Albert,
Thanks for your answer and I'll be calling Burbank's House of Hobbies to see if they can carry this new line, because I saw quite a few vehicles that I'd buy.

I am not going to put forth a single wish, since everything they offer is highly desirable. Just remember that JMK already made a very nice Jensen Interceptor, so I'd say that the Monteverdis come first!
As for the Saab 900 iterations, I believe that they will sell very well in all markets. They should be a good line to start with.

They surely have an exciting selection, but I still have some reservations as proportions, "body language" and sometimes wheel dimensioning do not seem to be their strongest point. I don't really see a keen eye behind many of these models. All Flashy, but many flawed. I reckon this will not drastically improve while turning to a much smaller scale, most likely on the contrary. But still exciting news.

It's funny to see how we expect quality models and in the States they already be happy with some Fresh Cherries for instance. But I guess, now they tasted from Masterpiece; Ricko and Spark, their demands come on a higher plan also. And when you see their own build models... Amazing! On the other hand... Jordan makes perfect kits for so many years already... It seems to be "all or nothing" sometimes. (just thinking loud!)

It's either WalMart and linoleum or it's hand-made Italian and genuine teak. I agree with Peter, some of the wheels suffer from over-sportiness, especially the Granadas, which all seem to be sitting on 215/50 R16 wheels rather than the correct 195/70 R14s. So easy to do right. Hopefully, image is less important to 87th scale collectors than attitude.

Have not noticed any movement on the Neo Scale website for 1:87. Any insider news? Need a few DAF 55s soon... Todd

According to Neo's staff in Nuremberg, it will rather be the end of the year until we get any models.

It's been a long time since we heard anything about Neo; are they still coming out with HO models by the end of this year or have they been delayed? Hopefully, everything is still a go and these will be carried by BHoH or Truck Stop Models.

Good news indeed! Any new manufacturer in HO is good news; all I need is good quality at a fair price and the availability of models in the US.
