Re: Gran Turismo Movie Nissan GT-R

Definitely a download for me. How was the movie? If you are a car junky you will like it. Some other cars that appear in the movie that are worth mentioning Lamborghini Huracan STO, Porsche 911 GT3 RS , Koenigsegg Gemera. The story is predictable. The racing scenes are really good. Nice seeing the ...

Re: Revell : 1/12 Ferrari 250 GTO

I didn't even know these existed until your post. Based on what I seen in the photos the exterior side is well done. When I display all else is usually closed. Pricing is reflective of the age and the fact Revell is out the scale model business, well from diecast scale perspective. https://i.ebayim...

Spark 1/18 Mazda 787B 1991 Le Mans 24 hrs Winner

The #55 Renown Mazda 787B driven to victory at the 1991 Le Mans 24 hrs by Johnny Herbert, Bertrand Gachot and Volker Weidler is about to be released. Photos look really good. It will be tough to top the same car made by AutoArt. That one is a true masterpiece.
