Tamiya ask you to pick three cars for their next 1/24 scale kits, what would you pick.

[Gerrardandrews]

My selection would be.

1. Mercedes 280, 1970,

2. XJ 5,3 jaguar, 1973,

3. Morris Minor,

I could think of a great deal more, but the above would be very nice, Think the Morris would sell like hot cakes.

[rs2man]

Ford Escort Mk II Group 4 rally car

Ford Escort Mk II RS2000

Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Litre Series 1

[shood23]

Personally I'd like to see some more 1/20 f1 cars from them first 

Ferrari sf70h, redbull rb9, Ferrari f2004, 

Ferrari sf15t, Ferrari f2008, Merc w05/06/07. Toro Rosso str12.

 

In 1/24. Porsche 917/10 or 917/30, jaguar xjr14 and a Mercedes clr (the one that flipped in lemans 1999) or a Bentley speed 8. Basically any winning/interesting racing car lol.

Where do we officially vote? I do like a referendum Do I have to build a wall around my stash

I will definately go for a Morris Minor...

But then ask for something a bit more exotic, like a Maserati 3500GT or one of the early Lamborghini's....

(definately nothing with a Ferrari Badge  )

 

But in reality...

- Bugatti Veyron 

- Lancia Beta Monte Carlo

- Triumph Spitfire

[MikeGTC]

Hmm, for me a

 

Mclaren P1 , so we have the LaFerrari and 918 trio

Mclaren 675 LT

Any of the newer Ferrari's... Want new Ferrari kits

 

I'm not really into building old cars...

[richellis]

sherpa van, bedford CF, or a new transit/ sprinter/modern van

 

lets also think maybe montego, allegro, rover sd1

like the 'normal' over exotic stuff!

[injidup]

Lotus Elise S1

McLaren F1 (Road car)

Modern Le Mans Audi or Porsche (Or maybe even one of the junior formula cars)

 

And on bikes -  1/12 Britten V1000 and Ducati Hypermotard 939 please.

Probably a better chance of Ebbro making some of these, rather than Tamiya!

I'd really like to see Ebbro come up with some 1/12 scale F1 cars.

[Thud4444]

There isn't a snowball's chance but-

 

A Sunbeam Tiger,

A 88 Isuzu Impulse, 

and a 62 Buick LeSabre.

 

And as a alternative choice,  a series 1 Mitsubishi Ellipse with the option to build it with pop up lights and any of the original tri star models.

[Grumpy Modeller]

Caterham 7 (racing version)

Jaguar Project 7

Lotus Exige

[rio]

Ford Cortina mk4

Ford sierra 1.8l

Ford focus 1.6

No need to build a wall. After the vote your stash will be worth almost nothing.

[mbdesignart]

Wouldn't there be more chance for vehicles that have various versions on the same body or part thereof. Bound to be more mileage in those for Tamiya and the modeller.

 

Morris Minor- saloon, van, traveller, pick-up. Plenty of racing and custom possibilities too. [There are a few votes for this already]

Newer Transit - various van body sizes, pick-ups, mini bus, car transporter.

Land Rover Defender - numerous versions possible.

As per previous post where do we vote, post kit wish list? I can't find anything on the Tamiya website. It's of little use adding to this discussion if it is just idle speculation.

I would think Revell will pick up on the Minor, it's shouting, tool me, and I will make money for your company.

kit makers have maybe missed their chance for 60s every day vehicles, but the 70s, will have plenty of mouth watering topics, Cortina Mk 4, would do well, and daft as it sounds, Marina, can also think of a few Vans

😊

[Ian Suds]

My first would have to be-

Renaultsport Megane 250 ( Because I love all things Renault Sport)

something older--

Austin A70 Hampshire  ( Because my dad had one )

 

Ford Cortina MkIV  ( Because it was a good idea from rio )

 

[theplasticsurgeon]

Porsche 917 Gulf at Le Mans (or the film).

Lotus 72 Gold Leaf car.

Opel Manta 400 Rothmans rally car.

 

Let me know when I can buy them.

 

 

[Admiral Puff]

Any '50s Grand Prix car

Any '50s sports car (think Jaguar D Type, Aston-Martin DBR-3, Birdcage Maserati, etc)

Morris 1000 (with Traveller option)

MG-A (with Twin Cam option)

Holden Monaro

Ebbro Lotus 72 plus Tabu Gold Leaf decals already exists.

I imagine the same for the 917 but from Fujimi.

 

Some very underwhelming choices here. I know it's all wishful thinking but Cortinas????

[Hamster Volant]

Oh well...

• Toyota BJ43 (because I owned one)
• Ford Ranger Double Cab model 2016 or 2017 (because it'll be my next car)
• Matra Simca Rancho (because it's the first SUV, when it was not called that)
