Not for nothin', but a nice, loud X2 here. ^^

More interested in those for curiosity's sake than anything else, but yeah, I'll have some new plastic run through that tooling if they sell any. 👍

Welp, guess that's bye-bye to a buck-twenty-five or so...

Welp, in direct response, I bring up this thing: Now what in the hell would anything like it have to do with spoiled foil? Mi hermano, the ONLY thing that has kept me sane through this whole exercise, the O-o-O-o-OONNLYY thing that's stopped me short of a spokicidal rage through these needlessly diabolical perversions of a supposedly meditative activity, has been THIS STUFF: Ju-u-uust tacky enough to hold those Medusa-hairdo spokes down without freezing the wheel so rigid you can't get the next one in. Might be worth a look before tossing a what, 8-dollar foil sheet? 9? You prob'ly knew. Puttin' it out there for the benefit of others, too. 🙂 EDIT: 'cause yeah, that foil is one of the few recent Tamiya items I can recall having a "meh" response about, too. Here's hoping the pics aren't doing it proper...

Very cool, Les! Thanks for the first look.

And I think we can take from the pics above encompassing wheel emblems, dash gauges, and a license plate from the BTTF version (not to mention a history of reasonably comprehensive decal sheets from Aoshima) that the DMC12 version will have decalS too. 🙂👍

lol, sorry!

The B-26 that I realized I already bought in a Revell box, this weekend. 😐

Yup! This is a curbside kit comprising around 135 parts, so there's no full engine detail. But there's a crisp 3D-printed engine lower that fits the resin chassis plate perfectly. The suspension and exhaust system detail are multi-piece and pretty complete. The steering wheels are the same, so one is a spare, as is one of the driveshafts, tailpipes, front suspension arms, headlight lenses, and a few other parts. You do have some options on interior trim, cranks, and pedals. The instruction booklet

Oy vey... ANYWAY, here's what your $180 + shipping gets you. It's a stunner, VERY competitive in the biscale resin arena. Considering the nearly-flawless rubber Firestones with wide white masking collars, the photoetch, the precision in every resin piece I've test-fitted so far, and the literal menagerie of smooth, super-fine 3D printed parts with spares, this thing is a flat bargain by any reasonable assessment and I'm delighted with it.

What a little sleeper - I'm just liking it, more and more I see. Their 26 also has me intrigued.

Single decal would be fine, long it's what Kurt suggested. 😁

Wow, never knew there was an entity called "Teapot"! Shoulda done some Pontiacs - that way, you'd have a Tempest in a... . . I'll just show myself out.

W O W . . '62 MoPars might be coming back? Not all that crazy about Atlantis's new-tooled tires, but I'll snatch those whichever way. 😁

I was gonna say, they're usually pretty good about that. 🙂
