A (best left) forgotten Ferrari

28 April 2013 - 04:57 AM

You know, there are a lot of kits of weird cars out there, and those are the ones I like best. Sure, there are more stylish cars, but I like the things off the beaten path, so to speak. That’s why, if you told me I’d buy a Ferrari kit, I’d have laughed.

 

Well, look who’s laughing now! Check out my out of box review for the absolutely bizarre the Ferrari 308 GT Rainbow!.  This is really proof that the 70’s were just really all about bad ideas.

Poncho Power - 80's Style!

Hey gang!

 

Check out my entry into our club's one year build contest: my Monogram 1/24 1987 GTA! Check out the link for a full review including in-process shots, etc. 

 

I always loved these cars as a kid, but since I've had a chance to drive a few, I think I've determined a.) that I'll keep my 1980 T/A and b.) I'll be happy with this kit to represent having one of these cars. The old Mongram isn't as nice as some of the MPCs I've worked on, but still, shape-wise at least, it's a good representation of the car!

 

They really are nice to look at though, eh? Anybody here ever have one?


Toyota Street Van

Okay, so some things are just too bizarre for words. 

 

This is one of them, the Minicraft 1/20 Toyota Sports Van! This thing is crazy; it's smaller in 1/20 than most 1/24 vans, but it's got everything you need packed right in there! It's like a weird ricer/vanner love-child!


Check it out, and tell me you don't want one. 


Honda today: you thought the Civic was small!

28 February 2013 - 12:55 PM

The Honda today was a car that the Japanese made in the mid 1980s to fill the "kei" car niche. These were tiny little cars ideal for one or two people's commute only. 
 
I picked this weird littly Tamiya up at a model show in London (Ontario) last fall, and I thought he'd make a neat out of box review!
 
Check him out; you'll want one of your own, soon enough! It's not like it's going to take up a lot of shelf space, either!
 

1980 Turbo Trans Am

If you want to build a second gen T/A, here are some pics of mine, as well as some additional information.

One day, I'll find a really good kit of that car and build a replica of it.
