Went to my LHS and found this one. Got a good deal because the box is slightly crushed but everything inside is good.

Beautiful build I hope to own one in scale 1:1 one day.

It's cheap as chips for what you get. I paid $130ish aussie dollars - about 70ish pounds I think. It's a bargain as nobody seems to want this kit. The CB1100R goes for hundreds of dollars same as the CX. Don't know why.
Yeah it is not my favourite bike but I want to build a 1:6 Tamiya bike and as you say it is considerably cheaper than the others I have found.

I have had my eyes on this kit for a while but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I look forward to following your build.

Got a good deal on this one because the engine was slightly started.

Have you checked gravity paints maybe they have something close enough?

Instead of thinning what you are going to use on a palette everytime are there any downsides to putting aqua color mix directly into the paint jar the paint came in from the store? I don't remember how much room there is for thinner in a new jar though.

First and I suspect not last for this year.

I only have a few Hasegawa kits but always thought they were real nicely done apart from always (almost) lacking a proper engine.

Very interesting, if it is a new tool I will buy one as long as the scale is not smaller than 1/32.

Weird.....nah allow me to explain. You will need ; 1 pudding bowl
4/6 jammy dodgers
1 can of birds custard
Place jammy dodgers in the bottom of the bowl and cover with custard. Microwave for 1 minute remove and stir then Microwave for another minute. Retreat to cave grap your spoon from the stash and tuck in
I have a feeling not a single spoon in your cave has paint on it...

Suddenly I don't think I have a problem anymore. Unless having too few kits is a problem.

The Cobra 427 is pesumably the decent ex Monogram 1:24 one, that Revell have issued several times in the past - if so, good to see it back as it is much more accurate than the 1:25 289 kit they currently have available. Not a surprise though that there aren't any new tool car kits listed this time, given the recent run with the new tool Jag E Type, VW T2 bay window and impact bumper Porsche 911, all of which are already available in two variants. However, I was expecting perhaps a T2 panel van, given what they have done with their split screen tooling and the Porsche looks like there are parts for future variants on the sprues (not including the USA federal spec headlights & bigger rear bumper overriders, which are presumably for the USA market boxing). It will be interesting to see what the VW & Porsche tooling may become in the future (the Jag is unlikely to have other variants, except perhaps a racing one, as the Series 2 & 3 are sufficiently different to require major surgery to the moulds).
The chrome spray certainly looks intriguing, especially if it is as good as that article suggests. I've not used Alclad as I don't have a airbrush, but the previous spray cans I have tried have not been good, unlike Molotow pens, which have been excellent.
Aren't new tooled cars usually released in the second half of the year? We probably have to wait until January 1st for that announcement.
Also I am excited about the 1/8 Trans Am.

I like the color scheme. I remember trying to mask off the gutters when painting the roof on the Tamiya version it was a h*ll and I eventually gave up. You did a great job on yours.

I have a Scalemates account and I manage a "Wish list" there and every now and then I re-evaluate what's on there with "Am I really going to build that?". I have been saving up for our version of Telford which is in 2 weeks, but as I said earlier I don't know if that's going to take place. I'm now thinking of moving that money towards a little Silhouette cutter to be able to make paint masks.
I use Scalemates too to keep track of kits I want I think that is my problem I get a constant reminder of what kits I want instead of forgetting. But perhaps the real problem is I never re-evaluate I only add more and more...

Have you bought Tamiya's 1/12 version yet? It's on my to-buy list (that list is pretty long).

As I suspected this arrived today:
It comes with a second set of wheels which I have a plan for. Unfortunately in order to realize that plan I need to buy another kit...

What CAR/BIKE kits have you recently bought 2?

The latest purchases. Realized when the R34 arrived it was the Nismo version I wanted...anyway now I got a reason to buy another kit.
Also got these markers, work much better than the ones I have tried before.
