D1fuN0 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hiya Chaps Welcome to our very own little front room, No yappin on here about wingy things, floating things, foody things and other such inane non-important rubbish. Here, you can wander around in your Y-fronts, eat beans from the tin, have the odd chemical warfare blast and not have to blame the dog and most importantly, waffle on about car models and stuff and actually get some stuff built... For openers Round 2 is re releasing.... Excellento kit!!!!! aaaaaaand go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 That looks like fun. Takes me right back to the 60's when there were loads of these custom kits around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for my 'two-'pennorth', WHEN are Airfix going to release some new cars ????!!!! I'll be following. but Roy, they did... we have just had a 'Brand New' VW Beetle....(sarcasm sign). I managed the other day,after much wrangling to get my hands on an Airfix Beach Buggy and a Toyota 2000GT. Just the smell from those boxes.... I think Airfix need to re release the whole bloody lot of cars again, really would like a Marina (never thought id say that out loud) S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Steve! Wash your mouth out! Have you seen the prices for that Buggy on the bay? Madness. But I'd like both of those again. Much as I'd like to go back to car kits, I'm having too much fun with sci fi. And time (& eyesight) is getting short. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I like the look of the Ebbro releases coming next month, Lotus 49b and Tyrrell 002. Got to get their 72C too... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I would love to have a large scale VW Type 3, preferably a Fastback but any model Type 3 will be a good start . One day I may have a look at the possibilities of having to build one of my own but that is a long way off yet. All the bestChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Maybe the "new-build" Lightweights will encourage someone to produce a state of the art 1/24 E-type... Bestest, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Those 1/24 ICM kits look like serious attempts at detail and accuracy. I just find the subjects too obscure for my taste. War era stuff (especially German not my cup-however they just did a 1913 'T'. Love to see a line of '30's classics like Duesy's, Lincoln's, RR's, Cad's with their scale fidelity....

D1fuN0 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Those ICM kits are very nice Codger, not really a lot of european '30s & '40s civilian stuff, but they are very detailed. Would be nice to have a couple of old Bugatti's in 24th scale in plastic, especially an Atlantic.... S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Loads of kits in all scales for GT40's would be good. There's a distinct lack of them out there. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymattblack Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 How about some nice 1/24 kits of the 50's - 60's American 'Dream' cars??? All those amazing concept cars - and there are only two kits I know of: Lincoln Futura and the Pontiac De Mer..... Sigh. Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1fuN0 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I still thing the British Cars top the list... There are some out there, there are some nice resin 1/24ths from Finland, but expensive, things like Heralds etc, but hell man, what the hell do we have to do to get the chaps with the plastic melty machines to actually listen. Good example, Revell AG. Look at what they are doing with there internet survey. You post a piccie and get people to vote. Get enough votes and it goes forward for consideration, and apparently there is some amazing stuff in the pipline. Its great that I can build any type of ferrari, lambo and porsche i want, just about any muscle car and most classic cars... but I want a VW type 2 Bus, a Ford Cortina, A VW Type 3 and above anything else, a Ford Escort Van... (yes, and a Marina ) S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi Rick Check on Hobbyeasy, some nice affordable fujimi GT's on there. S Cheers S. I have a couple of the Fujimi MK2's, quite nice. Could do with one of their MK1's. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs2man Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 What I would really like is a good Mk2 Escort in 1/24 . Both roadgoing and rally versions would be nice . The old Esci kits are getting rather long in the tooth and were , in truth , pretty crap when they were new .

Little Andi Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If we're asking? ................ I've always felt that the "Morris Minor" was a no brainer - loved and cherished globally, there's the option of the "Traveller and Pick-up and Van" to bulk out the build list and make for a very profitable return on ones investment!! Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Has there been a model kit in plastic of the Volvo 1800S (the saint car), I can't think of one although there is a large scale di-cast one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a resin one from Finland, needs quite a lot of work, and some cutting and correcting if you're sensitive about correct proportions, but a good model can be made.

Draz87 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I would love to see a 1/12 NSX 2005 Takata Dome version (preferably with more detail than the 1/24) and a Lexus LFA of the same size. ooooh ooooh and a 1/12 Ferrari F40 Name your price Tamiya (or anyone else for that matter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
