  1. I like the different color combo... Very interesting
  2. This I like That red really pops! What did you use for the yellow on the headlights and fog lights? Looks great
  3. I'm pretty sure it is, but not as far as 1/24 kits are concerned, which is why I'm wondering about Revell… Their BMW license seems valid, but I was hoping that someone might have a clue about the molds and if Revell might ever release these again...
  4. I'm pretty sure the Tamiya is actually a rebox of the Revell kit, or vice versa... They did the same with the 850 I believe... I have the Revell 325i and it seems quite nice, but would like to get the M3, which is why I'm curious as to whether we might see these released again
  5. Yes, there is a hasegawa kit out there, but Revell did a 325i with engine detail.
  6. Yes, that is the kit... Revell had a whole series of these, including a four door car and compact...
  7. I sure would like to see these again, especially the M3... Recently Revell issued the i8/507 combo so I assume their BMW licensing is solid. Is there a chance we will ever see these kits again, does anyone know? Thanks in advance
  8. That Golf is a nice kit, but it's the box art that caught my eye... As a backdrop for the car, it depicts what at first glance looks like Berlin (presumably the Brandenburg gate and remains of "the wall" with its iconic graffiti), but over to the right there is a clearly visible "yellow cab" and NYC like architecture... Has anyone else noticed this?
  9. Photos from quote boxes can be deleted by simply hitting the backspace key, just like deleting regular typed text No need for clicking, cutting or highlighting at all
  10. Pozdrav Damir Enjoy the forum
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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...
  14. And, since we're talkin' Yugo's, I'll just leave this here... Nice car, funny video
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. 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!
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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...
  21. 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.
  22. Is it a secret who makes this resin kit, where and how you got it?
  23. 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!
  24. 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!
