Try this site... http://www.carsinbarns.com/Superbirds%20&%20Daytonas/index.htm ... This is a great site for pictures of all types of cars, mainly muscle cars, that are found rusted out & decaying in various locations. Cheers Cliff

Each to his own. You like chocolate, I like Peanut Butter... As Harry has said, it can be done RIGHT or it can be a DISASTER. It's pretty simple. The guys who build the "Show-Queens/Kings" of this genre aren't just building a simple car/pro-tourer. They're building/making art. They're artists. They're showing their designs, their skills, their engineering capabilities etc, the cars they're making/building have to be seen/noted in a different category. These guys are at the TOP of their game, the TOP of the tree, so to speak. Just as the F1 designers/engineers/mechanics etc creativity & ingenuity eventually filters its way down to a car that you or I could go & buy down at the local dealership. These pro-touring guys need to be acknowledged in the same context as their F1 counterparts. For every Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Beatles, Elvis etc there are thousands of 1 hit wonders ... Spawned by these artists... Just as there are local car guys imitating the big ticket car guys... They won't be nearly as good or have the same quality etc but it would be boring if we ALL liked Elvis or The Beatles or The Stones & nothing else, right?? Cliff

Any particular after-market wheels you're interested in? I have quite alot of Aoshima 20/19/18 in wheels I'm willing to let go of, maybe in trade/swap??? PM me if you like?? Cheers Cliff

Ditto above. HJL & Hobby Search are 2 of the best On-Line stores to deal with :-)

Here's a pic of the 1:1 81 version...

I can tell you there will be 2 versions of the Murceilago. The stock version & the kitted 81 version. Both will have full engine detail & as with their Aventador, they will have a PE set sold separately. The stock version is due out first, around late October & will be followed by the 81 version. F1, as stated is due later in the year.

Thanks Marcus! Cheers mate! & keep up the brilliant work mate :-) Cliff

Beautiful builds Marcus! What colour/brand of paint is that on the Celica?? I'm interested in obtaining it. Thanks Cliff

I like it... Like your version too Harry.

We all have our "wish-list" bro... I would love an RS6 Avante.... ;-)

Aoshima have just posted more detailed pics of the pre-production SV on their f/book page... & have to say... it looks every bit as good, if not better, than their Aventador! The level of detail they're putting into their kits simply leaves Fujimi in the dust & has surpassed Tamiya without a doubt!

I only know they travelled to Italy, Germany & the U.K..... lots of manufacturers of super/exotic cars in those areas..... :-)

The guys are pretty much correct, there is No one true GL replica other than it be as stated, because Warner Bros used nearly 300 Dodge Chargers 68-69 & I've heard even 70 models. Your only mistake.... buying/using that rubbish mpc/amt kit. Get yourself either of Revell's 68 or 69 Charger kit... If you really want to,make a better/correct GL charger. Cheers Cliff

I got some "inside" information too.... besides this Lambo' , the long tail McClaren & 80s Celia rally car, there'll be more super cars coming in quick succession. .. After October. Their development team is working 24/7 I'm told.... you wouldn't think they'd go all the way to Italy just for stats on One car, would you???? ;-) Cliff

Guys check out their f/book page now... they've added about 30 new pics of the prototype.

Yeh I heard that too, Aoshima have been dropping big hints ;-) I'll be looking forward to any & all body kits/kits that put out of Lambs :-)

They're obviously taking full advantage of 3D scanning-printing too. I really hope they get right into it & their business flourishes, because the more kits they sell the more ( new ) kits they'll be able to produce.

Aoshima has just posted a video on their Facebook page announcing their latest super car to be kitted, by late October, Lamborghini's Murcielago LP 670-4 Super Veloce!! I can't wait, especially if it's as good as their Aventador kit Cliff

I think, but I could be mistaken, Beau Duke was driving..... YeeeeeHaaaaa....!

It was the 1st car YOU saw on TV... But you didn't make this current list....

Why should it be # 1?? It's not even a real or normal car. No-one could go down to their local dealership & buy 1. It's a pure fantasy car, not realistic. Whereas the General Lee WAS/IS real. You COULD go down to your local dealership & buy a Dodge Charger. Not only does it deserve its No # 1 spot here but it also claimed the No #1 spot in ( a few years back ) Hot Rod Magazine's Top 100 Most Influential Cars of ALL time, voted on by well known & respected members of the World's car fraternity.... You gotta respect that list.

Well no surprises there for No:1. Well deserved I'd say. But whomever came out with this list cannot really be taken seriously anyway... They've said the DOH ran from '79-'86.... WRONG. It ran from '77 - '84. Very surprised there's no Christine, DB9 from the last few Bond films, no Miami Vice Daytona ( hybrid ) or Testarossa.... No Nash Bridges 'Cuda... Disappointing list actually.

The process you're talking about is called " water-transfer"... ;-)

Sometimes, with expensive cars like this, these paint schemes & now "wrap" themes are done for charity or advertising... Or even by the artist themselves to promote their work. Each to his own I guess... :-)

It's pretty cool actually... But do you know for sure that its a painted-on scheme or if its a wrap?? Wraps are a big deal these days & I'm guessing that might be the case with this McLaren ??
