Merc. Benz must have eased up on there licencing. Tamiya's reissuing alot of there old Mercedes kits. notice the 560 on the top of the page. i'm guessing the 348 is the Testors kit, and the 2008 Shelby GT500 is listed as 1:24, either its a misprint or its a new tool diffferent then the Revell 06 GT kit.

i'm game. I got an old AMT 36 Ford in the closet just begging to be done as a roadster

How does that little guy run, I'm debating getting one of those.

here's a link to info posted on this site about the 2008 NNL East. Tom Geiger made a mention about the hotels on the third post down. NNL East info

was the issue with the steering wheel corrected? where the spokes are oddly positioned

That will be the correct yellow, but the movie car has a metallic pearl appearance to it. so you may want to spray Tamiya Clear Pearl to get the same affect as the 1:1

nothing kit wise......yet. only got one gift so far (although it was an expensive one). we haven't truly celebrated Christmas yet. that will be this weekend when my brother comes up from Virginia

Subaru Brat...only issued once. VW Scirocco..ditto VW Rabbit....ditto AMT Mercury Capri, last seen in the Cafe Racer series MPC Pontiac Fiero. last seen in 1987? Toyota Supra. last seen as an annual in the 80's 72 GMC Pickup...last seen in early 90's 92 Camaro (Ex MPC kit. the good one). last seen in 92

absolutely amazing. its nice to see a modern subject get super detailed.

A TV did show how models where produced about 6-7 years ago before Revell sent production overseas. I think it was on discovery. I remember them showing people removing the sprue from the body before it got bagged. the lady yanked the sprue right of the body. which IIRC was a 69 Camaro convertible. that explains why the body was damaged on the sprue side of some Revell bodies

cool stuff. those AutoArt C6R are nice pieces

looks great. I just got some of that same color today for my 41 Chevy project. mine won't be shinny. as its getting a coat of dull coat once it is painted. building it high end rat rod style

just got the new Revell 599 GTB today, and i have to say its nice. I know its the same as the Revell AG kit that was released a few months ago. I don't have the Revell AG kit so I can't tell if anything changed. but i know the Revell AG kit was molded in red. and this one is molded in nice white plastic. I have three issues with this kit. first off the box art is terrible. way too much crome and red. although the box art buildup is nice they should have shot it at a different angle, the next issue is why there is any crome in this kit. there is almost no crome on the 1:1. its not an issue getting the crome off but it would have been nice for everything to be done in white plastic. and finally. my last issue with the kit. are the wheels. there accurately done, albeit a little small. but why they chose these wheels pictured below over these much better looking ones, i'll never know

There are so many great model that I've seen in person and on message boards over the years, it hard to pick a best of list. but these are some of my favorite builds Bob Downie's, Subaru Brat Bill Geary's, 69 Daytona Alex Kustov's, 64 Ferrari GTO 4399 GT Juha Airio's, 78 Chrysler Cordoba Hiroboy's 1:12 Nissan Skyline R32 GTr

No. completely different tool. this ones light years more accurate then the Magnum PI kit.

I was always more of a matchbox guy growing up. 07 was Matchbox's 75th anniversary. here's one of the 75th anniversary cars. there not rare. I know a lot of Hot Wheels people have migrated over to Matchbox now. My favorite Hot Wheels car has been the Dodge Aries wagon. I had one when I was younger. lost it. now I need to find another one. my favorite matchbox was the Mercury Sable wagon. like the Aries wagon I need to find another

Revell 05 Vette convertible. combining snap kit and glue kit. inspired by Ismael G's build

are these clearcoated? I went to remove the prepainted door handles. enamal thinner did'nt work. so I decided to try lacquer thinner. it worked on the door handles but it started to do something funky to the red plastic. almost like it was painted. where these clearcoated from the factory? and what will remove this?.

awesome work as usual Marc. that Hemi looks quite comfortable in that engine bay

I can't comment on the Mac. but I have Vista and am one of the rare people who love it. You just have to play with the setting until you can get it right.

when will these be available?. there website shows Summer 2007, its pushing winter now also is there any news on the 78 Lebaron wagon

both are welcomed. since its Aoshima. I'm expecting a left hand dash kit soon. they've done it with most of there other kits

finally got a Tamiya Porsche Carrera GT (amazing kit), and a MIB, MPC 79 Mustang Turbo Cobra

looks like another winner from Revell. I'll get one of these this weekend. already have plans for it.

looks great. thats a deffinent buy
