Though it has been out since late last year, I just learned about this kit.  Ordered mine today, along with the wheel and fork detail kits.

One of the best I have ever seen used to be on the forum, but I haven't seen any of his posts for a long time.
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

I like a drink. You know when people say 'I like a drink as much as the next man'? Not if I'm the next man, you don't.

I can't remember, but that dude built some awesome models. The one of his 916 looked real, until he put a penny beside it.  :D

Also, I'd been racking my brain trying to find that car he did.  [beer]

The saying "Nothing builds like a Tamiya" is very true.  they make some high quality models and are very true to their full scale brothers.
Some people are like slinky's.  They serve absolutely no purpose, but they always bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

He did a hell of a 916 kit build. I tried to find those pictures a while back, but they seem to suffered a case of "moved or deleted."
