Only paid £12.00 inc postage, but reading on the 'net, it's the same model as the one I have with the blue & white car on the box lid ....

2 cans gave me 3 coats on the body, hood and firewall. Had to buy a 3rd can to paint the lower rear valance, spoiler and both front and rear bumpers due to the chrome falling off on mine (still sealed in the bags too).

Thanks. I take it from the remark about the chrome, you sprayed gloss black?

Picked up another bunch of parcels at my US PO box today and got another Revell snap 78 Blazer and the Revell 65 Chevy pickup and Hemi Hydro combo kit. Found a BIN auction for $12 for that one and had to jump on it! :D

I got the glass for a 1/12 Revell Camaro (Thanks Revell), some resin speed parts for the Flathead I am going to install in my '49 Merc Woody, an unbuilt '78 Chevy PU, and one of the '78 Ford Pickups.

That would be the original late 90s issue, which Round 2 later reissued in 2008 with the blue & white car on the box.

I found that out after I bought it, the box art is totally different so I thought it was a different model, but no, oh well it's not as though it cost that much, I'm sure I can make a decent model out of it ...

The kit you bought might have a different front bumper if it's an early (made in Mexico) issue.

The first run had an incorrect bumper that was missing the W-30 scoops beside the parking lights. I believe it was corrected when production moved to China, still with the same box art.

Regardless of which one you have, it's still a nice kit and a good deal.

Got my Primmer for the 1/12 Enzo kit

I had not thought that far ahead. I am still leaning towards the darker maroon Ferrari color. In which case i think white primer will be fine. Corso Rossa might require the pink. Ehat color are you planning?

I usually use TS8 on all my Red Ferrari's

May I ask who you ordered it from? I haven't found a source yet.

Thanks

The company I work for has a factory in Japan. I have a guy there buy it online in Japan cheap and ship it with what ever is coming to the USA.

I got a couple of Cobra's I didn't have. First is a die cast and the second is a little resin "cartoon" Daytona Cobra I ordered from Japan to go with the AC Cobra in the back ground.
