing a lot...bummer.
DrGlueblob Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 If I could choose but one, it'd be the Pyro Vespa scooter.
GMP440 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Would love to see a reissue of the MPC 68 Coronet R/T. We almost got one a few years ago. Edited December 19, 2014 by GMP440
Snake45 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Would love to see a reissue of the MPC 68 Coronet R/T. We almost got one a few years ago. Me too. Better looking car than the '69.
atomicholiday Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I LOVE it if they'd do one of these again. '74, '75, '76. Any (or all) of those years would be just fine with me.
unclescott58 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 If your going to make it a Firebird. Make it a '70, '71, or '72 Formula 400. Scott

michaelbaskett Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 1/4 Scale Chrysler Slant Six from Revell.... This one has been gone for a long time....

Tom Geiger Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 1/4 Scale Chrysler Slant Six from Revell.... This one has been gone for a long time.... Makes ya wonder if they still have the bones of this one. Would be very difficult to bring back since there were lots of different metal parts, light strings etc included in this kit. I do have most of one.
jbwelda Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Merit Lotus XI and improved with nicer wire wheels and reshaping of part of the nose. oh and without the raised panel lines please, still haven't gotten up the courage to try to apply some lines (decals?) to this one. as it is you cant really even see the raised ones but they were there! jb Edited December 20, 2014 by jbwelda

Unfortunately I could never afford that and with us being forced into having to file bankruptcy it will be quite awhile till I can get anything. I just hope and pray to be able to keep the disabled builders group going for them...I might have to give it up cant afford to get them anything Edited December 20, 2014 by disabled modeler

Since the late 90's it's also become a fashion accessory, to portray the adventurous to those who like the theme but in a concrete jungle setting. And then the French license plates on a iconic British vehicle, they fought wars for less there ;^) Anyway, that kit, if the tooling is still there needs a overhaul, better wheels and tires (option off and on road) a roll-bar extra doors for topless (no not that kind) driving and some neat off road accessories like a winch, tread plates and real looking gas cans.

Greg Myers Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Nice build William, the purse outa the sow's ear. The complete series would be nice, i.e. the Vanwall.

Our company could do the wiring harness if Revell called us.
Drake69 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Easy for me... the Dodge Demon.... A factory Maverick.... And a nice 2-in-1 hearse....
