Cool model. Do you think that guy could chew his nails any shorter?

I know right, he wouldn't have any fingernails left if he did. I like watching his videos. He is in South Georgia and seems like a nice enough dude.

Wow. What a great little model kit. I'll bet it would sell for a grand at a 356 Registry literature meet. I've wanted to find model kit like the one in the video to paint it black like my Speedster, so it would have a little mini-me. I didn't know they existed until this video.

I've had the Speedster race car he mentioned early in the video in my closet for decades. I've been waiting for the time to give it the attention it deserves. The race car version doesn't really look much like my car.

.



The box is a little worse for the wear from decades of being in storage.




This model came out back when I was dreaming of owning a Carrera.



I didn't build it because I didn't know what color my eventual Carrera would be. But I bought an airbrush so I'd be ready. I've had my Carrera for 26 years and the model and the airbrush are still waiting.

I bet if you laid a quarter on the body in the box it would surprise you. That looks to be just larger than a Hot Wheels.

It looks like it's easy enough to acquire one of those Tomy Kits off of ebay; you can pick up one for about 75 or 80 bucks after shipping.

Hijack - here we have a model of the legendary MP4/4 in "quarter scale" (1/87th.)

I don't have anything in 1/32 scale - that's kind of an unusual size for a car model.

Cool kit. The smallest model iv done was an army jeep it came with a bunch of guys and a trailer. Is like 1/2 the size of a hotwheel probably HO 1:87 scale. It came out surprisingly good.
