I just recently snagged this from Horbor Freight, on sale for a song. I've just used it a couple of times, but I now wonder how I measured stuff without it for so long. It is my new fav tool!!

I am sooo getting this kit....LOL!!! I hope this kit sells well enough to get some more vintage Ferrari kits in the pipeline!

Thanx!! The Wrangler car was regular Testors blue and yellow, the Stroh car was Model Master Blue Angel Blue, and the Zerex car was regular Testors red and white. For the Zerex car, I cut most of the decals apart and painted most of the red.

These kits got me started back in the car side of the hobby, but I kinda got burned out on them, and began to find hotrods and sportscars much more satisfying to build. Still, I'm happy with most ofthe NASCAR models I built, and the ones I still have are sitting proudly in the case. Here's a few of them: Dale's Wrangler T-Bird: Alan Kulwicki's Zerex T-Bird Mark Martin's Stroh Light T-Bird: Mark's Folger's T-Bird: Davey Allison's Busch Series Lumina: Bill Elliott's "Thunderbat" Dale's Bass Pro Shops Monte Carlo: Mark's SynPower Taurus: And Rusty's Miller Light/Harley Davidson Taurus: Seems like a good way to break in the the new section

Mark, just leave the battery out of the kit, and for heaven's sake, don't try to teach those poor kids how to wire one up...

Not only the 250SWB, but the 250 GT Spyder, the 275 and 365 variants woud be welcome as well. I'd really love to see all those kits in white plastic instead of the normal red, black and "silver" plastic. But you are right about the SWB, it would be a most welcome re-issue!!

Is this the "pontoon fendered" 250 TR?

Fantastic build! Love the paint scheme, and the fit/finish is right on the money.

The only T I have, built from the "boomer bucket" issue of the little T with a bunch of ###### from the parts box. Hard to believe that I built it nearly ten years ago

My approach is probably the most "low tech", and certainly the most "low buck". I place the model on my kitchen counter, turn on the overhead flourescents, with my camera attached to a tripod. Perfect? Hell no, but it works pretty well, which is good, 'cause I'm too lazy to set up a "studio"

Bigger. The engine needs to be bigger.

Anyone who wouldn't dig that on Christmas morning has somethin' wrong with 'em - neat build!!

Cool pics!!

Do any of these Z-car kits have a left hand drive dash and us spec mirrors? Is there a 280Z kit out there? I'd love to build a model of the 75½ 280Z I owned back in the day... gold paint, black interior, and fuel injected - lotta fun to drive

Neat build!! That's first one I've seen completed, and ya did a nice job in it!

When I get bored with talk radio or cable news, I usually fire up the CD changer... 100 cd's out of my collection loaded up, hit "random", and I am my own favorite radio station

The 1:1 does slope a little, but the side shot of the prototype body does make the slope of the trunk look a little exagerated: I don't know if it is the red plastic or what, maybe seeing it in one color will give a better idea of the finished project. None of the comments about Darin's work were made with any disrespect (I don't think), only made because this is one subject that HAS to be right on the money, or it will end up the dust heap of "could have been...". Not only that, but it seems alot of us that want the model also owned a Mustang LX, so we are looking at this with a very critical eye. It's still a work in progress, so we'll have to wait untill the first copy is popped from the mold to see how it'll turn out...

Great info guys, really!! I use my PC for web surfing, email, burning cds, model pics, and I built a small website in notepad. I've used Win95, Win98, and for the past few years, been using Win2kPro. I don't run a whole lot of third party software, mainly an old version of Winamp (MP3 player), ACDSee (image viewer), Photoshop 5.5, Nero CD burning (came with CD-RW drive), Audiograbber (CD ripping), Firefox, and my camera software. From what y'all have been saying, a Mac or an iMac would suit those uses just fine. Maybe time to take a trip to an Apple store...

Ok, so I'm not as far off my rocker as I first thought, which is good, I guess. What do you guys think of the iMac?

How many Mac users are there on here? I know I'm gonna have to replace this computer sometime in the near future, and it's gonna be a choice between Window Vista and Mac. One of my friends has Vista on her Dell Laptop, and while the computer itself is quite nice, Vista is ######. So anyway, any potential issues for a long time (10+ years) Windows user switching over to the Mac os? I know Macs are a little more exensive than a PC, but is the addition expense really worth it? Lookin for some honest opinions here, so don't hold back. Thanx!!

Fantastic build!! Interesting color, and nice engine bay details!

Holy ######!! I remember building one of those when I was a kid, and haven't seen one since. Your's looks a whole lot better than the one I built back in the day!!

Nice build, very clean!!

Ya done good Bill!!!
