Why would the Regal be a waste of time? They have the tooling, all it really needs is the parts I listed. They took the '86 Monte SS and altered the tooling to make the '87 AeroCoupe, only to change it back to the notchback. Seems to me it would only make the Grand National tooling more profitable.

MPC never made a '76 Grand Prix. The last Grand Prix to be made into a kit was the '72. The "Superfly" was just a modified version of the '72, and I'm sure that mold is too far gone to be brought back.

What's wrong with the resin ones? Price! The only people that don't want to see this kit made into a new tool kit are the ones that have paid $100+ for the old AMT kit, and the ones who have paid for the resin. Plus, not everyone likes or wants to work with resin. Why should the more experienced builders, and the ones with deeper pockets be the only ones able to build these cars?



I should have listed the '66, '69, and '71 through '75 just for shits n giggles.

cause even the most noob of modelers can do a simple GN to regal conversion.

i wouldnt mind a superfly reissue

you gotta pay if you want to build some cars will always cost more than others. i rather see a box chevy or a 55 cadillac.

True, the Regal conversion is easy. But what about the chrome bumpers? What about the builders that can't afford to get chrome plating done, or don't have an air-brush and can't use Alclad? Like I said, It would be easy for Revell to do, and they would sell. I'd buy a few.

Yeah, you gotta pay if you want to build some cars. But wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to?

You say you want a box Chevy? Me too! Why not get one from the Modelhaus?

how about an avalanche kit? I havent seen one. I do think I saw a snap together one, not worth a crap though.

Anyone else sent in their suggestions?

If you have, let us know what you suggested. It would be interesting to see what you guys want.

There have been a few die-casts. The closest thing in plastic would be the AMT Escalade EXT.

i asked for more mini trucks a re released s10 and a couple of 4x4's

MORE WAGONS..

Toyota tacoma
chevy colorado

parts packs.. sell the rims, engines and all the goodies from kits already out.. i hate buying a damn kit for an engine..

colorado would make a nice lowrider mini truck.

Great idea, but, I think that's the whole idea. They WANT you to buy extra kits just for the parts.

got it but a full detail kit would be nice

I don't think the Regal would work out. If the bumpers aren't on a tree that can be completely plated, then it's too expensive to move it on the tool or make a separate tree just to plate it.

I'm pushing for the Cutlass simply because there is already progress on it since the test shot was made.

i put down a late 80's four door caprice, 93-96 fleetwood cadillac, 90-99 lincoln town car

I SUGESSTED A 78 79 OR 80 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS.!!!

90-92 cadillac Brougham, 2000-2007 mercedes s500-s600,
