Hello Ulf. I am now looking at a real one to import. We get a one time exemption here in Nevada for cars over 25 years old. But a friend said it’s the whole USA. The car is in Italy. But looking at several others also. I also found a bmw 3.0 cs. And then there’s the Japanese market. Hard to pick just one car.

Thank you Spottedlaurel.

A Tamiya R5 Renault. It’s a very simple kit. As I’m waiting for parts on the big scale cars. And waiting on a 1/8 Mercedes F1car. So I have a little breathing room for a simple build. Modified the suspension. Lowered the car a lot. The paint is a toner from bmw paint system. Kind of a copper, bronze color. Next is the masking of the black trim , which is quite a bit. I like the Renault R5 turbo . Have a soft spot for the real car. When I was vintage racing my Shelby at laguna seca, in practice this little car would give my Shelby fits. I would pull it in the straight but in the corners, this car was incredible. Meaning kick my rear. I won this kit at the Fremont IPMS raffle. So I’m giving it a try. Wish I had a real one. Here goes.

Thank you Bainford and Happy New Year!

This is the message I recieved. My friend knew him since high school. Was his neighbor.

Heard he passed away yesterday. ?

Very nice! I had met Bobby Allison at a pdr show . My friend and I were talking to Smokey and around the corner came Bobby Allison. I was shocked and asked why he was at this little show? You’re a Superman! His reply was “this idiot talked me into comming” meaning Smokey Yunick . My friend just built a stroker 351 , for me when stroker motors were not even thought of. So him and Smokey were talking about it. Smokey invited my friend and I out to dinner. What stories! I learned a lot that night. They had sooo many stories about the cheating in the nascar series. It was funny and amazing. Smokey and Bill France were not the best of friends , so Smokey would do things just to make him mad. I can go on forever about that dinner. The thing I remember is Bill France robbed Bobby Allison of one race. He had 49 victories and would of had 50 but when the pony cars ran against the big cars, for one race, the Mustang Smokey made for Bobby won and Bill France did not want the small cars to win so he disqualified the race and the big cars never ran with the small ones after that. Great builds sir!!! Love those Bobby Allison cars!!!

Thank you Rattlecan Dan. Merry Christmas

bbowser it is the Agora kit. This one is the toughest of the 1/8 scale kits . Things do not fit. And you have to really model it, meaning modifying the parts to fit, There is alot of complaints on this kit. But if you model thru it, the car comes out great. I will restore this model. I will disassemble and paint it a different color. There needs to be some bodywork also. Because fit and finish is a problem. On the other hand the Shelby was a fantastic kit. With very little modifications necessary. The cobra kit is also a fantastic kit. But that darn Muira is a handful.

Only three this year.
