If you're into that sort of thing, Hasegawa's new tool 1/12 Honda '74 400F SuperSport is one of the nicest kits I've ever experienced.

Really, just one? I'll have to lean towards the new Aston Martin, wishwise

Loved Brian Bordon's stuff!

I think it sucks . . . that you didn't build it for Me to enjoy!

Gunze Sangyo astonished the scale car modeler world back in the late 80's early 90's with their "High Tech" 1/24th scale:"multi media" kit series... still remember when I first saw the boxes: 250 GTO, XKE Conv...& the very rare Cobra Daytona Coupe (CDC)....priced at $65 each! in LHS back in early 90's, at those prices took me a few months to save $$$ to get my hands on the ultra rare CDC!
My model is long gone but remember was a very, very nice kit, but oddly for such a pricey "high class multi media" kit: plastic/ white metal/brass/photoetched parts...NO opening hood....no engine was in box (lower oil pan/trans cubrside type)
...the "toughest" curbside I ever made anyway a real museum piece.
...HRM kit nice but so pricey for resin
They seemed to have the annoying tendancy to overcomplicate things just to do it. The Messerschmitt KR200 was really frustrating. I liked the Ferrari GTO better, but you aren't wrong about the sticker shock. I had the Meguro motorcycle but never found the Indian or the XKE

Aw, I want it now. By the way, Mobius, the 8 lug wheels in the '61 Catalina are awesome, best ever kitted!

I just left the fender braces off of mine. If you're burning for a great Jap bike build, try the Hasegawa '74 Honda CB400F Super Sport. It's a new tool and it's awesome. More tiny parts though.

Tamiya's Gamma Goat. For $11.00 at Hobby Lobby. I'll buy just about any model for $11

But why is this and the Red Baron the only Tom Daniel cars to be copied in 1:1? I'd love to see the Beer wagon, Garbage Truck, Tijuana Taxi and many more done in full size.

What Deathgoblin said. It won't do everything that foil can do, but I'm loving it for window and fender garnish. I use the 2mm for that. But even the 1mm flows too much for emblems. I still use sharpened toothpicks and Testors chrome for those that I don't want to foil.

I think they resemble an Astro Supreme more than the Torque-thrust
-
Start with the Messerschmitt. That one will drive you nuts, then the others will all seem easy

I quite agree.
Until the rest of the world noticed and suddenly everything could be had in black and gold. Kinda pulled the bloom off of the rose for me

Geez, I hate it when I go off on a rant and then it turns out that the situation isn't what my perception was. Thanks to the PMers for the explanation.
Gregg, if you're listening in, email me, maybe I can help you.

So last November I fill out the online form and send payment for an MCM subscription. About May, I email that I haven't received any issues as yet. Greg emails something about an old address. Apparently, Paypal still had old address info linked to my previous MCM subs. Odd since I've done several transactions at the address that I've had for the last 5 years with no issues. So I ask to at least have the remainder sent to the correct address. That was in July. No response. Apparently MCM has decided to stiff me on a sub. That's Ok, I can get by with my Scale Auto sub. That one came through fine, as well as half a dozen other titles. Wonder why? Hope my old addy is enjoying free MCMs

Business case? Small Block, Big block, stock, drag, custom, Eliminator, Trans Am

They showed Wonderful World of Wheels to us on movie day when I was in 4th grade. I got in trouble for yelling "Hey, It's the Silhouette!" I think Lloyd bridges was the host.

I just discovered that the IMC/ Lindbergh Cougar II is on a small block Cobra chassis. Interesting car, good enough kit.
-
I think those rims are Motor Wheel Spiders

For the love of God, don't let her hear you say Cha Cha, trust me

Well, After spending some time with this kit, yes it's a turd. Disappointing, but I knew this going in. I just let the "Styrene goggles" get the better of me. The body isn't bad but everything else could be better. The decals look good but I haven't tried them at this point.

I owe Tim an apology from many, many years ago. Hopefully the thing has never crossed his mind and isn't anywhere on his radar so I'm not going to elaborate. But I can blame him for many hours of model history and reviews. Thanks Tim, for the press you've given me, for being with us and for your contributions to this great hobby

Almost finished. I can't overstate how detailed this kit is. The taillight lens is 4 pieces, each molded in the appropriate color. There is detail under the ignition and clutch covers. The oil filter cover can be removable, the oil filter is removable and reveals correct detail in there too. The red fender is from MPC's 1/8 Dick Mann Honda.
