Re: What is your latest model purchase
This one has been on my wish list for a LONG time and I finally stumbled across one....and for only $120! Not going to haggle, gimme, gimme, gimme! And now I also have Top Studios Super Detail set on order.....I hope my eyes can see all that detail to assemble all that detail.

Re: Nitto Ferrari 312T3 in 1/25 or so
Ah, the good ol Nitto/Entex/Blue Tank/ whomever else produced those back in the day. Those were my first outlet into building F1 cars back around 1982. I always wanted to cut out the moulded in driver as well but had ZERO modelling chops back then. I "built" the BT46, Lotus 79 , M26 and JS...

Re: Lotus 98 carbon fibre color?
Wow, sorry I missed something. As I look at the perfect picture of the front wing in Komakais Lotus 97 book, i'm going with pewter. Maybe a lite coat of smoke. Spoon test that to see if I like it or not.

Re: Lotus 98 carbon fibre color?
No, this one. The one Senna nipped Mansell with in Spain 1986. Notice both the front and rear wing have a bronze hew to them.....because they're carbon fibre. The question is whether the carbon fibre is bronze or pewter ( with the hew coming from reflecting the sun).

Lotus 98 carbon fibre color?
I have been researching photos of the Lotus 98 ( and earlier cars) trying to determine which color carbon fibre they used and I can't decide if I am seeing pewter that is reflecting a bronzish hew or if I am actually seeing bronze. Has anyone seen this in person and can tell me which I am seeing?

Re: Moto GP season opener
My only problem is that 2/3 s of the grid have black and red leathers on black or red bikes. Makes it easy to cheer for the VR46s
