@chav It is based on a Gunze kit. The engine came from R&M. Enjoy!

Twin Saturday! Here we have another Ferrari 250 GTO from Alex Kustov. There are some minor differences. For example, this one doesn't have the Ferrari script on the trunk lid. Enjoy!

@lu That is a great list of details, thanks. Funny, Alex Kustov was looking recently to add the CMC GTO in 1:18 ... maybe this is where he gets his inspiration.

Clash Of The Diecast Titans Wednesday! Today we have a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Twister Special sample from Franklin Mint. Danbury Mint’s Twister was the first to market, so Franklin Mint did not release this one. In the comparison photo, the Danbury Mint car is on the left and the Franklin Mint version is on the right. Enjoy!
