I'm still waiting for my kit to show up!!
This is really a comedy.
I can't seem to get the kit to my house.
As soon as it shows up I will see the darn thing everywhere and for less money, but for now. . .no luck.

COOL Nicholma,
How long did it take to get to you? I ordered mine from HLJ a few days ago. . .
Chris, when I was in LA the HobbyTown in the mall closed up and went away. . .the hobby shop that was left was mainly RC.
The HobbyTown we had here did the same thing, just closed up and went away. Had a one day sale with everything 20-30% off. . .odd how so much stuff had my name on it with a special order tag. Never got the call on it and was told more than once the order was cancelled by the vendor. . .wonder why they closed up?

Kit ordered from HLJ not 10 minutes ago along with the Studio 27 detail set. However I probably won't be starting it until Christmas-New Year as I've several other projects I need to finish

MOW-BILE?? As in LA?
(Lower Alabama to those who have never been there)
What do you do in Mobile?
Is there still a hobby shop there?
I was in Beautiful Mobile from 1984-1989.
Anyhow, Moe must be just gluing like crazy since we haven't heard from him and we know he has the kit!

I suppose the nasty sound of crickets on this thread is because no one has the kit to start on yet. . .right?
I have the confirmation on my order from HLJ, Hope they can get it, The local hobby shop struck out again, third strike called, they are out.

Scale Motorsport does a really nice job, however they price themselves right out of my range. Some may think $170 is a fair price and I say buy me one too!!

Yes I knew about the Studio 27 set and it was the one I planned to get too because of price and quality. Howver if you really want to go berserk or use your lotto winnings then check out the acustion sets. There are 4 of them and a combined set for only a trifling 18500 yen what's that about US$170???!!!

Studio 27 already has a detail set out for the FW24.
I ordered the Williams FW24 from Hobby link Japan today.
We'll see who can get it here in my hands quicker!!

I've heard that Scale Motorsport are releasing their detail set for the FW24 early next year as well as their set for the Enzo Ferrari. A bit late for this community build but has any one else heard anything about this rumour.
