Thrust SSC land speed record models?
Posted by echolmberg on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 11:58 AM

Hi gang!

Does anyone know of any kits or even die cast models available for the Thrust SSC (or was it called "Thrust II"?) land speed record holder?

Thanks!

Yupp!

Grand prix models in the UK has both the Thrust II and SSC, not very cheap but available.

Awesome!  Thank you Niclas!  It's not my money anyway.  It's for my brother-in-law who is big into those land speed vehicles.

How are things in the land of my ancestors?  My last name is Holmberg and all of my ancestors came from Sweden.  I'd like to go there some day.  My brother is big into genealogy but we sort of hit a roadblock when we get to the Swedish side of the family because we don't know the language and therefore can't read the documents.

Thank you for the info on the cars!  I'm going to pass it along.

My pleasure.

If you for some reason, sometime hit sweden give me a yell and maybe we can meet and I'll show you around my home ground. There's really a lot to see around here if you're in to ancient history. About 2½ hours drive away we have the old viking grounds and here in town we have the oldest stock holding company in the world dated about a thousand years back in time.

So, feel free to pop by any time, maybe not so easy to do just that. But anyway Sign - Welcome [#welcome]
