Davidus,

The Mercedez with a chick on the side is a limited edition version by Tamiya but I think you can find it in HK.

Those are great, Octopus!!

The CLK has always been one of my favorite racecars, and you certainly did it justice.

I knew there had to be more car builders around here. I think we need a group build. J/K Jim. #:-)

I believe Revell makes a few. I can't think of any in particular off the top of my head that I can attribute to CART so they maybe IRL cars I'm thinking of. Michael Andretti is the only one I can call to mind. I do recall seeing Toyota powered models on the shelf though, so that would indicate CART. Toyota just entered IRL this year. I've got to go the HS that sells them here tomorrow, I'll make a point of seeing if they are CART or IRL.

OH THE HORROR!!! All the paint and the glue, and . . . and . . . OMG!! PLASTIC KITS!!!! The things I gotta do for you guys.

They had one classic Indy 500 car, and 1 CART car. It was Scott Pruetts 1999 Pioneer Reynard. Revell no longer has it in production but I know that they made others. The stock at my shop is low because this hobby shop is having a model car contest so a lot of the car kits have left. The kit was $15 USD. You can probably find them on eBay or if you want that one I can get it and ship it to you.

TF,

It really pangs me that I put you through all of that!! You're a good man to put up with all of this, I don't know if I could take that pressure!! Be strong!!

Thanks for the offer, I just found out a new modelshop here in Stockholm is fronting their buisness with cars first, instead of the german tanks and planes. I haven't perused their lists competely yet, but it looks promising!! I'll pass this time, don't know if I have the mind to send you in once again to that wretched place...

You're a bud!!
