I would happily keep the votes going, but apparently there is a one-vote maximum...

I think one vote per is plenty.
But thanks anyway.

I was just hoping for a tighter race.

Dave - Can I make a second vote for the 'secret' Koolwheelz design of the Nostromo from 'Alien' (I read other posts here you know) ?👽👽👽

+3 for the Nostromo. I know single page is your "thing", but this one may be an exception...

woohoo! I think the Matchbox Escort is rallying a comeback?!!

See what I did there?

CoMe on RS2000 !!! Only want this due to being one of the cars from 'The Professionals '.

Thats a good enough reason for me!

I'm guessing you are talking about the British TV crime series?

...which I never saw or know anything about.

And I'm guessing that Ford Escorts were seen in the show
since they were a common car of that period (mid 1970s to 1980s)

but not necessarily the RS2000 Rally car?

For only €67.500 https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1007559 (about $USD77,000)

Count me in as someone who was ignorant as well of "The Professionals" until now...

From some rudimentary searches, it looks like one spotting feature of the rally cars vs standard production variants was four headlights vs two, with the rally version having four (two pair) headlights.

HOWEVER-

Various searches of "The Professionals" have referred to the Escort mkII, the RS2000, and the Capri.

Gotta love the interwebs for clear, concise, accurate information!

The Professionals. 😁

I see what you did, can you come up with similar references for the other models?

I'm still glad for your Black Beauty! Great car from your site.

Still working on the STV shuttle! Got the pieces cut, so planing the extra mods. Trying to round the nacelles first and fit some internal structure to support the sides...



I have a friend interested in the early concept craft, like the NASA concept craft that were never to be. Some of the early craft were featured i 50s-60s plastickits.

He mentioned the Haiyatta's science patrol jet from Ultraman tv series. I have never seen the show so I don't know if its any good. He sent an image [below]. I thought I'd share since you've featured other scify show craft I didn't know about until you made the kit. Sometimes your kits lead me to search new shows (or re-watch old Prisoner eps, thanks to a Lotus).

Is this something you'd like?

Want me to ask him for more images, if you like it?



Don't know, just trying to pass along the idea...
