it turned out ok. Its a little bit of a tricky build. Its always good to get one under glass.

they are coming

I got an old star trek Voyager kit and had someone offer me $350 for that.

at one time i did... i will have to go digging as I recall it was a privateer running the car a few years after Ferrari won at LeMans with the 250 TR Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines Enzo Ferrari

Its not really off. The ROG 250 GTO or Protar 250 is based off a car what was serously wrecked in the rear and the guys the put it back together too some liberties with body to help some known problems with the car so the shape was slightly modified to make better use of aero - something they were just starting to figure out, and so it could use bigger tires in the rear. It is accurate to the car it was modeled after, just not to the way it rolled out of the factory.

I got many rare and collectable kits, it was never about the status. It was about someday build it because I liked it for some reason. I always wait for a screaming deal on it though. I am not going to pay stupid money for a kit. I just wait and eventually something comes around other than a Pocher Mercedes for a fair price. I refuse to pay $60 for Monogram Jaguar... as much as I would like one

They idle at 7000 - 8000 rpm 1300 hp per ton Kers flywheel 80,000 rpm 0 to 60 1.7 0 to 187 8.3 and back to to zero in 13 top speed 230mph 6g of brake force 5g of cornering force 3.1mpg Average weight 970lbs before the ballist is added. min required weight 1411lbs down force at 118mph 2:1 which is the mph for an Indy car to reach 1:1 And today's F1 car is watered down compared to the 1.2 liter Turbo cars that could produce 1600hp in qualifying trim

I have seen some pretty nice box stock models.

thanks, Yeah, its old 22 years old, and not perfect, but there isnt too many other cars on the road I would rather have.

Interestingly, he says the prototype for the KT62 was stolen, but it appears to have been a production rights issue with Mattel. I read that none of the classic kits were produced after the fire, but agreed peicing it all together has been difficult Nevertheless it will be interesting what turns up 2013

it was actually 1978. Depends on the agreement. Tamiya got in trouble with ferrari and it took them a while to get straight with them after producing more kits than allowed per their agreement, which started the whole serialization Ferrari kits. They went bankrupt supposed because of a fire at the production facility chopped their staff from 120 down to 30. Seems like they were having troubles long bofore that. Even in the Mercedes line of kits after KT91 had plastic wheels significanly reduced parts, chassis and brake details. Doesn't really matter what happened to them.... lets see what happens to them now.

I got it from a Pocher guy who was a historian and collector of their kits.

actually aluminum is the most abundant. Still not as stupid expensive as a 996 GT3 R engine rebuild which can virtually only be done at Porsche Motorsports for a small fee of $45K, and there is only about 100 floating around in the world. 1 valve is $350.00 and there is 24 of them.

Yeah, got it in the stash. Fujimi 964 C4 so its correct even. got a C2 and turbo version too.

Yeah, if it gets finished it will be the first one done since my Starliner. Yeah I been around off and on. I bought a Porsche thats been keeping my busy for the past couple years. I have had some WIPs since then. Ferrari F2003, Ferrari 250 GTO, Mazda RX7 Daytona winner, and Fujimi Porsche 3.2 Carrera

Yes, it comes with a regular front bumper as well, so you can build it stock. I heard about the glass not fitting well. It was a interesting kit to build. I like how they engineered it but kind of a PITA to build. I got another one that I might take a little farther than this, which was basiclly OOB.

kool model. I with they would do a 24 scale plastic kit. The only car to take down Audi in a decade.

I guess its not too bad for the first model since 2008 Interesting kit but kind of a PITA to build. if i build another I know how now LOL. Not 100% sure i can get the interior tub in or not.

Yes, one of my many Titanic books.

not really, other than for what I gather Pocher didn't have license to do any of there car kits but it was with Mercedes they got in trouble with. Clearly they had some other troubles too, but that was kind of the beginning of the end for them.

ya scratch built wipers for a 1950 3100

Nah 1/24 LOL
