Hi again
My first car kit since our first UK Covid lockdown arrived today and, fittingly, it’s by the same manufacturer as the last one:
As with my previous US car kits, I bought it from Supermart USA. They’ve consistently beaten UK prices by a wide margin and delivered post-free (via Amazon Prime at least) really promptly.
I’ll try to review the kit before too long.
All the best

I have soooooo gotta get me a 3-D printer!! Great score!!!
Looking forward to seeing that 917 being built. Gonna start a thread on it?
Littorio: The Subaru is a fun little car. The 917 is one of my all time favorite race cars.
Richard: That is an awesome little machine. Looking forward to see, what you can do with it.
Rowan: Beautiful car. Moebius makes some amazing kit’s.
Richard,
Another super impressive pc of machinery for sure. Of course I don’t even own a working Dremel these days, so I still model the old fashion way. Needless to say, I do envy you, and your skills to work with all these miniature machine tools.

Rowan,
Looking forward to seeing the big C300 built and finished. the thing was literally a monster back in the days. A limo that wasn’t classed a Limo for sure.

Hi Joel
I can tell the Chrysler 300 was big just by sitting the body shell side by side against Moebius’s Hudson. I think I’d struggle driving one of these beasts around some of the winding streets and lanes we have on the Isle of Wight! 
All the best

Rowan,
Now ain’t that the truth. Those Chrysler C-300’s were so big that they equaled the Fleetwood Caddy’s of the day. But driving one was a nightmare in our narrow development roads. I only know that too well as one of my friends had a used one years after it was traded in or sold a few times. Truly the tank of the street back then.
joel
Hi Joel
Wow! It’s hard to imagine a car actually being too big for some American roads!
We probably have a false idea in the rest of the world that pretty much all roads in the USA are wide and easy to drive along.
All the best
Rowan
Rowan,
That all depends on where, and the economic status of the area. After 40 years they’re finally repaving our local roads as you just can’t fill the pot holes any more, and some of the roads looks like they were imported from a war zone. In the older sections, and I mean pre both World Wars, even the really wealthy areas have roads that maybe two cars can travel in opposite directions, some roads are even narrower then that. Of course our major roads are all 4 lanes around here, so the kids have plenty of places to decide where to drag race at night.

Well the postie has visited,
Heller’s Renault R8 Gordini,
Apex airbrush,
and the David Piper green from Zero paints for my Porsche 917K
Andy 
Andy,
Great haul for sure.
Way back in my MGB racing days, I had the opportunity to take a few laps in the Gordini at Bridgehampton as the car was for sale. I honestly don’t remember much about how it drove, but it was surely a proper race car.
i hear only good things about the Apex AB from International Scale Modeler. I’m looking for my 3rd air brush so I can have one AB for primer/color, one for general parts painting, and one for Clearcoats. So please post how the AB goes through it’s paces as I would really like another opinion or two besides Paul’s.

Hi Joel,
Its a classic looking car, and after building the Renault Alpine110 I have a load of Alpine Blue left over and this fits the bill, for using the paint and having a classic in the collection.
I would imagine it was fun to drive.
Well after watching Paul using the airbrush I thought I would give it a shot. I haven’t even taken it out the box yet, but when I use it I will let you know how it handles.
Andy
Andy,
Like I said, I don’t remember much about the few laps I turned, but being a front wheel drive car, I’m guessing that it liked to oversteer on entry.
joel
Well I did just get something to go with my Meng Kawasaki H2R. I usually don’t do figures but I need to expand my skills.
Hi Joel
Wow! You could almost be describing the Isle of Wight with most of that - but four lanes are unheard of and we’ve only got a couple of short stretches of dual-carriageway.
I can imagine a car like the Chrysler 300 would be the ultimate in frustration here, knowing that it really wants to “go” - but not having a road that it could even begin to stretch its legs on. I think it would be a case of booking a slot at a local airfield. 
All the best
Rowan
@Merlin, great to see your car stash growing, and a very nice classic addition as well!
@markiii, it will be interesting to see how that figure builds up! I have virtually no experience with figures having only recently started my first set (in 1/24), so I’m looking forward to following your progress.
I picked up a very welcome addition a couple of days ago, my first Moebius kit. This one has made its way around the globe as the second prize award for my 57 Chevy Nomad build in the Transatlantic Cars Group Facebook competition.
I’m hoping to get time soon to open it up and get a review done.
Cheers, D
@AussieReg
I’ll post it up when it goes together.
D,
I’m looking forward to not only your in box review, but you actually building it. It most likely is the 1st Hudson that’s ever been posted here.
