The following are two cars i'd love to build ..the 1966-68 Bizzarini 5300 gt strada, and the 1968 bizzarini manta (until a few days ago, i didnt even kow bizzarini existed !) maybe once i have the scratch-building expertise :-)

Thanks to u too Paul for the advice!! It's nice to know these kits have potential ..... Eversince I bought the Revell 1/12 F40, I'm extremely careful of bigger scale kits and box art As we dont have many kit options in South Africa, I have to source from overseas, which can be a bit problematic sometimes. THANKS AGAIN ALL!!

Thanks Mark & Jim - This is exactly what I was looking for - (I was a bit worried about the motorized part)!!!! Bought the model off E-bay for $45 (oooooops, think i might've paid too much) - Planning to order the PE kit as well (29 euro's incl. shipping) Once things in my life have settled down a bit I will take up the build with the intention of making this into a display piece.

Hi All Does anyone here have any experience with this kit? I tried to Google it but can only find articles in Japanese/Chinese, I also tried this forum- but no luck - I want to know things like the build quality, kit features, possibility of detailing etc etc. Looking forward to hearing from you. P.S: I managed to find a PE Set for this kit too - http://www.autographmodel.de/Deutsch/D-M1-16/Boxer-Platine.jpg

In my opinion what you should be looking for is : 1) Size of screen - Trying to see something on a small screen whilst driving is not fun..or safe 2) Key features - Lots of cheaper makes have great features that just don't work 3) Prices of maps/updates and extra services user feedback is always helpfull (as with all above) - Also,go to the manufacturers sites and see what they have to offer. Two major names are Garmin and TomTOm as far as I'm aware - Don't know if you guys get Road Angel in the USA.

I have bout 30 or so... featuring: Fujimi Lamborghini Countach 5000s Revell Ford Skyliner AMT Lincoln Trumpeter's Nova 1/12 Revell Ferrari F40 (shouldn't have bought this one - it's horrendous) Revell Porsche 944 Lotsa other ferrari's Tamiya audi quattro Fujimi Mk1 golf Revell Mercedes Benz 230G Tamiya Jaguar MK2 saloon & Alfa Romeo Giulia GT Sprint and the list goes on...... I'm going through a dry patch with the hobby, plus we're moving house *sigh* - maybe some day

Johny - So sorry to hear about your wife's stroke - I'm glad she's getting better and be assured of my prayers. Keep the faith :-)

not to forget the Lamborghini Countach, oh and the Citroen DS - air suspension and directional headlights (I believe the Tucker also had the headlight in the middle of the hood). OK..so this got me thinking- Ford GT40, Jag E-Type,Ferrari 250 GTO, AC Cobra 427, BMW's M1..... the list goes on

Mmmmmmmm...... looks like this debate can go on forever..lol.. here's what I thought - Set a deadline for submissions, then maybe post each and every car in this topic, and we can vote??! (not sure of the logistics as I've never done a poll before) What u guys think?

LOL.. Railfreak - Now do you understand my predicament? lol Harry - I would actually agree with you ...about the Benz...and the other forum..lol

OK - So those of you who are also on "another modeling forum" would recognise this topic. (Unfortunately the topic was deemed to be irrelevant there, and was deleted) here we go: Which cars would you say were instramental in developing the automobile into what it is today ( be it design; technology etc.) ? From the first Steam wagon to today's modern marvels. I should also explain that I'm thinking of building a collection of models that will represent this history, but I'm not sure of the cars?!

1. Carefully holding down that small yet crucial part whilst the glue is drying... pulling your fingers away and realising you glued it to your fingers....right ...lesson #1... use tweezers 2. Airbrushing the body you carefully labored over for weeks.....and realising the paint thinner you used got water in it.... lesson # 2 - check thinner first before mixing 3. putting the (black) model down on your (black) seat to go answer the phone (one of those #&#% sales calls) ....get back and sit on it.....lesson #3... always CHECK where the model is first 4. lesson # 4 - DO NOT continue building on a bad build night ;-)

Anything from the group "Within Temptation"......

Thanks Rick!!!.... I ordered the PE set from Stephano the same day I ordered the kit and he doesn't seem to know where to find these either

Haven't seen this movie yet......but have a look at this: THe Saleen S7 ... yummmmmmie..... I can't stop watching this now...WIll have to rent it :-)
