Outstanding work, so precise.... Bob

I was about 6-7, so somewhere between 71-72. it was a Dave Deals Bug Bomb. Bob

STELLAR!!!!! Bob

That's a Lenco? I thought it was a Liberty... My Bad. Bob

I paid 24.95 plus 8.95 shipping for this kit. It will set you back a bunch I admit. But, the proof is in the puddin. Bob

No ticky, No washy!! Bob

ROG instruction sheets are BIG! Nice paint callouts and detailed instructions set this sheet apart. Comprehensive decal sheet with markings for many different plates and all gauges and exterior markings are represented. The box has a great graphic rendering and overall appeal.. I'm having a hard time not starting this and my modelers ADD is kicking in but I need to finish about 20 other projects.. But should you decide to build this kit I am certain you'll find it as rewarding as i feel it must be.

And what a body she has! Off white plastic that needs very little prep before primer can be applied. Her curves are all in the right places. Stunning at ANY angle. Next: Instr sheet, decals box and final notes...

Not so much a review since I have yet to build it, but more of a "What's in the Box" type of thing. This is my first ROG kit so I was not certain what to expect. They do not shrink wrap their kits, they simply tape them shut. i like this idea and find it just a bit "greener" than the old shrink. Since I bought this off eBay it took a week to get here but I was very pleased when it arrived. If you decide to get one you will be as well. First off are the chassis trees. Here we see Tamiya-ish moldings divvy'd up amongst 4 silver styrene trees. SUPERB castings that make up the running gear are here for you gawk at Next up are the Interior/Exterior trim trees. Once again, SUPERB moldings cast in three trees of an off white styrene. Next up are the one chrome tree the clear parts and EXCELLENT tires.. Next Up.... What A Body!

That second shot just slays me. Perfect stance and the details are great. Nice engine bay. Welcome Bob

This project continues to impress. You are pulling out all the stops and I am loving it broski. When is the body/tin going to start getting prepped? I'm anxious to see that. Bob

Those both look great. I actually have the rival cars all ready for a future project. The red cars would look good up against those white ones. Perhaps a WIP sometime next year for those though. Great project and execution BTW. Bob

All kinds bro. Mostly technical stuff but I do like to just thrash out often. Animals As Leaders newest album is my current kick. Bob

My life is one big Metalfest and I'm not the biggest fan of that show. I've forgotten more about Metal than those guys know, and that's the truth. But it's better than nothing so i watch. B

Great job on this kit. I was wondering when I'd see a built up of one of these. I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a couple of different ones they make. They are pricey but the results [from an obviously experienced/skilled modeler] are forcing the issue for me. Detailed and high parts count kits are going to have issues. This is just a fact of life. Superb build. Bob

Because nothing says I'm all about Drag Racing like this mug. Bob

I just won one of these on FeaBay for 29.99 plus 9.99 ship. They are not going to get easier to find. I may get another after seeing a few builtups. This is a GREAT kit. Bob

I truly cannot find a word to convey my admiration for this creation John. Bob

Is that a Colt hauling an Elk? CRICKEY! B

Some killer builds here. Kits i currently own are the Ferrari 356GTB/S /Countach LP500/LP500S, 356, and 930. Glad I asked the question. Bob

I have one for a fornights tirade. I respect the warning point. Bob

Having built a couple back in the 80's with wonderful results I decided to pick up a few recently and ply some hard won skills to these wonders in 1/24th scale. I don't have pics yet [not sure a WIP will be forthcoming] but I do have several kits that I won on FleaBay. First off, if you're not into late 60's mid 80's Euro cars read no further. These kits are strictly a bunch of Supercars and hard to find gems in 1:1. BUT, if you're into high parts count renditions of some serious muscle then you are going to be a fan. Before I go further I will address the eventual "they are fiddly to assemble" complaints. I have had ZERO problems assembling every part on these and this is when I had skills that were less than today. I'm not saying I'm some Ace builder mind you. I'm just saying I had no problems building them back when they arrived on the scene. Now admittedly, a 1/24 scale Ferrari GTO with a 235 parts count is going to be a skill tester, but the rewards have been overwhelmingly positive for me. The parting lines are slight, the overall accuracy is to be envied by the ENTIRE industry. Think of it this way. What if Revell put out a 1/25 or 1/25th scale Ford GT or perhaps a 72 Cuda? Would you line up for one? A strictly rhetorical question naturally. Of course you would! So it begs the question.... Why not? It seems Fujimi had NO problem beltiing these out. Last I checked there were 36 different 1/24th scale kits in the Enthusiast range. I sort of discount the 1/16th kits since they actually had lower parts counts in some instances and were of a marginally lesser quality. But certainly not boat anchors either way. I thnk they really blew their wad with the 1/24th kit and kind of coasted on that for the bigger kits. Feel free to correct me of course. My point is this [if I actually have one]. These are still the rabbits to chace in my ever so humble opinion. But opinons are like bellybuttons, everyone has one. Bob

Ira, these creations are the most fun watching as they come together i have ever had the pleasure here on this forum. You are creative, resourceful, and just plain goofy with these. I for one am jealous. You are clearly having more fun than I am modeling. Good on ya broski. Bob

Outta the park Steve.. Really nice work and it is spot on. Bob

Thank You Sir.. B
