  1. Great looking car. Hope it's as fast as it looks. Red a good color, I was leaning toward blue. Black would kill the curves as would white. Silver would be nice, but I'm greyed-out.
  2. Kit looks amazing. I think box art is off. I don't care, Only been 50 year wait. I've got full set of Gates Commandos sitting here waiting for it anyway. I do need a Stroppe version though. Big Oly probably doable if we get some Stroppe flares, or a kindly resin caster. Happy to start with a nice Ranger.
  3. One and the same. It's ok, a bit underscale. You just got one not long ago?? Early GT40. Wish there was a reasonably priced pointed nose car, the spider. Wish R2 would find the J-car bits too. The chassis bits for it and the Mk IV ended up in the Hardcastle and McCormack Coyote. Hopefully salvageable. RM has the Aurora GT40, E, GTO, DB4, Maserati 3500. I forget if there was another. GT has only been reissued once, the recent SSP IIRC.
  4. Original BBC Top Gear, Chris Harris on cars and his Youtube channel, How it's Made, Leno with sound off (can't stand Indian givers) New Amazon series with Clarkson, May, and Hammond should be fun. Liked DeCadenet stuff too.
  5. Looks a bit like the ships in Riddick that the rulers of the Necromancers used too. Could not find decent pic of them, but they were similarly cool. Looks like a Burlington Zephyr met a Hispano Torpedo and a Gladen Aerocar with some TASCO thrown in. Sweet. I can see how Claudia is a good name for a mystic substance of the universe. I always thought so. Validation is sweet
  6. I shoulda left all the pics in just to annoy people Gunze decades ago did Lupin cross marketing with kits, their Fiat 500, etc. http://modelingmadness.com/scott/cars/2cvpreview.htm The only issue of the early 2CV with solid rear quarters and a corrugated hood was one of these, the hood included was resin, sail panel blank plates were plastic. Why I know this and own one pre-internet is as inexplicable as why there are seemingly 47 versions of this car in 1/24, and exactly ZERO other replicas of the earliest 2CV. I always thought the common versions were "cute", and this was utilitarian. Lol Mike, I type slowly lately.
  7. In 66-75, I don't recall directional tires, certainly not mudders, certainly not OEM on Broncos. First directionals I recall are Goodyear Wingfeet in early 80's. Assymetric treads not uncommon for decades since 50's. Just sayin'
  8. Gundam shop is a hobby dealer that sells on the bay. That's the shop mark on the pic so fine other sellers don't use their pic. Not cross marketing. If I wanted to sell stuff, I wouldn't use a sweet hybrid kit. To their credit, it's not a boite-de-merde Pious.
  9. The question I asked was about rear bumper. Front is ok. Rear bumper should have 2 tiny bumps on either side of license plate area that are small bumper guards and place for license light. Kit has none. Guess it's my problem as will be pointed out soon Sorry for confusion Just so people don't yell at me and my silly bumperguards, here's a vid of a Courier gasser that'd be easy conversion
  10. Hendrick got his. Someone I know is high on list, and there are delays, Honda games. Not dealer games AFAIK Not a single flip or new om Autotrader either. Zero
  11. Bet models will be out and built before the 1:1 is. Just sayin'
  12. TL:DR. Agreed Chuck. Someone needs decaf or a hug. I guess I've never seen a rant like this in a "wants" thread. Pretty funny, you're the OP, showed details of a cool kit, and build options likely possible. People commented positively. Someone's upset for who knows why, post didn't make any sense after a couple sentences, hence TL:DR.
  13. A GT, that's a new variant not done for once.
  14. Did they change rear bumper? Hope springs eternal. Blown 392 Hemi from the 32 kit would be nice.
  15. Looks really nice, need bigger pics. Looks like Evo 2 2.5 car. Just when I was hoping for another model of an old US car that 1:1 isn't worth price of top end overhaul on the S14 in the M3. Darn.
  16. Then we'll need Roehrl's Pikes Peak car, or a transkit for the tiny wings. If you can't tell, I like these.
  17. Here's a better action pic, no lights, but pop-off and exhaust seem to work fine.
  18. Looks like the Mouton/Rohrl Sports Q Evo 2. Cool.
  19. Nice Chuck. If grille is on separate tree, perhaps a open light grille with other bumper is is store too? Non R/T with open lights option maybe? Either way, I need one. Lucky bastage getting this. Maybe you'll get some love from them next round since you stamped this one with approval
  20. We need to compare this Chuck to pictures, wait, no... We need a pic of Chuck in a Bronco, no... He just tipped the axis off a bit. Still want my Stroppe and a Big Oly, but will take a stocker too.
  21. So poor quoting, too many updates is deal breaker? Why click on it, then complain? Don't click. Only reason why I'm staying in this thread and the other one is to get idea WHY someone does something that is positively going to annoy their "paramount" problem. There were a lot of OP's posts edited out, but it seems as these these threads are trolling. "My head hurts. I hit myself in head with hammer. I hate it when that happens. It's the hammer's fault. Where's that hammer again??" Seems to make basis of problem reside in hammer wielder, right clicker.
  22. Backing out pictures sure is. But I think you can add more smilies in quotes. Sweet!
  23. Vain. Fantasy. If you're learning, and busy, why are you complaining? Makes no sense. Skip a thread. Like this one, or the ones you complain about. People can post whatever they want, as can you. Reading threads you don't like, and the updates, just seems odd. Ordering brussel sprouts at restaurant, eating them, and complaining you hate brussel sprouts, why are they offered? Wow.
