Beginning a new project here in the old skunkworks and it occurred to me that some of the older models may have missed their time.
This Carrera Vette is a good example of what I mean.
Back when this and other models like it from Carrera were first released, we didn't have NEAR the amount of after-market toys we have today.
So if it broke or you wanted to tune it for wood/non-magnet...you had a time on your hands. Sadly, these models came and went with little fanfare.
But today it really is a new hobby :)
I have this car ready for some SCC Limited Gold steel wheels, bushings, axles...and my favorite classic motor, the M/T-1. I have to decide what size tire to use along with what brand, plus a new guide I want to try and plenty of decals to choose from.
Almost makes me wonder if some of these models should be brought back? I wonder how they would be greeted? Think of some of these cars with simple SCCA type race decos in your club/home today.
And not just Carrera either. This is just an example.
What do you think? What model do you think missed it's "prime" ? One that could benefit from all we have to offer today?
