Sunoco Saturday/Blue Vette Venue...

Really Wonderful photos Tony...

...the Sunoco production,with it`s brilliant array of gee-gaws, challenges the expected limits of 1/24 diecast !! When this was sent out by the MINT,was was the price?

If memory serves they sold somewhere around the $120 -$150 range.

April 2005. I did the initial review in February when the Mint sent me the model but, as most of the time, I embargoed the photos until release date.

thank you 🤔 

Have both, love both.

That DM Corvette GS looks more detailed as the (much older) 1/18 Exotos. I don't remember ever seeing that model. Here's Exoto's roadster.

Love THAT one Rich - FANTASTIC shots! Tony K sent me all of the Grand Sports. Hate to say, I only have a few select ones left!

Yeah, he used to send them to me until I trashed his Porsche 959 in a review. He had outsourced that image to Revell AG and he was asking triple for what it was worth.
