dangermouse Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Looks better than the first one in my view - will be getting this one for sure DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarKraft Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well, the wheels are more accurate for a start. But the 'pinstripes' on the nose are a bit heavier than the original. Hopefully it's a preproduction version. The grill still needs a little recess compared to the bonnet. Can't complain...

mattcrackers Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Was just looking at Ebay's new Scalextric listings and this car is up for sale in the US already. Hopefully we will see it downunder before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miveson Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Back in September the release date was around the 27th October for the UK. The US seller only has scalextric promo shots so doesn't actually have the stock yet. I find hotslots132 as a pretty good resource of knowing what is arriving each week in the US. I'm expecting mid-November for US/Europe and perhaps end of November for Australia. Quote Slot Car Photos V8 Tipping Competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miveson Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 These cars should have arrived today for anyone that ordered from the usual UK suspects....

mattcrackers Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Postage from the UK seems to take a little longer lately now for some reason Mark, someone may have one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miveson Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Bloody lovely.... that's all I can say..... superb attention to detail: The only thing that I find a bit strange is the rear window.

Ember Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Nice Mark. I agree. Rear window does look strange. Hmmm...I'll have to find the right DVD and check it out. Quote Computers.

KarKraft Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Stubbo can probably illuminate us more, but the Scaley model rear window has a kind of hump in the middle, almost like it is a 'w', and in this case not well fitted at the base. The real thing was purely concave, if slightly flat in the middle. You will find the grill is the biggest gripe, as it should be more recessed, something you can improve with a file. BUT! It is a really good job, as Miveson has so well illustrated. Great colour and details.

gazza Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Great looking car and the detail looks spot on I'd say someones been a bit heavy handed putting the windows in ..... Shame, but shouldn't be too hard to rectify Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggy Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Maybe a warm hair dryer to rectify the rear window? Is the rear axle / wheel still offset to one side like the #9? Thanks for the pics Mark Mine has been preordered with a site sponsor for months, and am happy to wait for my package.

superyob Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Would the 33 Falcon have been made from the same moulds as the 9? Judging from the pics this is not the case. There are to many flawed body lines on the 33 to be the same as the 9... Maybe the camera lies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
