New kits on the way...

[VRM]

Seems like I may be the only one interested in kits, but since I like the deep growly sound of my own voice I'll post anyway...

Coming soon from Model Factory Hiro (MFH)...

Everything I am mentioning here is 1:24th scale - about 6-8 inches long.

The 427 Cobra Daytona type 65 Super Coupe. Expect the price to be around $250-$275 for an unbuilt kit. MFH kits usually have resin cast bodies, interior tubs, and dashes, and white metal for things like engines, suspension, and interior bits. The suspension bits are usually not very well engineered, and they frequently have trouble supporting their own weight. Racing decals are not always accurate (though this one only has stripes so it should be OK). Their turned aluminum is usually very nice and the bits here (headlights, taillights, wheel rims, Weber intakes) look just as good as anything they have done. It looks like the rear end is a separate insert that might not fit properly 9see third pic) - this is not really accurate as the rear is all one piece on the real car.

MFH has other Cobra kits available Their 427 is not terrible, but it is very expensive considering that there are other options in plastic for under $30.
Their regular Daytona Coupe is not bad (though details are wrong for specific cars). Their FIA Cobra is really a mess, and has a lot wrong with it.
