Re: Plastic wish list
My wish list, for years, in 1/20 -
Gurney Eagle Weslake - 1967
Ferrari 312 - 1967
Two of the best looking F1 cars ever produced.
Both of these, along with the '67 Lotus 49 already out from Ebbro, would make for a great collection.

Re: Plastic wish list
Interesting list: in itself, a hint, a probability study, some suggestions, nice..
We've to face that we no longer have the hurricane of releases we had with Ebbro/Fujimi/Beemax but still some of them are shooting from time to time.
Here go mine:
-Williamd FW08: Champion, nice, and easy to combine with an FW08C if well engineered (Sennable car, good sales)
-Brabham BT49: also easy to "decline" into variants...
-Ferrari 156/85 a usual in the "nice car" list polls. Might benefit from existing stuff either for Fujimi or Ebbro.
-Ferrari 126C3, also could make profit of existing stuff.
-BT53: I have serious doubts that Beemax will resist the temptation of maing it given they have the 52B...
Top three, not necessarily in this order:
-Renault RE20 turbo, 1980. AFAIK, the only winning car not done yet. I talk both plastic and resin. So many points favouring it. History speaks for itself. LIkeliness: high! I am making a transkit right now, so it's highly probable that someone will step on my toes!!
-Ferrari 158/1512. Yep, the Surtees one. Again needless to say the pros of the choice. Besides, two strikingly different liveries (red and NART). As the Lotus 49 or 79, for many that's "DA CAR" when they think F1. MAy I say it's like the Fender Stratocaster (in particular, MK's one) of the F1 cars...
-McLaren MP4/1.... the first "really modern" F1 car. A Niki Lauda car, nuff said.

And of cause any other sixties f1 car in 1/20 would be fantastic, too. We need more cars from this period...

Re: Plastic wish list
It would be nice to have more modern F1 releases in plastic. I feel like it appeals to younger people more, which imo is important for the long term health of this hobby of ours. On platforms with a generally younger demographic such as Reddit and Instagram, the SF70H is a very popular kit. It's harder to be excited for cars that came 30 years before our lifetimes. I feel like anything driven by Max Verstappen could draw many young people into our hobby, going off of how well Minichamps's Verstappen models sell

Re: Plastic wish list
Those are very good points. Drivers who are currently popular would do a lot to ...drive new interests to our hobby. A new Red Bull with Verstappen markings would sell like hot cakes, and obviously once the modellers build one car, they will follow up with another, and another and pretty soon the whole cupboard is full and girlfriends and spouses become concernedSebLeung wrote:It would be nice to have more modern F1 releases in plastic.

The 1/12 scale would be prohibitively expensive for new comers, I think, so a 1/20 scale model would be the way to go.
