Heller 1/24 BMW 328 Roadster - Road Version

[Junkman]

Heller is following up their competition roadster kit of a couple of years ago with a reissue of the road version.
It's announced for "Q4", whatever that means in France.

"Q 4" stands for quatrième quart which means 4th quarter of the year  (between October and December).

[Junkman]

Why so serious?

[chryslerjunkandstuff]

The world, meaning the modeling world, and the WORLD world, needs more pre-war German cars..

They built some beautiful, fast, and sophisticated automobiles..

I'd love to see a model of a Horch, or a Rohr one day..

Anyway, I'll buy one, always wanted to build this kit, didn't want to pay the prices that the non-building box collector types wanted for it..

I would think that the fourth quarter of the year would be the same everywhere…unless they have metric time in Europe or something...

[Luc Janssens]

Christian is making a cultural joke here. As the French always say "À l'aise" cuz the further south you go the less stress...so Q4 can easily morph into Q1 😉

Tho Germans while Pünktlich do have a somewhat similar saying, "Immer mit der ruhe"

And this concludes todays language/cultural lesson, Ha!

Now back to the regular program.

some people say "i'll meet you at 10:00 o'clock on Wednesday."

others "i'll see you towards the middle of the week."

I like the look of it, and wouldn't mind having it on a shelf.

Q4 is Q4 regardless of where you are...Oct-Dec. 

[sidcharles]

below the equator would it be Dec - Oct?

My watch says it's Q4 now.

By the time the 328 was introduced, most of the Austin DNA had been diluted. The 328 kit does have some great parts for builders of British cars, though, such as the six-cylinder engine (standard equipment in post-war Bristols from 400 to 405 series, as well as the AC Ace-Bristol [precursor to the original Shelby Cobra).
