    Unfortunately, the Cruisin' USA kit did not have a lot of the stuff that came in the other Riviera kits. So, if you were looking to build a stock Riviera, the Cruisin' USA version IS NOT the one to go for. I have 3 Riviera kits in the basement, one the Cruisn' USA, which is by far the least content. My instruction sheet shows the parts trees. If scanning that would help assess better whats missing, I can scan it.

    The Crusin USA version did not have any stock parts, mainly a custom option. For sure, the wire wheels are missing in your photo. I have the kit downstairs and checked. Here are instruction pages from Drastic Plastic for you to compare.

    My order shows its being processed, including the PE and Carbon sets. So I should be getting the payment notice shortly. I also have some of the Acu-Stion PE pieces on order.

    Ther Performance Modleing Club is in your area. That is the website you were referenced.

    I have about 40 Ferrari kits stretching from the 166 Barchetta (Model factory Hiro) up to the F12 Berlinetta with two LaFerraris on order. Almost all are 1/24 scale. A few are 1/20 racing and two 1/12 F1 cars.

    I meant to say hood, not roof. But you got the idea. See you at the meeting.
  10. Exotics_Builder
    That's just one shelf. There's more. The 1/16 Fujimis are gone, I sold them a while back.
  11. Exotics_Builder
    WIsh I could help more. The Italeri 250 as well as their 250 California, 275 GTB4 and 275 GTB Nart have been long out of circulation. Even though I built a 250 California, I did find another at a swap meet just before moving to the Chicago area.

    They're scarce as Hens Teeth unfortunately. Model Factory Hiro does one as well, but its a multi-media $280 plus kit and MFH has decided to not renew their Ferrari license. The Italeri shows up on EBAY every once in a while, but the last time I checked they were going in the $100 territory. I had the ESCI 250 from years back and simply "appropriated" chassis and other parts to go into a resin 250 GT Lusso that'll be on the bench after we move back to Washington state next year. Gerry

    Nick I have a separate resin teardrop bubble that can be fitted to any roof. Are you interested? If yes, I'll bring to the next CARS meeting if you'll be there.
  14. Exotics_Builder
    I have the Italeri 250 GT and it is quite good. ON a par with their 250 GTO. The ESCI kit is (at best) So-So. Also, not many 250 Berlinetta GT's had 6 2-bbl downdraft webers but three Weber 40 DCL 6 carburetors.

    Issue 180 came in the mail today and mint (as it has 99% of the time).
  16. Exotics_Builder
    Issue 180 of Model Car Magazine, delivered to the house and clean!
  17. Exotics_Builder
    AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I bought some early on and the black tended to flake off over time. After that, never went back to it.
  18. Exotics_Builder
    X 2. Especially the racing sheet. Not to offend anyone, but I am personally not a LX fan.

    Members and visiting clubs brought some of their best plus some collections. There also was a Peoples Choice for Best Model http://s150.photobucket.com/user/exotics_builder/library/2013%20LMMCC%20Open%20House
  20. Exotics_Builder
    You are so right. I enjoyed getting those both. I also remember waiting for the announcements in the 60's in the model magazines.
  21. Exotics_Builder
    Not a typo. When we interviewed them October 2, they indicated there were problems in the test shot that needed to be addressed and this particular kit would be delayed until May-June. The other 2nd half 2013 releases were moving ahead. We still don't have permission to divulge any 2014 information and don't know the root cause for any delay. As an aside, how long ago was the Moebius Ford Pickup announced? They indicated at IHOBBY that they learned from that and the Ventura and Comet are much farther along.

    And Boeing does its touchdown and takeoff at the Moses Lake Airport!
  23. Exotics_Builder
    I think you have to go to Vegas to watch it!
  24. Exotics_Builder
    Welcome aboard. What part of the state are you in? I used to live in Bellvue and will be moving back to the Northwest early next year.
