Anyone else get the mail from Kalmbach/Finescale about Agora Models for sale?
Included in their list was a 200 scale Bismarck. I dug a bit into the listing. It is die cast with 1900 parts. It comes pre-painted. Included in the selling points are the motorized, rotating turrets & propellers, a foghorn which sounds, and the light up search lights (But wait, there is more). The pictures show PE railings. The kit is a subscription project available in 12 or 24 month installments. Including shipping & handling it will come out to roughly 1600 dollars American, slightly more to Canada or Mexico.
They also list Zeros, Shelby Cobras, and Terminator Exoskeletons
I think I'll pass
Took a 1/2 hour reading through all the yap on their site. If I ever preorder something for so much money it better be red and have four wheels.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Hi Bill;
I would say Black and Anthracite, Carry a lot, with Leather seats and a Turbo engine.
A model for that much, Nah!. If it was a classic Pocher I could see it, Maybe?
Makes me wonder what happened to D'Agostini?

And have a black prancing/rearing horse emblem.
Though if you add up a kit and every goodie A/M piece, paint and glues, you're almost there.

He gave me gifts when he came through so mom felt ok feeding and lodging him.
He gave me some nice gifts. One was a Auto Union Grand Prix car, big scale about 8'" long. Probably got it for working a sausage plant in Dusseldorf.
Knock offs that unscrewed. True sprung chassis.
Die cast stuff is nice. I don't like sticking stuff together with epoxy though.
I wonder what the metal is.

My father, sorry to repeat myself but he was a big deal in my eyes; went over to Europe a lot when I was young. He was the manager of the team that did not buy Concorde for UAL but did buy Caravelle when the Lockheed Electra fell through as a mid range fast schedule aircraft.
While he was in England he brought home Corgi and Humbrol stuff and while he was in France he brought home one by one a complete collection of Tintin books.
It is nice to see a company try to sell something unique. I think they try too hard to sell Bismarck as the greatest battleship ever, which most modelers probably don't fall down in awe over.
My Alfa had good points- dual side draft Weber carbs; and bad points; Magneti Marrelli electricals.
I've looked at it quite a bit, that and the T-800 Terminator. I do have to say they look very well done but holy cow on those prices ! Definately too rich for me.
