  1. God will get you for that, Walter Rotaries rule Killer Vega, love it!
  2. Chris, for a company that claims it wanted to rewrite the rules of sportscar design, they sure didn't rewrite the Ferrari formula, and Ferrari just trumped them thoroughly. It's a decent looking car, but the overall shape is nothing new and detailing falls short of my expectations. It looks like a well-thought student design project for a mid-engine Ferrari. I was expecting more, I guess. Mercedes/AMG have just thoroughly trumped the performance of the McLaren SLR with the new gullwing SLS. Styling on that car is also polarizing...I like it, but the roof looks too simplistic...a roadster/spyder will look better, but that's the case with the original 300SL as well, I far prefer the roadster. And this is from someone who generally likes coupe styling better than convertible styling on the same car.
  3. After seeing the new Ferrari 458 Italia, this is a letdown. Rather boring/derivative, in comparison, and not nearly the shot out of the ballpark that the F1 was. This isn't really a replacement for that car, but still...I'm underwhelmed. The overall shape is okay, but it's like I'm not really seeing anything new, and looking at a second-tier supercar design. Ferrari knocked the 458 right out of the ballpark...it's going to be a hard car to beat. I could envision it being the McLaren F1 replacement...it's that good. Interesting that the designer, Frank Stephenson, who did some final tweaking of the McLaren, also worked for Ferrari/Pininfarina. I wonder what he said when he saw the new McLaren.
  4. I know the answer! All I can say is...I prefer fenderless.
  5. Beautiful model, Bill. I'll have to get mine build one of these days. The wheels look great, and perfect use for those Monogram TRX tires. Wonder how many people know it's a Cobra 289 underneath?
  6. Wut? I nevar heared such crazy thing's
  7. Great deal! Did you buy a dozen of those Jags? (look at the front tag). I've been to their store and to a few model shows in MI and Ohio. Imports are usually dirt cheap in those locales...a dirty little secret most people shopping outside the area don't know. I got some great deals a few years back on some import kits (Tamiya, Heller, Protar, Gunze) in their shop
  8. Knowing Juha that's probably not flash, it's probably scale wheel weights. Look at the rear wheel as well.
  9. Real or model? Bugatti Stratos concept model.
  10. I'm very glad to hear that Revell is doing this. Great job Revell!
  11. Oh well, better luck next time, as they say. Noobs come here and blurt out an answer or website to prove they know the answer, w/o realizing that the voting is supposed to be "blind" and that giving away answers in the post isn't how the game is supposed to be played. However, as there are no rules posted, it happens from time to time.
  12. As mentioned in the text and by the color of the car in the photo, he's looking for a Caribbean Pearl Blue metallic color, not the iconic AM green that's listed on Scalefinishes. It's a nice color...hopefully if they get the code Scalefinishes can offer it to everyone
  13. Check your PM's for my local contact who should be able to get that information for you, since they restore Aston Martins and we go to their shop before our NNL every year. I got their information from Henry Trent.
  14. I'm looking forward to the Petite LeMans Will be a blast...not sure if I'll get out there any on Thursday, but Fri/Sat we'll be there as usual. Sorry Nick
  15. Whats nut's is that you are posting tabloid drivel on a model car bored.
  16. I really wish we could embed these videos; here we get to hear the true story told by Ricardo Montalban
  17. Oh well Harry, better luck next time
  18. One of my favorites: Does this count? This one is stretching the wagon term a little:
  19. If you use a little accelerator on the superglue there is no fogging to begin with. I use superglue/accelerator on nearly every glue joint and haven't had any superglue fog in years.
  20. Very cool
  21. I clearly was misguided with my advice because I showed examples painted in a slightly different shade of gray, therefore I've removed the post entirely. Without the exact color in hand, I cannot offer any competent color advice on the subject.
  22. Here's a picture of last week's model posed beside the real car:
