Harry P. Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Final vote: 45 REAL, 11 MODEL. Wow, this has to be one of my biggest victories ever! It's a MODEL! And the funny thing is, it's built by the same people who built the model McLaren I used last week... and you guys guessed that one right! Better luck next time. Next ROM coming MONDAY!

Pete J. Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yea! I got one of the tough ones! The give away go me was the clear coat over the side badge and there are a couple of small covers for clips on the front bumper covere missing. Other than that it is a great model. Harry - who makes the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry - who makes the kit? It's not a kit, it's handmade/scratchbuilt. They make patterns (masters) for all the parts and then they're cast, either in resin (bodies, interiors), white metal (chassis, engines, suspensions, small details) or rubber (tires). Everything is then painted/polished and assembled. The models are totally scratchbuilt from the ground up... no "kit" parts of any kind are used.

Zoom Zoom Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I think if Harry had used the side view it would have been even more of a landslide for "real"...but I knew this one as soon as I saw it. 'Cause I knew where the other one came from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FujimiLover Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 WOW, good one Harry. The right/hand job fooled us all I think even though I never noticed what side wheel was on first time I looked at it. LOL! Can't wait for next weeks! This is fun, even if I get it wrong!
