Great looking models! In the picture I quoted, very nice job on the metal color shading and variations. What did you use to get that darker anodized color around the transmission/rear subframe?
Still find it very unlikely they would not redo them, as I understand the sales were high with much potential for future sales as well. I cannot imagine they would just throw their hands up and go "bummer". At least I hope not. I still need several.
While not a kit, Scenes unlimited also has very nice brake parts that can be set up for display as well, and they are a member here on the forum. http://scenesunltd.com/collections
The pin idea is always a good one. Even if you had not already painted, many on this forum would have suggested you still plan on using that very same method. Very secure long term plan to hold the mirror.
