p.s. I will not be posting this anywhere else, so feel free to do so as you see fit.

:) Thanks for the up-date.The Accurate Miniatures M-1 sounds interesting.
I wonder if the M-1 kit is the old ESCI kit?The Cobra should be nice
,but I hope it is as nice as some of the newer Fujimi kits.:D

[Lug Nutzz]

I agree, I can't wait to see the M1. But put me on the list for the Magnum.....of course!

[Firehawk]

Let's just hope the Cobra is nicer than Fujimi's "version"! Will be hard to believe someone tooled a new M1, have to suspect it's an ESCI, Accurate Miniatures has recently done some 'box engineering' in their aircraft line.

If only Accurate Miniatures had done the 57-59 Testarossa to begin with... sigh

Looking forward to the Ferrari 599, not much else though. I don't know the story on Hasegawa's 348s, I think Dino built one and there were goods/bads vs. the Fujina kit. Care to elaborate? Any caveats on the 328?

Ditto on Cobra; but I can't help but think they're not going to be that lame. Let's hope.

Hasegawa 348 is full-detail w/some shape issues (Alex has one on his site IIRC), the Fujimi 348 may look slightly better. $45.95 for either one of them is insane. The 328's are pretty good, I built both back when they came out, still have the silver GTS. I'd buy another GTB for $25 or less, for $45.95 I could care less :rolleyes: Of course the $45.95 is based on Steven's price, the yen price from Japanese sources may be more like 2500-3000 yen, a price that would seem fair.

I spoke too soon above; HLJ has preorders for the Hasegawa Ferraris for...2850 yen, or 3000 yen if you don't order by Oct. 17th. Those prices are fairly normal for full-detail Ferrari reissues. As suspected, the US distributor's wholesale price is about what Japanese retail is.
