Does anyone remember when Clarkson got his? So funny watching him trying to fold his massive frame to get in it LOL

The kits look just as stunning though.
Wonderland have this one:

Well with mucho thanks to Tomick, i have got hold of the trumpeter kit, with all ghe upgrade parts from 3rd party companies too at a right bargain price cant wait for it to arrive. Then the real fun starts, getting my head around it and trying to do it as much justice as i can with my limited knowledge and skill

I guess you mean the GT40.
DeAgostini did the Mustang, now complete.

The Altaya GT40 isn't available at present but we can hope.

Actually Altaya offered the Mustang first. I saw it on their website when I was looking for the corrected Millennium Falcon TP2 and TP3 everyone was up in arms about. They where at issue 45 or so at that time long before DeAg offered it.

I mentioned it as your post 23 looks as if you were asking if DeAg will do the Mustang - I was sure you meant the GT40 though.

I really hope the GT40 does arrive.
If not, I might have to get on with my scratch-build of one...

I know the thread is about the Altaya model but I began working on a scratch-build 1/8 model about a year or so ago.

I've got to the stage of a body shell, window and light mouldings etc, but then it was put away.
Too much to do still and lots on the go.
Maybe some time I'll get back to it.

Roy.
