Achtung! I Scored a KEEPER!
Posted by Hans von Hammer on Wednesday, October 1, 2008 11:52 AM

Heya Motorheads.. I finally nailed it down on Ebay after months of searching...

Been wanting this kit to go alongside my Revell 1/28th DR1 for an airshow/car show diorama I've been planning for some time...

Question is now, do I build it, or hang onto it?  It's a re-release, copyright is 1994, so I don't think the collector value is all that much, compared to a score on the '60s release, but...

Whattya think? Dio or stash it?

I'm leaning dio reallu heavily, but though I'd ask... 

Note: Since the scales are so close, I figure that it'll work even if I don't do it in a shadow box with forced perspective, as the Baron's car is rather small anyway.. Of course, the 1/72 scale Dr1 in the kit would work for a forced perspective shadow box as well...The figures I have are the ones with the DR1 kit, but if theres a source for a kinda hot-lookin' airplane/car groupie figure in a similar scale, I'd like to get one... Any ideas?

True, I bought it to build it...  Now if I could find the Hot Wheels Red Baron as well... Hmmm I could use the 1/72nd Dr1 with that, and start a diorama of the diorama being displayed next to the diorama of the 1/24th car and plane , I could then make it look like....

My hair hurts now...

Think I'll just build it...
