keyser Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Mk IV and J would be nice too but I'll live with the MPCs. 50 year anniversary for the Mk II next year, '17 for Mk IV. Nice new GT wouldn't hurt with race version. Hmmm if only someone had relationship with Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) sorry, I keep confusing the Daytona coupe for the ford GT. mea culpa. Gunze high tech kits are definitely not as "mainstream" as Fujimi kits in generalbut you are right: a full detail cobra Daytona coupe for a reasonable price is a great idea and way overdue. but then so are any number of, for instance, vintage Lotus cars, starting with the Eleven. I personally would rather see any number of them than a Cobra of any type.no shortage of cartoon "show rods" though, nor mid seventies sleds. that must tell us something.jb Edited September 6, 2015 by jbwelda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Tell you what jb. Save the showcar comments, and I won't comment on flimsy lump Loti, mmkay? Your tolerance of other types of kits is amazing but give it a rest. I also didn't see Airfix leap to doing any rally Escorts or 26R, etc so it isn't just the U.S. Esci was only company to do any reasonable Brit cars, there's irony.Daytona won't happen. GS is dead. The MFH 289 and the Supercoupe aren't really worth it over the HRM 289 and the ME Supercoupe. Theres a Lola GT70 coupe resin floating around on eBay that's not MFH. Looks ok but caveat emptor. Anyone seen one hands on? Edited September 6, 2015 by keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I feel the pain. I'll take one or two of these in 1/24-5 Please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Although no direct relation, I also think a good kit of the Ford of England P68 would be nice. Don't get much more Swoopy than this. Didn't Airfix produce a 1/32 scale one of these? I saw one testing at Silverstone in the day!

Ed Cervo has them, he's a good vendor, bought stuff from him over years. Big kit is great, Aston power? I've looked at them but not closely, no room for big kits.

keyser Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Aston T70 was fail, obviously Chevies rocked as below. The livery on the big scale Tamiya kit is that of one of the Aston powered cars. Sunoco coupe one of the nicest, Jim Glickenhaus has it and J6 Mk IV in the stable as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbwelda Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 > Save the showcar comments, and I won't comment on flimsy lump Loti, mmkay?mmm no kay. "flimsy lump Loti"? you mean the most beautifully shaped cars in the world? probably rather have another tom daniels nightmare, eh? I have had that Tamiya lola for quite some time too, 10 years at least...I was tempted to buy another when it was reissued with photoetch. . and I recently passed on an opportunity to buy a nicely built one in the box for 35 dollars, still kicking myself for that one. someone was standing behind me overhearing my conversation with the seller and as soon as I stepped away, he swooped. smart fellow...me, not so much. I was trying to visualize where I could display it and coming up with a blank. well solved that problem and saved myself 35 dollars too...guess that's the only way to look at it.I would probably happily drop a couple bills on a Cobra Daytona GT of similar proportion and detail, but without the motorized compromises of the Lola, which weren't much but they were there.jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djflyer Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Are all 6 fullscale cars identical? Or are there small variations from car to car?From the Pete Brock website (designer of the Daytona coupe for those who didn't know) - he was at Goodwood to view all six of the coupes and noted the variations between them. Now some 43rd scale company will be releasing replicas exact to each one. It would be interesting to see how those compare to any 24th/25th scale kits that have appeared so far.The other commercial potential is the driveline and chassis from the coupe could also be used for a good 289 Cobra, which we've never really had other than ultra expensive resins.
