This showed up last night. Will need some mods to make it look more North American, but I dig it.

Our post office is small with 2 windows. Now only one window can be opened because the can’t work next to each other. Plus our post office manager goes out in her own car to deliver packages. That’s dedication.

This looks interesting, but a real challenge unless you stay with all the custom body mods.

Couple of items from LB Production in Hong Kong. The new Land Motorsport/Monoplast sheet that allows either ADAC Masters GT or VLN liveries for 2016. This was a rare double championship as Land took top spot in both German Racing Series that year.

Also a set of 3D printed wheels to correct the NuNu BMW 320i, kit tires are a drop fit.

Latest eBay purchase just in & I'm very pleased!? I have one other Hasegawa kit in stash, but I've never built one. It comes with a load of photo etch plus belt fabric - awesome! The guy I bought it from had it since new: he trebled his money in storing it for me, so we're both happy. Will be done as the McRae 1994 Rally GB winning car. Just can't afford any slip ups in the build as spares won't be cheap!!

I'm sure you'll be fine, but let me know if you have any issues. I have a Hasegawa rally Impreza of some sort and it won't get built that way, so I might be able to help out if need be.

The MPC Thunder Charger!  You don't see those very often.  AFAIK, the '67 Charger in that custom configuration was only released once, in 1967.

For younger visitors, that was MPC's 1967 movie tie-in kit, tied to the American-International movie "Thunder Alley."  (The 1966 movie tie-in kit was the Fireball 500 Barracuda, from the movie of the same name.)  Here's the original kit and a still from the movie.

Couple of odds and ends from SpotModel...from Reji Model

The 1978 & 1979 Kremer Minolta liveries for the BeemaNuNu 935 K2/K3.

Then the Totip/Benneton livery for the Hasegawa Lancia 037 and replacement wheels for a Hase Legacy Rally kit (1993 RAC kit has the wrong number of spokes).

I'm glad you wish to restore this. The grille is placed upside down on your model. Just a heads up on that. The emblem is the clue

Having taken the Scale Auto magazine for more years that I can remember. It's a great shame that MCM is not available here in the UK!
