Jordan White

How so? Like ones with separate side panels?

I'll probably get started tomorrow haha, I have to dig mine out from the closet.

Might be tough since they never had a second generation of the Raider. You could make one though and have it be a concept, though you would need a LHD interior.

Looks like the Fujimi one is the smaller one (Pajero Jr. as they call it), not the full size like this one.

Looks like they may be doing another run of the 2dr Pajero kit, and it should be out in Japan by the end of the year. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10289557 I might pick one up to go with my Tamiya kit, since it appears to have similar exterior options.

I've decided on making mine the very 80's "triple white" version (exterior, interior, wheels).

I'll be building the 1/16 Lambo Countach LP500S.

I'd be building the 1/16 Countach LP500 kit. I'm still debating on the color though, since I'm not sure whether to go with one of the stock colors or a custom color.

Well I would be in if some other people join as well.

Seems like the community build section is pretty slow, may be because of how far down the page it is. Would this build include their 1/16 kits?

The side pods are the fuel tanks.

I have one and it's currently in progress. It has some parts that really need mold lines removed, as well as some such as the hood and trunk lid that need styrene added.

I don't see why they couldn't do one of the early 2000's model, since it would be a vehicle that could be released in several different versions. They may not be built today, but they are still relevant in the off road and mini truck scenes.

He might be able to get a set of Centerline wheels and just sand off the outer set of bolts.

Looks like most are either Explorers or Escapes, neither of which are available in plastic. What you could do is use the Expedition kit, or one of the 90's AMT Explorer kits. It appears that the one Expedition in the pictures uses the stock wheels, which can be found in one version of the kit, or in the F150 kits.

I'd suggest messaging ajwheels, he should be able to answer or pass on your questions.

The only things I'm not really fond of are the finicky rear window and tailgate, and the tires.

I will say that although tuners aren't my cup of tea in the real world, I enjoy looking at all builds in the scale world regardless of genre.

So have you gotten any further on this or is still packed away?

One of the older releases, either the Camaro, Corvette, or Bel Air (all came with them). Wish they would have kept them in for the rerelease.

What's the matter with expecting more accuracy in the age of 3D scanning and CAD drawings? If video game companies can recreate cars in a digital form that are accurate down to the warning labels, then it seems that a company that makes physical 3D representations could create something that has at the very least the same dimensions as the 1:1, but correctly scaled down.

Well don't worry anymore, if you haven't seen yet, they're rereleasing this kit in January!

Gotcha, just looked at their site and based on their 1:18 diecast prices, I wonder how much it will cost?

What? A 1/12 2015 Mustang? I have to get me one of those! The fact that it's full detail (compared to Revell's 1/12 'Stang) is just the icing on the cake!

Looks like Round 2 will be bringing out the old AMT/MPC 1972 Blazer kit sometime in January (pic from Ihobby announcement thread), and it will be the Crew Chief version (always wondered why the hard hats and toolbox were in the Model King release ). The kit certainly isn't the greatest in terms of molding, but it is a fun kit to build.
