What the postman brought today (AutoModeler)

Tomi,
Nice Haul. I see you have the Revell Jägermeister Porsche 934 RSR. I opted for the Tamiya kit even though the decals aren’t completely correct (missing Dunlop logos & tire decals). I had such a bad experience with my last Revell kit, that I couldn’t see myself buying that kit.

Jim,
Sorry to hear about your poor experience with a Revell of Germany kit. Just what issues did you face building it?

Reason that I asked is that a while ago I bought my 1sr RoG kit, their Jaguar XKE, as I was more then lucky enough to be a passenger in one many times as my one of my college friend’s father owned one. Also was part of the crew at the shop to do a complete clutch change (not by the book by any means) on one. the kit so far has been a very complex build just to get to the priming stage as I’ve been working on it in between my McLaren build as that one needs some serious breaks for mental health reasons.

Jim,
Thanks for the heads up. Going to get another kit myself as Rodolfo’s build really got my mojo flowing to build another one much sooner then later.

Got this today from Model Factory Hiro - I missed it the first time around . I happened to be visiting their site last week just as they announced they were re - releasing
it for October so I pulled the trigger . Glad I did as it sold out in a few hours .
Arrived via Fed Ex a few minutes ago, complete with a hand written note and Origami Crane !

I hope to do a “What’s in the box “ review in the near future.
Cheers- Richard

Not many model companies give you a hand written note from the CEO!
By the way I think the 1950 version is still available for you Vincent fans out there.

cheers

Well what have we here? This will get tongues wagging :rofl:

Never fear, I haven’t abandoned all hope and gone to the dark side :sunglasses:

These were gifted to me by an old friend who had a minor stroke recently and has lost a lot of the dexterity in his hands. He is a Ford fan and had intended to take up modeling but is now unable to. I told him I will build them (reluctantly :crazy_face:) and give them back for him to display.

Cheers, D
