For the Porsche 908 Resin Kit I bought some parts quite a while ago. The only decal set I found was sold via “Jens Scale Racing” and was made by BvH. The Sheet is for the Gulf coloured 908/3 which was raced by the Werksteam in 1970. There are decals for two cars, the Targa Florio and the 1000km Nürburgring. I will try to make it the Targa Florio Version, which I also have in 1/32 by Fly (upgraded with Slot.it parts).
Together with the decal sheet I also got me some Colour, the Werksfarbe “Gulf Blau” (Gulf blue), and a technic kit for building a car compliant to the DSC rules. These kits are good value for money and you get everything you need to build a chassis ready to compete (remember, I have 2 of them).

Sad news .. we gave Allen too much support by buying his cool Star Wars Kits. In his last newsletter he had to announce that:
On July 20, 2009, Fantastic Plastic received a “Cease & Desist” order from Lucas Film demanding the removal of all unlicensed products from our Website. In compliance, we have retired all “Star Wars”-related kits to the Virtual Museum Store “Hall of Fame.” We will no longer market or sell these or any other kits that fall under Lucas Film’s jurisdiction. If you have any questions about this situation, please feel free to write us at fantasticplast@aol.com.
original quote from the fantastic plastic newsletter July 2009 – do sign up!
I do encourage everyone who has had an interest in the Fantastic Plastic Kits to have a look at the other kits available. I especially like the current release “Bubble Fighter” in 1:48 scale but currently can not afford any more kits … the next post shows why.

I wrote about this kit already when I was telling you about the foiling. A couple of weeks ago (yeah, told you, I was lazy!) it arrived and I am quite pleased with it. There will be a bit more work attached to this model, but I think it will be within acceptable reach.

On Saturday the “Fantastic Plastic T-47 Snowspeeder” arrived and I was so thrilled by it, that I had to do something right away. So I took out some 400 grit sandpaper and happily started sanding away on some of the pieces.

Bought on E-Bay for a price you wouldn’t believe … anyway, this 1:72 scale kit by Fantastic Plastic is only a handful of a completed model, but can become a nice base for a little snow diorama. Fantastic Plastic has a page on their site dedicated to every model they produce, here is the 1:72 scale T47 Snowspeeder page.

For quite some time now I was looking for a 1/24 scale Porsche 908/3 model. Finally I found a quite inexpensive resin slot car kit made by MNS. I got the kit of eBay for around €30,– including a driver figure.

Previously I have built two kits of Steve Bennets “Sideline” Series, namely the Midge Freelance Motor Truck and a Flatbed Wagon. I have another of the Flatbed Wagons unbuilt and unpainted so expect to see something more at a later time.
