Welcome friends!

Will try to unbox and/or review a few car models that capture my attention.

    Really a very beautiful model - loving the details. Such a great model - although the re-work on the left rear fender is of course something not so fine but as you mentioned you bought it as a used model car. So things like this can happen.

    They could at least do some 72-74 'Cudas since they already tooled up the parts for the 72 Sox & Martin, and yellow street drag cars. I mean, why not make a few since they already have the molds for the grille, taillight panel, etc... Seems like a no brainer to me.

    The wheels are the same as the Gurney Cuda AAR Trans Am racer tribute car as is that front spoiler. It's pretty much a release of that car using the Pro Stock hood tooled up for the drag versions. Well, except for the Hemi. Personally, I think the misaligned doors actually enhance this one. It's supposed to be a cobbled up mess. Tempted by it but I have too many on pre-order and need to stop. At least for a while.

    Not seen one of these before but I really like it - there are some weird details visible if you know your VWs though; Dash is from curved screen Super Beetle/1303, whereas this is a normal, flat screen car. front suspension is very odd, the standard torsion bars are in place but not connected to anything, but then it has big A-arms between the front wheels. Think I'll leave mine on its wheels and not think about it too much...

    How hard would this be to take apart? A bit of paint on the interior details like knobs and dash would make it much better. Exterior is nicely done, though. I think they put the money where it's most visible. Their Challengers have some dash and door detail and look very good on the shelf.
