Count me in!! My Europa is a Special, so the same as JPS except it's not black. It's my favourite Lotus road car also, though I would very much like to have a Super Seven. At 6'2" you can fit if you are long in the legs. If you are long in the torso, it will be an uncomfortable squeeze. I know a Europa owner who is 6'5" and manages to fit, and he is long in the legs. He is also in his 20s, so is much more supple and bendy than I am.

The article is primarily about the fake Eleanor '67 Mustang, though perhaps the principle applies to real Eleanor as well. Denise Halicki (copyright claimant) is mentioned, though real Eleanor isn't. Annoyingly, by virtue of the article, the uninitiated might believe that the '67 Mustang thing is Eleanor, but that is the typical incompetence of online articles. Revell can make all the '67 Eleanor kits it wants, but I won't take my place in line until they produce an original Eleanor which, fortunately, is entirely plausible. If the info in the article applies, I think it is even likely.

The excellence continues. The figure looks awesome, and the illuminated cube is a great touch. -
Nice work. Love the roof swap. Looks like you sorted the blemish on the deck lid.

No. According to scalemates, it was last issued in 2016. -
Matt, that is indeed a fine looking airbrush. Well designed pre-set trigger adjustments make dual-action airbrush use as simple as a single-action. Five years ago I bought the Harder & Steenbeck Infinity CR, the most lovely airbrush I have ever held in my hand. It atomizes exceptionally well and lays paint down beautifully. It has a trigger pre-set feature as well, though appears somewhat different than the Ultra 2024. Nonetheless, I find it easy to use. Though it has more adjustability than my old Badger, with the clever trigger pre-set function, it is no more difficult to use. In some ways, it is easier.

Regarding single-action vs dual-action, I wonder how many dual-action users are really just gravity-feed users who don't really care if it is dual-action or not, or would even prefer single-action. My current work horse airbrush is miles ahead of my old faithful siphon-feed Badger in terms of versatility, ease of use, paint thriftiness, and even in cleaning. Not because it is dual-action, but all because it is gravity-feed. The advantages of gravity-feed were all that I had imagined during years of pining for one, plus much more, with not a single disadvantage that I have found. But I would be just as happy if it was single-action. I have long thought that a high quality, well designed airbrush with single-action and gravity-feed would be the perfect model builder's airbrush. It would be the easiest to use airbrush of all. But, when I was shopping for my airbrush I couldn't find such an animal anywhere that was worth having (meaning weird side cup adaptations and other contrivances would not be considered). I really don't care if my airbrush is dual-action or single-action, but my daily use airbrush will be gravity-feed from now on.

Possibly, but if they re-produce the '69 Rebel, I'll take my chances. -
That is simply lovely. A sweet little Lark, and the open roof is awesome. Very nice work.

That's one sharp Goat. Classic colour combo, and the red lines seal the deal. Nicely done.

Good looking Barracuda.
