Thought I'd give this a bump as we are 2 weeks out from the show. There are only 2 vendor tables left, if anyone is interested.

Ferrari 250 GT Lusso.

One thing to note, this is an R/C car, not a static model

Three Mustang concepts car kits are available in 1/43 resin from Yowmodellini. http://www.yowmodellini.com/webshop/shop.cgi?word=Ford

I got the new Gulf Mirage M6. Haven't really studied the parts, but it looks pretty good. I'm sure there will have to be a little fettling to get everything together.

Funny you should ask this question. I just received a DDP kit in the mail yesterday. While I do not know how to contact DDP directly (without a Facebook account), you can buy the kits from RacingKars.com. Kars Jens, the owner of the site, can probably answer any question you have about the kits. Kars is a great guy to deal with. Mike

Back in December I filed for a refund through Paypal (order placed in September). Paypal refunded my money. My advice is stay away until we hear he is healthy again and has taken care of all the back orders.

Total model count was over 700 (748 I think). The place is so big it apparently looks empty. (Although, I do think cars looked thin.) I managed a first in Small Scale Armor and a second in Exotioc Cars.

Another good source for cheap kits are vendors at model shows and contests. And you can have a hell of a good time hanging with other modelers. Check the show listings section of this web site. You can also check out the IPMS show listings on their web site, http://www.ipmsusa.org/.

Looks like a Packard 12 knockoff. ICM make a couple of kits in 1/35 scale. Here are links to them at Scalehobbyist.com: https://tinyurl.com/packard135 https://tinyurl.com/packard136 Mike

I placed an order with him about 10 weeks ago. Have tried contacting him twice recently with no response. Never even got a "your order has been received" email, just the Paypal reciept. I would not order from Clearly Scale until his health problems are behind him. Someone should alter the web site to not take orders while he is ill. (He must have someone to do this if he can't.) By leaving the web site as it (taking orders), it is damaging his reputation as most people probably won't know what is happening. Plus it is unfair for him to receive that money from other folks Paypal accounts without delivering in a timely fashion.
