The Junkman

Has anyone dealt with this company before? http://www.toy-in.com/ There are some items that a somewhat lower cost than other places but I'm hesitant in sending my CC info across the waters. Alternatively, are there any overseas shops that I should have no hesitation in ordering from?

Would somebody, SOMEBODY(!) convince Revell to release their slotcars in 1/25 or 1/24. Even if it was just a body kit. Every one that they have issued (i.e. Greenwood Wide Body Corvette, T-70, etc) are all subjects I would buy multiples of. And let me add to the chorus of more modern cars. CTS-V, BMW M Versions, AMG Mercedes-maybe a co-production agreement with Revell DE. I sure can spend their money for them.

On the Ferrari California vein-I talked with Steve DeVaux of VRM decals at the NLL West last year. He was of the opinion that the classic Italeri Ferrari kits (275GTB, California, etc) were going to be re-released. Has ANYONE heard the same thing? I'd love a kit of the classic kits but not at Ebay prices.

So...maybe shave it down 1/16th and shim it back 1/16th at the bottom?

I've a question that I've never seen addressed. Is it just me or is the front end/grill of this kit a bit too tall/blunt/forward? That's the way it appears. How has anyone else addressed this? Maybe its just me

Re: the first photo (Revell). Were the cars at the bottom of the poster (looks like Lola T-70's and a Fairlane) slot car releases and 1/32nd? (probably )

RnD Unique used to offer a T-70 3B (coupe) kit in their Mini Exotics line but don't right now. Anyway, they did have that scheme as an option. Maybe they have one in the back of a forgotten drawer. Can't hurt to ask. http://www.rndunique.com/rnd_products.cfm?pi=2
