Here are some pictures of the new FLY GT-40 received this morning.
I tried to do my best for the pictures. I am not a specialist in slotcars, my apologies to the perfectionists.
Nuro will post some better ones as soon as he will be back from Farnham.
I'm in love with those headlights and the fact that the brightwork ain't as, well, bright, as the Hornby offering. Those knock-off wheels look much better.
And they've included the little lights on the numbers. How long till Swiss gets these working?
No comment from Moped yet. Is he on holiday, or just hiding?
I'll say this much.............
I bet Fly's rear spoiler doesn't fall off as easy as Scaley's does (did)
Also, the driver's head does seem to be of correct proportions.
It does seem to have a meaner stance than Scaley's version.
Can't wait til they make it to the states, as I'm sure at least a couple will end up in my dungeon
QUOTE I found myself quite efficient with a screwdriver.
Hey Doug, seeing that Mrs Nuro is pretty handy with a screwdriver now, there should be no need for you to do those odd jobs around the house!!!
Thanks for calling in on us on your wirlwind tour of the UK. Look fowrad to meeting up again
Cheers SEan
Review - It's coming tonight we hope, as long as I can stay awake ! 8 hours driving on top of the drive from Colne to Folkstone via Birmingham, Tingewick and Ramsden, has taken its toll - Thanks for doing the night leg Nuro!
In the meantime, here is the reason my better half was in a strop when I got home...forgot to tell her these were on the way
Howdy;
I really want this car. I am hearing sad news,and this is troubling.
I have waited for this car from this manufacturer since I started this hobby.
(Lots of this's Huh?) She is so pretty. All I wanna do is get some.
No worries Steve123! Colpar will be getting a bunch. And at current US Fly prices they will be on the shelf with all the other Fly's that are not selling.
Steve123, Yes I am here in Denver too. Tom is getting 10 #9's and a couple box sets. Should be here this afternoon. Usually after lunch they get there stuff out. If you want the box set it will move fast I think. The #9 car will be around a while because just about everyone has the Scaley version.
The German GT40 looks superb!
Excellent photos!
Out of curiosity I had a quick look round for UK suppliers of this car and it would appear that they are totally sold out - not in the least surprising. Hardly any less surprising, but contrary to the ravings of a certain person many months ago on another board, the Goodwood set of dirty GT40s is still very easy to obtain at less than the original list price.
Ten thousand was just a tad too many, I fear.
Probably several tads too many in actuality!
