Non muscle as being a Facon and a Commodore etc
Muscle as being a GT and a Monaro etc
As seeing a few people suggest they would like to see, more standard like models (non muscle).
I was wondering if admin could mention how many made / need to be sold for a Diecast to be worth producing, sorry if has been asked before.

i cant wait for the FX/FJ and the FB/EK would be awsome too. and while were at it what about the FE/FC. (all can be made from 3 base body mold for better economy like the HT/HG) they would be like historic pieces that can be looked at for comparison with new cars and would look excellent if kept up with biantes current quality and detail. if they come out, im gettin them all.

Bring on the holden story

As I've said many, many times before, I'd really love an XE ESP Fairmont Ghia, the Red over Black version with the snowflake 15" Alloys.
also,
EB, EF, EL Falcons
cheers.

Oh yeah, silly me lol, I should have known that as I have a few 1/18 biante's on layby and some on order.
Dam, I'll need a better paying job or will have to take on another job too.

I'm with chups.......FE to EK in 1/18 would be fantastic the floor, diff, front end, subframe and exhaust is the same as well as the sills and contour of the lower sections of the doors. It should be a cost effective model in my eyes to carry identical components over 4 main models (even the utes used sedan flooring). I drove a white over Le Mans red EK for 8 years and it was a great rocket to run around in so a model of this would be a sentimental journey and bring back a few memories,

Well we can only hope, afterall we are nearly back to 1968 with the monaro's so it may not be to much longer before we get into the HQ, HD, EH, EK, FJ era, that trax fj is neat but it isn't 1.18 scale so I wait and see.

I would love to see some LTDs. Particularly the XC, XD and the one with the headlight covers, I think it was around the XA period.

I'm with you diecastdude...bring on the EH's.

Texan, I think you're refering to the Landau (see http://www.trueblueford.com/GrantsLandau.html)

There was also a covered headlight LTD in 1974 based on a ZF Fairlane with raised rear quater panels (4 door). The Landau was the equivalent in 2 door form.

I know that there English, but I still really want to see a 1/18 Mk1 and 2 Ford Escort. They would fill a large hole in my display case.

I wouldnt buy non muscle car models for the fact that I wont be able to fit every model in my cabinate/s as it is!

My limit on collecting finishes with the 67' XR GT and includes all SS Commo's, ESP Falcons (and Phase 5/6) till present day hotties.

My only exception to the muscle car rule is that I would like a model of an XC GXL Falcon & and something XF Falcon (maybe Dicks White SVO Turbo?)

What do you recon Biante?????
