My problem child
BAD *** DIECAST "PROBLEM CHILD" that is. Although these are not automotive, they are certainly high performance (and OMG they are nice), they are unusual and might be of an interest to those viewing here.
If you are even slightly into drag boats or just like the unusal and/or fine detail 1/18th scale diecast...these are what you want! Furious detail like those other guys with removable panels on the bow, port and starboard. Midship there is a removable cover over the engine and out at the stern is a steerable rudder and twin shaft drive props that spin freely. Opening the cockpit is like looking into a Formula 1 racer. Bear in mind, this is a pre-production Sample so there will no boubt be some changes such as the addition of a third parachute and the steering mechanism is supposed to work to actually steer the rudder, it is very tight on this sample and is being corrected.
Another feature on this I did know about until I was just playing with it (either that or I broke it!) the entire cockpit capsule pops out. I beleive the red one is a production model so I will pop that out today and have a look. Just great detail all around!
