What is your most wanted kit?
Posted by Gordon D. King on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 10:30 PM

Megan McChain from FSM has posted what is your most wanted kit in the aircraft section but not in this one. My most wanted automotive kits are a Triumph TR-6 and the Tucker. And I would mind seeing a kit of the original Camaro, the 1967 model. Anyone else have favorite car kits they would like to see produced?

Yes sir, a 1967 - 72 Ford pickup. Preferably a short bed, style side Ranger XLT with an FE motor. A 4WD option would be nice IMO.  Never understood why that truck was never kitted since the 67 - 72 Chevy was.

I know this could go in the armor section, but I would really like to see a Mercedes G4 staff car in 1/35 and larger scales. This is the car with the double drive axles. I just think it looks cool. maybe I'm just a little weird.                                                                                                    Ken

I would love to see a Tucker, a Dodge Mirada, and a CHEVY CAPRICE 9C1 from the 80's. It's one of the longest and most widely used police cars and there's never been anything offered! Also, that Ford P/U wasn't a bad idea either! A Dodge from those years would be nice too! Also, a Jeep Cherokee (regular style). You guys can see I haven't put much thought into that topic, could you?

I love the Chevy Camaro.  If Revell made a new 2010 Camaro kit, that's not the "concept" version, I would be thrilled.  I know there is one of those "concept" kits floating around. 

Maybe some of the new style pick up trucks too.

I'd like to see a 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria. Enough of the old obsolete 1956 AMT kit to model the most beautiful Fords ever.

I believe a kit was offered, kill me if I remember whom, in 1/35 scale by a resin manufacturer.

 

Personally, I'd love to see a 1/24, with full engine detail, Mclaren F1 road car.

I would love to see a kit of the 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback.  Has anyone seen one around?

AMT and Revell have both produced '69 Mach 1 kits--I'm not sure how good the tools were, though. AMT also produced a 1:43 Mustang 2+2. I had one a long while ago, and it was decent, but I can't remember the last time I saw one of those.

My most-wanted car kit is a Mark I Mini with left-hand-drive!

In progress: Hasegawa P-51D/K (being built as a D), Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper 1275S, Testors Kaman H-43B Huskie (held up by lack of parts)

To be resumed sooner or later: Academy M151A2 with Eduard photo-etch

For my most wanted auto kit?  I'm not real sure, but there are is at least 4 or so I would like to see:

  1. 2002 Ford F-150 (I posted a thred asking if anyone knew of any manufacturer who made any kits, but since it is a newer style, I'm taking a shot in the dark that no one has make a kit)
  2. 65th anniversery Jeep Grand Cherokee (my father has one, and I would like to have a scale model of one)
  3. 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan (again, another car in my family)

 

Now, for a semi-military; semi-vehicle pick:

  1. 1/24-1/25 scale or 1/6 scale M-35 2 1/2 ton military truck
  2. 1/24-1/25 scale or 1/6 scale Humvee

These vehicles are not in my family's 3 car fleet, but I see them on a daily basis, as I live close to a military base, and convoys of M-35s and Humvees are quite common.

Well not to change the idea of the thread I will need the new Arifix 1/24 Mosquito for the Canadian units decal set I purchased from Squadron.

As for new kits I would like to see a older (50's) D7 Catapillar dozer in a larger scale with conversion sets (like the real deal) to make variants of Pipelayers (17A) Included options for ripper and winch attachments. As for the Pipelayer options for a stringing boom, counter weights and different length main winch booms. All live draw works of course. Another neat option would be a 'pup' motor starter engine or a converted one to electric.

I wouldn't mind seeing a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 in a convertible.  It would look nice between the 69 Camaro RS and the 67 Corvette Stingray

Much to my surprise, a Google search failed to turn up a resin Chevelle convertible body. I'll second the nod, and additionally suggest a '70 El Camino SS with the LS-6 and M-22.

'57 Royal Lancer comes to mind immediately.

I remember a Collectible Automobile article from 1993 or thereabouts that featured the 1957-1959 Dodge. One car seen in that article was a 1958 (if memory serves correctly) Dodge in bronze and black. A very striking car.

No certain order but here's my thoughts:

1. 1951 Hudson Hornet with Twin H Power

2. a 1927 Mod. T roadster done right

3. all Plymouths from 1962 thru 1965 with a removable top to create a two hardtop or two door sedan

4. an A.J. Watson Indy roadster complete with engine and suspension

5. some of the old Indy cars from the 1930's

A proper '72 Plymouth Road Runner.

A well-tooled "Pierre Cardin" AMX Javelin

The Honda Accord series

more 1970's era Indy cars--Al & Bobby Unser, Mario Andretti, A J Foyt, Mark Donohue, etc...

Couldn't agree more on that Gurney eagle, probably one of the best looking F1 cars to ever come out, Mind as well add the Ferrari 156 Sharknose too though while were at it !
