Thanks Dann. Happy that we all seem to agree that the metallic brown is a nice color for this car. But it will look great on almost every car. Brown is a widely underrated color imho. I saw images of a Countach LP 400 and a Huracan in similar colors. They looked great too! Btw, some time ago I did a Jaguar XJ-S V12 in (solid) brown... 16 hours ago, djflyer said: Excellent ! The brown is a great color also, very suited to the design. I have been a long-time fan of Giugiaro, whether its straight lines or curves, his designs have been some of my favorites. Its too bad some of his best work has never been kitted properly. Now that I think about it I might, I might have one or two in the stash and should do something with them. Thanks to you too, David. You should build the kit, it's very easy and nice to do, and it has a perfect stance box-stock! 5 hours ago, Dann Tier said: sounds good!....i'd love to build that!!

aurfalien Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hi, Your Boomerang looks very very cool. I had one ready to build, was gonna kit bash with a Bora for its engine. SMP24 did a full detail as well but it doesn't look any difference then yours. I'm sure this kit was finicky, looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until a few minutes ago I thought the Revell kit was identical to the Matchbox/ Airfix Bora and therefore without an engine. But the Revell seems to have one... 7 hours ago, Dann Tier said: Your Jag is Beautiful, bud!!, I have one to build here soon...the racing one. Thanks Dann. It looks okay due to the varnish. But this was actually my very first kit to be doing big-style BMF on and there was a lot be learned, which can be seen in the details. This kit was kind of a restoration work aswell because I bought the kit used and paint-stripped from another modeller. The kit is now easily available again, but it was pretty rare until a year ago or so, that's why. I love the car , that's why by now I have the TWR H.E. version (that you refer to) in my stock too, aswell as another (new) one of the V12 Coupe, the Convertible (which would require quite work to make a "full convertible" out of it) and the TWR Sports kit. Did I say that I LOVE that car...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the Fujimi kit on Hobby Link, but almost never the Tamiya Snap-tite Speedster anywhere. BTW that is Model Master metallic brown. I better steer the discussion back to the Boomerang! I found this forum discussion, but don't know Russian.

zak78 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Mikhail Petrenko is a very skilled fellow; he has a lot of WIPs that are still in progress, due to his absolute need for perfection to the last rivet. You can get in touch with him through AF, where he's known as Stratos75. I have two of his BMW S70/2 motors (McLaren F1 powerplant). He was the first to make these in resin, predating Hobby Design by about four years. I think I bought them in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt that what he started in the linked WIP did look good, modelling-wise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
