  1. A little research is okay, but a little too much will certianly lead you to the conclusion it cannot be done.
  2. Can't even explaine it in any sorta reasonable terms. Johan Mercedes 500K roadster. It's not even that great of a model. It's got so much potential but yet falls down in so many places. It's a beautiful car which helps, but the kit has defeated me 3 times in thirty years.
  3. It is the 150th anniversary of Italy's unification. It also carries logos emphasizing that fact, while the back of the rear wing is painted in the colors of the Italian flag.
  4. They just should have stuck to the 662 code name for it.
  5. whooohoo Go Lizards. Looks like a the 10 Porsche GT3 RS VS 9 Mazda RX8s and a just a couple BMWs, Camaros, and Ferrari each tossed in. I donno what possible better programming the could have on to draw in more audience than the Rolex 24. No word on the Circuit de la Sarthe yet.
  6. I didn't mean him specifically, and for his day maybe. However, they really didn't start figuring aero out until the late 60s early 70s and was still very crude by modern standards.
  7. I suspected Czech Republic but I wasn't coming up with much in the way of references for many cars. They clearly didn't quite understand aero yet, did they SAAB had the goofy black pancake looking thing
  8. I am thinking its something like a Tatra prototype
  9. Yup, it really depends on the paint. I have some little testors bottles that are 20 years old that are still good if you mix them up with a little power mixer. However, some paints, particularly whites and off-whites yellow or don't ever dry. I have had some paints that were never opened and had gone bad in a couple years.
  10. I built one stick and tissue aeroplane last year so don't feel bad.
  11. There are hundreds of flat H6 911 kits out there.
  12. Not even a football fan, but GO PACKERS.
  13. Sheesh there was a guy how once owned it and didn't even know what it was.
  14. well at least I been on the right track figuring it was a 1940s Domestic prototype. I have have found a wind-up toy of it be they fail to mention what it was modeled from.
  15. No specific rules but hints are welcome.
  16. It's based on the 612 660hp AWD people carrier.
  17. That wouldn't be normal or very model like now would it?
  18. Yeah, but there was no COPO 427 Yenko Nova, which is what the discussion is about.
  19. L78 Novas which was the 375 hp, and something like only 50 built. The standard L34 or whatever it was a 350 hp
  20. A COPO was a way a dealer could order a special built car not on the normal order list. So there were some geniune COPO car that Yenko turned out. The Nova, which was a COPO car, but a 396 was altered at the dealer with the installation of a 427, which GM said no to.
  21. It's the forgotten year. Everyone remembers 69. I kind of always like the 68 best too.
  22. A COPO Nova would likely be the 9738 396 TH400 Nova, which was the car Yenko was used as his base for the 427 car, since there really technically wasn't any Factory big block Novas. There were no COPO 427 Novas, as already established. It should have the SS packaging, which you could get in the small block as well.
  23. sometimes just because you can.
