Thanks!

Looks nice, and a very popular car on the roads here now. At 1/32, the slot car guys will snap this one up.

Cheers, D

Andy,
Not my usual choice of scale, nor the fact it's a snapkit, but it does make a great entry model for anyone looking to getting into auto modeling, and maybe some Father/Son time as well.

D, I didn't realize that slot cars were still around. I guess that they moved back into people's basements as clubs?

Alive and well here Joel, most of the hobby stores offer a combination of kits, RC and slot cars. The store where we had the '51 Chevy group build has a large 5-slot circuit and a slot drag strip for free use by customers and on the Saturday build days there are commonly 20 racers around the circuit. About half of the store is stock for sale, the other half is open space for tables for build days, 5 paint booths fully equipped for public use, slot cars, train sets, and the back end of a ute converted into a BBQ for sustenance during the extended sessions.

Cheers, D
