  1. Any chance you can provide a link, far as I am aware, HLJ has never sold it, the only place I knew that had them was Hobby Easy All the 86/BRZ kits with out the engine comes with the transmission and bell housing.
  2. I should have the kit tomorrow
  3. If my package from HLJ ever gets out of customs, I will do a review of it
  4. They are going to be two separate kits http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=002152672&I=LNFDLH&P=K http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFDLJ&P=7
  5. Custom's holding my HLJ shipment because of the gundamn markers.
  6. The movie version and tv series are different, the movie version was all black, the series was black and and whatever color we want to call it \ To throw a wrench , they also used a Chevy van too And for some stunt work, a Ford van
  7. This came yesterday, there is six packages of sheet plastic , hmm, I wonder what I could be doing( the paint has nothing to do with it)
  8. But, infact it did take the top spot, its at the top of the list with the most domestic content used.
  9. Yeah, and my 2001 Nissan Maxima with 310,000 on the OD with OEM drive train begs to differ what that.
  10. Steve, excuse me I wasnt being clear, that is what I was talking about , I didnt mean there was anything actually wrong with them.
  11. I see a lot more Nissan's Hardbodys than I do Probes driving around
  12. Russ, the Revell Of Germany kits are considered imported kits in the USA, so because of importing them, yes, it does increase a cost a little bit. Often times, Revell does rebox them , but often times, like with the most of the Ferrari kits, they are stuffing more into the USA boxes than they can hold, and bodies get deformed. Revell Of Germany serves all the markets outside of North America. I am sure I might of left something out.
  13. One of the LHS here has the 69 $35.95 , the owner asked if I was interested in it, and it took everything to not say, not for that price I realized I got the two mixed up when I made my reply
  14. Did they start building here to avoid the chicken tax ?
  15. The Toyota Camry took the top spot this year, as 2014’s top vehicle — the Ford F-150 — fell below 75 percent in domestic-parts content with its 2015 model-year redesign. The Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey and Chevrolet Corvette return to the list alongside GM’s three-row crossovers: the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. The Michigan-built SUVs were last on the AMI in 2013. Cars with at least 75 percent domestic content are becoming an endangered species, and for the first time in the American-Made Index’s nine-year history, the list has fewer than 10 cars.

The Michigan-built SUVs were last on the AMI in 2013. It’s not that automakers are slowing U.S. production. If anything, the opposite is true: Excluding heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles, automakers assemble 101 models in this country for the 2015 model year, from Chevrolet sedans to BMW SUVs. These cars combine for the vast majority of new-car sales, and U.S. production remains on the rise. What is shrinking is the percent of overall domestic-parts content. Five years ago, 29 cars qualified for the America-Made Index. Today it’s fewer than 10. Consider the opposing paths of U.S. auto production versus so-called “homegrown” cars: The complete article https://www.yahoo.com/autos/toyota-camry-tops-ford-f-150-as-the-most-american-122790558077.html
  16. And I think there was some about the wheels too.
  17. That was funny , good one, Ive been working on them over time, some have been finished for a short time, just getting around to posting the photos. Thank you sir
  18. Aoshima Nissan Cedric Japan Police Patrol
  19. This was built from the incorrect parts coming in the Golf GTi kit, and with the help of Revell for providing me a Cabrio body(Thank You Revell), I was able to build it, I did not have the correct decal sheet of clear parts trees, so the only clears parts that fit was the windscreen and the front door piece, I cut off the vent part. Paint is VW Deep Blue from Scale Finishes .
  20. Here is a Nissan Cima F50, or for us, the Infinity Q45 , its the same car, so I guess we can call it a Nisfinity Q45f50, anyways, this is the Impul version kit, I did a wheel swap and put on a set of Nissan R35 GTR wheels , this was an "inspired by" build , seen a real Cima F50 with R35 wheels and close to the same color, which is Nissan Ray Blue Pearl (Nissan R35 color) from Scale Finishes .
