    On ego-bay, for every fool selling something like this-they're a lot of fools taking this seriously.

    I like MM semi-gloss black also, but it's hard to find in the hobby shops up here.

    I go back and look at my old builds. I find one I could have done better and rework it or start fresh from scratch. This enable me to think about my next build as I rebuild the old one.

    Television! It, along with my computer, are responsible for me not finishing anything. I only manage to finish 2 or 3 kits a year.

    Anytime a new large scale kit comes out we should be thankful. When it comes to large scale you take what you can get. It might be a good idea to get one just for investment purposes, look how much Pocher kits have gone up.

    Nice work so far, keep us posted. I have 2 of the A.M. kits, once you get the engine wired and plumbed you can't get the engine cover to fit.

    A Ford GT40, Lotus/STP turbine indycar, and a '68 Charger. Not all at the same time. It was a fun race and it inspired me to do more racing/sports cars.

    I would go with the full fender look also. Maybe with a slant six up front. Something different.

    Stunning work!!! I've been looking for this kit for a while, it must be OOP.

    Nice work so far, one of my fav. italian rides

    I have 1:1 cars that cost less, let him go for it.

    Let's see..... IMC GT40 resto, Cunningham Lemans racer, trans-am challenger. Oh wait that's the same as last year!

    I tried to thin my collection last year. It was a big pain in the butt. After 3 months of trying and only getting rid of 3 kits, I gave up. I'll just find more storage and keep them. Good luck

    Not what you would call "classic" styling, IMHO it's butt ugly.

    I have never subscribed to MCM, but if being late bothers people that much maybe they should subscribe to that other mag and see if it's any better.

    AMT and Revell would rather re-issue '32 Fords and Dukes of Hazzard kits, if we do get the new Bugatti, it will be from overseas.

    Rebuild it and lock it away somewhere.

    Looks to be a little more detailed than the Monogram version (which I've already built). It seems to have a lot of potential for detailing. Now lets's see what it goes for in a couple of months.

    Remember in the old days we used to brag about how FAST our rides were! Now we brag about MPG? Oh,how I miss the '60's

    Love the 1;1 car, way too many issues with this to mess with. I already have 2 resin bodies I'll never build.

    They are indeed great people to do business with and I wish her a speedy recovery.

    I use a rounded off toothpick to move them around. Grimreaper is right, the key is to keep them wet until you get them in position, then I used the corner of a paper towel to wick away the excess water.

    I, for one, won't miss Rants 'n Raves. I rarely went there, but when I did it was all about things we have no control over. Such as bashing model manufacturers, "someone cheated me", or "why can't everyone build like me". Kudo's to Greg.

    People who think all American cars are attractive never looked closely at a Corvair, an Edsel, a Vega, or a Falcon.

    Great work as usual Curt. Lauda is one of my all-time favorite drivers. Haven't gotten around to this kit yet, maybe I'll have to look for one.
