Oh boy !   Looking forward to this !

Huh, I never saw this kit before - I like how they censored the word 'Porsche' out of the name and decals   They certainly used some nice thick plug wires on the box-art build too...

Popcorn ready!

I'm definitely gonna be in on this one. I learn a TON by watching your builds.

I've never even seen this kit before! What a Ride. Can't wait to see you build it.

[Bugatti Fan]

No doubt you will work your usual magic on this one John!     Will be following this thread.

That is one kit I have not seen over here in the UK.      Is it a brand new kit from Revell?

No…..it’s a kit from the 80’s Revell from Germany

Thanks for coming back on that kit John.

It's surprising how one can miss or forget seeing a kit from all those years ago.

I followed your Bentley build with great interest some time back. Very informative detailing techniques shown.

[mustang1989]

Any more on this one? So looking forward to this one.

Really looking forward to you getting started on this one John !  I've got both of the Werner's bikes and the figures but have never even opened them since I don't have the space to display the right now , I've only seen a couple of these built and they look awesome when finished !

Here's mine . . .

I know John has been really busy lately with some model projects and working on his full size Chopper, and getting ready for the Spirit of Speed Show coming up on the 6th.  Hopefully he will be able to post some updates soon.

I hope so too! This is something I have never seen before.

John had the Red Porsche Killer at the Spirit of Speed Show on Sunday, and won an award in the Fast On Two Wheels category.  Someone in a post I did in the Contest area gave a link to David Dale's pictures he took at the show, and one was John's bike.
