Hi,

Just an FYI, there was an eBay auction going on a 1/24 LMM Mirage kit.

No bids and ended at $140.

I'll let you know if and when it reposts.

I know some here woud love to have it.

Here is the link to the expired auction;

I wonder how that compares to the Mini Exotics kit? I have one of those around here somewhere that I'm pretty sure I will never get around to.

That's interesting.

I know the LMM kits are known for there accuracy.  I used to be hot and heavy over the LMM Mirage kit but afx posted some rather detailed and informative info on the history of the GT40 family.

And since getting the 69 GT40, it looks very close to the Mirage.  Plus I've an HRM egine for it so I'm stoked.

Plus I'm liking platic over resin at this point.

Still those MiniExotic kits from what I hear are pretty killer.

I had the GT40 kit which is very similar but sold it.  Didn't care for the fixed open door.  Would have much rather had the body cast in one piece.

Ah, cool info afx, thanks for that.

Hey Snake45, would you mind posting pics of your MiniExotics kit?  I may be interested in it if you don't mind.

I'll see if I have time to take and post pics over the weekend.

It's intended to be used with the Fujimi MKII kit for chassis and whatnot. I don't recall that it has any photoetch, like the one you posted.

Cold deal, thanks man.

Long out of production Thunder Valley kit with HRM engine.  The LMM kit has got to be better.
