1. That is pretty cool

I'd like to see it in person (assembled) but I'd never fork out for it. If I were to shell out big bucks for a hobby, something like this would really excite me.

Go to the 2:25 mark of the video if you just want to witness/hear the takeoff. This baby streaks across the sky!

9. COOL!

10. Yeah I have some R/C planes....

.....incld a FW-190 with retractable landing gear and flaps.....but you need big spaces and low wind and it sucks when you get your $300 toy stuck way up in a tree or stall it into a vertical landing....lol

2. Tempting...

only 22 months

3. I am very tempted. I have never built anything before.....but there is always

the first time.

Have you done this kind of thing before? Can a novice do it?

4. I have done tons of modeling in plastic, this is die cast and mostly screws, looks pretty easy:

Plus it looks pre-painted:

5. I tried building a (Revell?) plastic kit of that...

...back in 1966 or 1967. Could never get the ejector seat to work.

6. Most likely in 1/32? This 1/8 is a nice big boy. nt

7. pretty nice detail inside:

8. They do a GullWing 300SL also...tough choice!

Plus Batmobile, BackToThe Future DeLorean, Ghostbuster's mobile and a Nissan GT-R for some reason.
I'd still have to go with the DB-5.

But not cheap, 85 weeks x $10.95 + $1.95 =$1,096.50!
But a high quality die cast model in this size is not cheap...they do let you pause your subscription if you need to or cancel.

11. Holy cow -- that is cool!
