Is that day-glo red Indy car an STP SMTS - the '67 Turbine car?
Been one of my favorites for years

Yes it is, I would love to see a detailed version...

Very nice Kevin. Slightly off topic...certainly off scale...
CMC are to make the Nostril Nose Ferrari in 1:12 scale. Should be a fantastic model. I just wish, however, that they'd make a 1:18 Vanwall. They have made a lot of Stirling Moss's other cars.

Nice models Kevin. Who are the manufacturers?

Faracars
This gas turbine car was made by Faracars, correct? I had one. The detail was great. The model was made in France. But it is the only one made by them, correct? I sold mine.

This is a Marsh model from England!

It seems like we get a lot of the same thing, we need more daring companies to expand, take a few chances and do things that have not been done yet, theres more of those than the ones we have to choose from now!

Marsh, SMTS, Onyx, IXO

I agree Kevin. However the problem is risk versus cost.
The small makers work on very tight profit margins, and to make something that might have some doubt about its popularity is taking a big risk. A non-seller could easily bring a small firm to its knees.
