waynehulsey Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yeah, I know. It seems like normal life span for most resin aftermarket is 3 to 5 years. Was hoping maybe somebody knew if the masters migrated somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gt fan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 PMA made them in 43rd scale a while back. I know of at least 10different verisons of the cars. Ma models makes them now,but there kits are very rough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynehulsey Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Interested in 25-24th. Having enough trouble seeing those anymore. What I'd really like to see would be a couple of the open cars from the first 2 years of the series, but figure that long ago no chance now.

Mooneyzs Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I have been a big fan of these Daytona Prototypes.... They are just a neat looking racecar. I got to see them run at the Long Beach GrandPrix back in 2006. So awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Just my opinion maybe, but they're a lot better looking now than they were back in 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yea they changed the rules to allow for small greenhouses. Now: Before: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynehulsey Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I like the small top cars, but still prefer the original open cars. Which is weird since in street cars I don't really like convertibles that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
