The headlight is missing as a makeshift air-intake for the turbine. As far as I know, this is common on drag cars and such. Someone please correct me if I am wrong great model btw, the fender flares look fantastic

I have the Scale Production kit, and judging from the pics of the USCP kit, they have absolutely nothing in common... One useful thing that the USCP kit has, and the SP one doesn't is the exhaust assembly... To my eye, this looks like a nice enough kit, but I'd still probably prefer the Scale Production one, if for no other reason then for the PE set... The Scale production kit does get rereleased in a fairly limited edition every once in a blue moon… I wouldn't be surprised if it popped up again at some point

Found dead from an apparent suicide by hanging in his hotel room in Strasbourg, France... Way too many depression related celebrity suicides lately, and mostly people whose work I like Bourdain was about the only celebrity chef I ever paid any attention to...

And, since we're talkin' Yugo's, I'll just leave this here... Nice car, funny video

I WISH there was a 1/25 or 1/24 scale plastic kit of a Yugo out there... I mean, honestly, it's a terrible car, and it was ridiculed all over former Yugoslavia just as it was in America (my family had a grand total of three back in the late 80's and early 90's), but as the video Brian posted demonstrates, they can be fun after undergoing some home-engineering... BTW, the video was shot in Croatia, during a popular hill-climb event in Buzet, Istria... Lots of private garage-built cars like that can be seen at the event, and they do go... The one above has a Fiat Bravo HGT engine... This is a video from the same event, a few years before, and different Yugo car... This one with a 900 ccm Kawasaki motorcycle engine... Hence, Yugosaki

Thanks for the reply, but which engine specifically... I would like to find some reference pics, but haven't found anything that looks similar to my eye.

As the title says, I am curious which exact engine is in this kit... Instructions say simply "late model Olds mill", but googling didn't bring up results, and I have read somewhere it might in fact be a Cadillac engine... Can anyone clear this up? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your reply, but I still don't see the logic of it... As far as I know, the original licensing issue was mainly to do with the German branch of Revell, not the US one, anyway... Ferrari obviously wants too much money, and Revell cannot or doesn't want to pay it. I just don't see how this situation would change Revell's financial ability, as you say, especially now that they have spent a lot of money on the merger... But here's hoping that I am wrong, and you are right, and that we will see the SWB and other Ferrari kits from Revell in the foreseeable future

Thank you! Based on this info, I was able to find the following site, so I'm sharing it here for anyone else interested: https://www.actions-general.top/mercedes-300-sel-68-amg-rote-sau-124-resin-p-14773.html

Yeah, awesome it would be, but unfortunately I do not see how this turn of events could positively influence Ferrari licensing which Revell no longer has...

If you haven't yet, check out the Netflix show Mindhunter, directed by David Fincher... It's about how FBI developed profiling and criminal science in investigating murder cases, especially serial killers.

Is it a secret who makes this resin kit, where and how you got it?

While the Starliner may not be a car I would normally pay much attention to, your build definitely makes it stand out and certainly sparks my interest... Perfect wheels and stance!

I love this car, but wasn't aware there is a resin kit available! Who makes it, where can one get it and does it also come with decals? Either way, definitely looking forward to seeing progress on this!

I often buy glue bombs, but this is usually only to strip them off useable parts such as wheels, engines etc... If they are totally interesting to me, unpainted, not quite caked in glue and mostly complete, I might consider finishing them, so to speak... But to tackle fully restoring a glue bomb with heavy paint and glue, it really would have to be a rare kit, unlikely to ever be reissued, along the lines of a Jo-Han or something similar

I just received my BMW M3 body kit from USCP, and it seems to fit the Revell 325i kit perfectly! Can't wait to get it started

That is just mind-blowing! I would also like to see the process of opening/hinging the door if possible

Well, I've had no luck on the forums or on ebay over the last year or so... Finding specific parts, that is... Buying a complete builtup or promo is just too expensive for me, unfortunately.

I had that suspicion, but it was just too difficult to tell for sure from the pics I could find online. Thank you for the reply... My search for '64 taillights continues I guess

Specifically, I'd like to know whether the stock taillights in both kits are the same and interchangeable. Thanks in advance! MATIJA

So what IS the story about Heller? Last news I heard were all gloom and doom... I ask because I like the Gordini and don't want to end up disappointed

I just ordered their M3 body kit for my E36 BMW 325i by Revell, so I'm glad to read the positive feedback here

Just finished "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri", and it's definitely in my top 5 of 2017: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5027774/
