Blame Javelin, longtime forum member and also a fan of scale models: He kicked off an unofficial GRM model car show this weekend.

I'm still in therapy for that one. And several eye surgeries.

Jon/AAZCD suggested I do my bodywork ideas on a model but I doubt it will happen in time for the contest. We'll see.

Can't go wrong with a GT40.

The Thunderbolt is sweet too, although I had axle assembly trouble when I built that kit some years ago.

The Tamiya 300ZX would be my choice, followed by the Thunderbolt. I have that GT40 kit, it's a really old mold and the fit is... fiddly. That 1/16 Ferrari will fetch big $$$ on eBay FYI.

The Boxer is actually one of the ones that has been started ( years ago ), but could be a good one to finish up. I think I may really start on the RC 300ZX and the Honda 750 engine..........then again........

I'd also like to see the GT40, but lots of good choices.

Well, I guess I've had several votes for the GT40, so I guess I'll start there.........then on to greater larger things. Or, I could multi-task and work on more than one.......hmmmmmm.
