nostab Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 That's a fantastic car. I have always loved that design. I'm going to go broke! Pre-Orders of the Tamiya Mercedes, Aston and Fujimi 512 are already going to kill me! Thanks for the heads up Eric. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
