Does anyone know a UK distributor for the above company? I'm thinking their 1:24th Shelby coupe would look good on the shelf.

Gopher, you do appreciate that it's a resin kit? It's not quite the same as building an ordinary polystyrene model!

Check out the how-to's on the GPM site - IIRC, there's some good resin build info on there somewhere.

Yeah, NP built a number of resin kits including a 1:35th Russian Tank Transporter. Never had a resin car as until recently I didn't think that resin could produce the smooth finish required to give a good paint job without a lot of extra work but things have moved on and that body looks very smooth.

Yep, if it's from SMS it'll definately be good.

I've always wanted the SMS upgrade kit for the 1/12th 935 but saved my money and bought a lathe and milling machine instead!

I've been tempted by this myself and given the exchange rate it's even more tempting ! Looking at the pics on Scale Motorsport's website it looks like it will assemble like an injection moulded kit anyway - just a shame they've modelled the "Ugly Sister" of the Daytona family albeit the sucessful one !
