lizardlust Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 It is surprising, given the number of resin conversion kits offered in the past and STILL being created today, that Revell hasn't seen fit to modify some of their Fox Mustang tooling to offer an 87-92 LX notchback coupe!! A GM "Colonnade" 73-77 intermediate offering should sell well - perhaps if Revell expanded the 77 Monte Carlo to a full-detail offering of a Cutlass or Grand Am from that era? And, given their continued popularity, wouldn't a Ford pickup from the 60-66 and/or 67-72 generation move quickly from the shelves?? My two cents!!
Spike Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 ive got to say the 89 caddy hearse,any of the new caddy escalades,the 04 caddy escalade esv,and any 80's regals you can EASILY convert a grand national into a regal

junkman9096 Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 The most popular car NOT modeled: 67-68 Mustang Notchback! I mean everyone's Aunt Betty had one. Everything but the body already exists (see AMT 67 Fastback). How about a new tool 1969 Mustang? A current model F-150 and Silverado, to say nothing about a Dodge Ram. How about a Prius to mount under the Ram .
marinewifejones Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I am just curios to see what ppl liked, I got few more posts in my head somewhere theres something in your head? I always thought it was empty I want an 08 Dodge Grand Caravan (i already found the sunburst orange paint) I would also like to see an '89 VW Cabrio and an '89 Ford Bronco 2 (those may be out there somewhere i just havent seen them but those are my 2 favorite cars i have had in the past other than my current Grand Caravan) So 89 was a good year for me when it came go cars

LVZ2881 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 the Revell '79 Z28 is an early 80's tool, and not very well detailed compared to modern kits... good luck finding the dodge monster truck!
Spike Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 someone on layitlow.com has one,,,i just gotta remember who it was
charlie8575 Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I see a lot of good ideas here. We definitely need more independents; my dad and I would probably buy a case of Hawks between us; I'd like a Studebaker Wagonaire. Actually, a Jeep Grand Wagoneer would be cool, too! I hadn't thought of a LaSalle, but I'd certainly buy one or two, especially if they have different bodies available. Or the casters stepped up and offered varieties...after all, I'll need chassis and running gear. A contemporary hearse would be nice. I also like the idea of a first or second generation Cherokee. I'll bet a good Solstice kit would sell well, too. Some other newer cars that might be worth thinking about. 1991-96 Saturn. Not a pretty car, but a very significant one that still has a loyal following amongst owners and even some car buffs that like to race them. A newer Lincoln Town Car. A 1988-97 Olds Cutlass Supreme coupe- probably one of the better-looking cars G.M. had in the time. The sedan wasn't bad-looking, either. A 1997-2004 Buick Park Avenue. Some of the newer Cadillacs with stock-building options, Revell's got the bulk of the tooling done, might as well go all the way! A 1978-87 Pontiac Grand Prix. I always liked those cars, nice looking machines, especially the LE and LJ models with the extra chrome and when ordered with Rally II wheels. Two-tone blue with a white landau top and blue buckets for me, please... Just a few more ideas. Charlie Larkin

crispy Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Alright, I've narrowed it down and I'm going to keep on posting it. McLaren F1 Thank you. Chris
CAL Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Alright, I've narrowed it down and I'm going to keep on posting it. McLaren F1 Thank you. Chris Yeah, I feel the same way about a Porsche 550 RSR Spyder
charlie8575 Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 they made a 77 volare with the roadrunner package,do some searchin on ebay, i got one for $42. but i would like to see a wagon molded on a side not i would like to see,,,, 82-87 chrysler fifth avenue 70-71 dodge d-100 sweptline 78-78 dodge magnum chrysler cordobas 55 dodge royal (i think thats what its called) 1st gen dodge neon 77-78 chrysler new yorker Those would all work, too. The 1955 Dodges had three models, Coronet, Royal and Custom Royal. R&R makes a 1955 Custom Royal Lancer (2-door h/t,) it looks like a promo copy, but it's a start. Anyone here built that one? I was thinking of one myself. I think they also have a 1955 or '56 Sierra (Dodge's wagons.) Charlie Larkin
crispy Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Did I forget to mention: McLaren F1 Thank You. Chris
OLDERGUY Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 To many to list here. I did get Revell to do the 37 Ford club cab, 40 Ford convert, didn't like the way they did the windshields though, they left the double glass, which I think is the main charater of the two. I not sure I'm the only person responsible, but I sure called a lot, that was when you could talk to a PERSON, at R&M.

Smart-Resins Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Well, I do not recall seeing a nice 1923 C-cab panel or pick up? Of course building primarily in 1/16, I really want to see one of those as well as a nice model T bucket. Maybe I will have to work on those?? Also would like to see a 1955 Chevy truck in 1/16 and a 1968 Firebird and a 1968 Ford Cougar as well in that scale and last but not least, 1932 Highboy? Anyone else with me in 1/16? Jody
crispy Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Ok, McLaren F1 And, everything on Bob's list, that ought to do it...... Chris
