very tempting..,what to do?

[heinz74]

i know you guys got the Manta in the US..albeit with some nasty ass bumpers..

we had the GT/E over here ,with the fuel injected 1900 cc injection engine,..my dad bought one new in 1974,, a venom green GT/E

i sort of have to have this ...,but

A ..what if i sign up for the magazine ,and the terminate it after 5 issues?..

B..has anyone out there ever finished the Aston Martin ..or the Shelby gt500?..are these models anything close to a good model when completed?

check..

That's pretty sharp.  How much does the whole thing cost?  I'd love to have one of the AM's, but not at the built price I've seen on eBay.

[heinz74]

that will ad up to about 1100 euro's in total..which is a lot of cash ..in the end..

but you'll likely will not come across anything like it..it's not the kind of exotic subject you can get from Pocher or such..(which i personaly feel nothing for)

i always thought about the Manta A as being as close to a US GM muscle car ,as we could get back in late 60's early 70's (check the shape of it)

i'm still biased though..i probably couldn't get suscribed here in the Netherlands ,but having relatives in Germany..i should be able ..sort of..

already got one in 1/18 (slightly modified) diecast..

think i need to sleep on it..long and hard..

That would be great in a 1/24 plastic kit

Very cool, I actually had one of those 1:1 over 25 years ago. I always liked them better than the GT.
