What is on your "Wants List"?

I would rather like the Revell BMW i8. Waiting for a good price (I think I am still living in the days when Revell kits were under £20!).

A friend has the real thing and took me for a ride in it. Seriously impressed (which it ought to be at that price)! Even the 3 cylinder engine (enhanced sound?) sounds sufficiently sporty.

I have over 30 images (too large for here unfortunately and my PC is too old to sensibly use) for reference. It is black, but has gunmetal rather than blue highlights.

Off the top of my head, I am currently looking to buy the following models when I find a good deal:

  • Gunze Triumph TR2/TR3
  • Italeri Mercedes 300 SL Roadster
  • Tamiya Aston Martin DBS
  • Tamiya Jaguar MK2 Saloon

Are confined to kits in production, or can we dream?

If we can dream; Austin 7 Ulster in every scale from 1/87 to 1/24

I have a white metal one in 1/24, but I want it in plastic too.

A few other Austin 7 types [1922-'39] would be nice too

Hi Black Knight,

Re the Austin Seven, don't forget the Heller BMW Dixi, convert it to rhd and you've got a Seven.

Branchlines did a really neat 1/43 Ruby in white metal.

George Turner did a resin Twin Cam racer in 1/32.

There are possibilities too if you're prepared to modify die-casts but otherwise, I think you'll be in for a very long wait!

I've got the Dixi, but other than Dixi [later BMW] no one else did that body style, and everything is mirrored, even the engine.

I'm building one as a Dixi. If I can get another I'll convert one to an Ulster or Nippy.

I managed to pick up a couple of 1/24 Sevens from an unknown maker, but I suspect Russian.

1/43 - naw, too small.

I shouldn't have put 1/87, for I have several in 'railway scale' HO/OO

Ah, not so easy as it first appears then. Must admit I hadn't noticed until you said and then it's blindingly obvious! I did come across an Australian Seven which looked like a similar body, yellow and red I think...........................a bit brighter than most British colour schemes.

I'd like to get the Tamiya Caterham Super 7 and the 1/12 Rosso Honda NSX.

I had both but sadly made a mess of both so would like a second crack at them.

Otherwise, a new 1/12 Lancia Stratos. Maybe MFH will do one since they've just released the 037.

Hi,

Just for information, especially 'willie fixit' and 'elderly'!!

I own a "Vincent Black Shadow" 1/8 scale metal model from the BIg 6 Classic Replicas company (now gone).

This kit was commissioned by the Vincent Owners Club.

The kit was purchased in January 1979, I bought it in early 2000 ish.

The kit is unstarted, all instructions, decals sheet (maybe a bit fragile).

I have bagged and tagged all of the parts. I think the t-bolt to hold up the rear stand is missing, but this could be easily made up out of 2 rods.

I am waiting for life to allow me to start this kit, however, for the right price I would consider selling, hence this notice.

Kind Regards
