Scale Model Wish List... What should be made in Scale?
Figured I would start a thread where you can share cars you want to be made into a scale model. Maybe it hasn't been made in the scale you want or it does exist already, but not in the quality you would like so you are waiting for a better option.
To start, as a collector of 1/18 scale Porsche 911s I am eagerly waiting for a few models to hopefully be made one day.
1. Porsche 911 (964) Carrera RS America in 1/18. We can find many variations of the 964 Carrera RS from various brands, but none of the RS America version specifically.
2. Porsche 911 (993) GT2 Clubsport in 1/18. We can find standard 993 GT2 models out there in this scale, but none of the Clubsport variant with the roll cage.
3. Lastly, for now, the Porsche 911 (992) GT3 in 1/18. It's a new car so it's a matter of time before someone makes it in scale model form.

Neat thread... I added to the title if you don't mind and made it sticky too!
I would like a static or full access Ultima Evolution or RS version. I actually connected with a resin brand about it last month, they said it was too niche. No, I think it would sell
Also, would appreciate a full access Porsche Singer, any will do!

Re: Scale Model Wish List... What should be made in Scale?
Before I saw the words "What should be made in scale?, I assumed this thread was going be about which existing models I wish I had. In that case, I would have replied, "How much time do you have?"
Anyway, I wish there were really high quality, opening replicas of the BMW E38 7 Series and Jaguar XJ-220. I would pay good money for those. Maybe a really nice F50 too, and a better 458 than the Hot Wheels.

Re: Scale Model Wish List... What should be made in Scale?
I agree, I could go on and one too. There are many BMW's I would like so many of the M cars missing, along with many of the modern Porches 911's, and I don't count Minichamps sealed version a viable option
PS - PLEASE try and add photos of the car(s)!!

Re: Scale Model Wish List... What should be made in Scale?
That's fine by me and this is a better title, thank you!
Good selections, I especially agree with the Singer. Maybe Autoart will do one with fully opening parts, because quite frankly I can't think of another brand who would do the Singer like that.
Ideally, all of the cars on my wish list would have opening parts, but realistically I am betting most will be sealed models. Many of the models I have which are sealed are sort of "place holders" for the low chance they ever get re-issued with an opening model.

Yes, slim picking these days on who can execute something with full access at a decent price.Good selections, I especially agree with the Singer. Maybe Autoart will do one with fully opening parts, because quite frankly I can't think of another brand who would do the Singer like that.
Some of the less popular or should I say niche cars are a stretch. This is where resin and sealed is a great alternative and place holder until something better comes along!

Eagle Speedster:
Spyker C8:
I know it is made, but never properly, the Alfa C8 Competizione:
And fully Agree with Kraftig on the Singer Porsche's. Can't wait for some one to make that in a fully opening model with decent quality.

"the Alfa C8 Competizione"
Yes, would like a better version of the following too!

I agree, a proper Alfa 8C is long overdue.
Re: Scale Model Wish List... What should be made in Scale?
mid 80's 928S with the front & rear spoilers. We have the early car from AA & the later GTS from GT-S (though I missed out on that one ). My dad had an '86 when I was in middle school. Love these.
I'm sure there are more...but this is top of my list.
I second SPhilli911's suggestion of the 964 RSA. I'd love one of those as well.

Let's hope this beauty is in the works from a manufacture who appreciates full access, the Gordon Murray T50

What a clean design. Love it
Re: Scale Model Wish List... What should be made in Scale?
Overall yes... That tribune on the rear is still out for debate

I would like to see the Maserati MC20 -- a design to die for (see maserati.com)!
