fumi Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Entirely new tool. Not BTTF. Coming out in August. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1YBzDgkX5SRySBWt/?mibextid=oFDknk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Makes sense, the only stock part the BTTF kit doesn't seem to carry is the rear window/hatch area. Otherwise everything else that makes it the time machine is molded separately in the new BTTF kit which should be released in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Porter Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 So very happy they've elected to do a stock DMC-12. This has been a LONG time coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Kourouklis Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 AWESOME! The one thing I coulda wished Aoshima would do with this, they did. So happy, I'll get the BTTF version too. 👍😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Interesting new release to look out for. I bought a movie one some time ago with the intention of making a factory stock motor from it. Too much hassle to do so I sold it on. So Aoshima doing a standard at is good news to me. About TIME if you will excuse the pun !

Doesn't have to be plural. And yes, I know you are just being humorous. If you think about it, there are other Engrish phrases. Like "gull wing doors and rear cover can be opened and closed". Isn't that a bit silly? If they can be opened, they can certainly be closed. It would have made more sense to state "opening doors and rear hatch" That implies that they can also be closed. That will be one sweet kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it more like a decal for the instrument cluster, didn't even think about "one sheet of decals". I guess it could be either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Single decal would be fine, long it's what Kurt suggested. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can be opened, they can certainly be closed. It would have made more sense to state "opening doors and rear hatch" That implies that they can also be closed. That will be one sweet kit! The finesse of language being lost in the machine translation is "functional", the doors and rear hatch open and close at the builders whim. "Opening Doors" within the context of Japanese kits means the doors can be posed open or left closed, but you have to pick one or the other. Aoshima's own Paganis are a great example of that. Those kits have multiple opening body panels, but you have to make decisions as to what is open and what stays closed during assembly - they don't function again afterwards. I mean almost every model kit made by U.S. manufacturers has an "opening" hood, but that just means it's a separate part and if you want to display it open it really implies - Display on the ground beside the car to show off the engine. Very few things besides Corvettes and the odd "Flip-Nose" doohicky had functional hoods. There was even that kick Revell & AMT/Ertl got on in the 90s where new kits came with really detailed hood hinges, but then if you installed them you were making your engine bay a giant dust catcher because the hood will be permanently open until the earth cools. Which looks better in a display granted, but then you can't actually close it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 And then there was the infamous Revell '57 Chevy Bel Air (that was in the early '60s?) with all body panels functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Considering "decal" is a shortened French word, "decalcomanie", does it matter? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh...they might function 2-3 times and then the plastic hinges would snap off and you had an exploded '57 Bel Air. At least with Aoshima's Lamborghini kits with Opening & Closing Doors they run on metal parts and last a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
