The Fiesta is still avaiable from BS Design in Germany. The Panda was made by Lion Models (Model out of production) I have a Panda in my collection as a full resin kit. I`m not jure about the producer. I think maybe BS Design or US Models or something simular. (There are copies of the Lion Model on Ebay too)

The lengh of my measurement is not from bumper to bumper. Its just the body! My models are originaly paked in a plasticbag as a kit. I have it in the original presentationbox with 2 X 6 models. I payed for this 56 Euro at E.Bay Germany. Thats under 5 Euro per pice. 17 Euro for one ??
My second box included 2 X 6 Formula 1 cars, also presentated as "1/87 Authentic scale model cars". But they are not at all 1:87!! 29 Dollar at E.Bay.

Please pay attention: This Doyusha models are not 1:87 !! Don`t believe the print on the boxes. I have this models and they are in the scale of the Lindberg Line Models. My models are not built but the size of the bodys are in Centimeter:
Corvette Sting Ray = 6,8 X 2,7 Chevrolet Camaro SS = 6,0 X 2,6 Ferrari Dino 206/S = 6,0 X 2,9 Ford Mustang 289 = 6,1 X 2,9 Dodge Charger R/T = 6,8 X 2,5 Ford GT 40 Prototype = 6,4 X 2,8
I guess, no one of this beautys are in a exact scale. They are realy perfect for homemade slotracers for the old Faller tracks, like the Lindbergs.

If its 1:87, it looks verry fragile to me. It seems to be not a serial keyring its more unique. The model is unknown in 1:87. The rings on my models are between 2.5 cm and 3 cm. The chain is big. I think its a model in the size of 1:64. Not smaller than 1:72.

Thats right, see at Busch: The SSK has a verry solid system. But the Autounion and the MB 196 are verry tricky indeed. The S.E.S Lada is a other good exampel for a small car. For me a good idea are the trucks from Herpa and Roco. Some of this trucks can be prepared additional with special steering kits.

The Citroen 2CV Furgoneta is the first Anguplas model with opening backdoors in 1960. Together with the Land Rover Camirro (Chapel) in the same Year. 1961, the Galaxie and the Fleetwood follows. 1962: Austin Sava Furgon and Citroen H.
Maybee some Trucks have movable parts much earlier, but i`m not a expert in that.

I have tested my IMU Karman hood just one time. Since this time the Karman is in the garage intead in the vitrine!! I`m fearfull to test the engine hood of Miber`s Diablo. Sometimes models have a moving part, and nobody check that out. All Trident Pick Up`s has a to open backboard. Litte quiz: Witch one was the first model in 1:87 with open door, hood or other parts?

The LM002 has his place in the history and in the heard of many carfans. He is just the father of the Hummer!! Knows anyone the history of this car? I heard it was originaly a military Jeep for a arabian land (LM001). But the deal busted and they modified it to a civilian car (LM002). -I have to check my bibliotek.

The Hight Tech Porsche is a piece of art! But the time for plastic models with opening something is the top 10 out list. For the price of the moldings you need, you get better another new item. To open doors is for the modelbuilders. ( So you sell more than one model to the same guy )

It`s a big different if you send with the post or a privat like DHL, UPS etc. Last year i get over 100 pacets from all over the world. Most expensive was Germany, because they want ship with DHL, member of the Deutsche Post. This cost about 17 Euros. Is the product over a worth of 35 Euros, the cost for import fees are around 60 - 70 Swissfranks extra. Second expencive was Swiss national. ( We hear all about, that we are the richest country in the hole world, so they have extra big prices for us ready. At the end, we are no more the richest, we are just the idiots, they pay too much for everything.) Cheapest were Argentina, Brasil, Mexico, the US and the countrys from the eastblock.

That 911 story has all to bee a own Topic! The Porsche 911S has 20 pieces. 01-10 Wheels. 4 rims, 4 tires, 2 axels 11. Body 12. Airslit on the hood. Only this part is glued. 13. Glass. Whishers are printed on. 14. Interior. Steering wheel inclusive. 15. Bottom 16. Front bumper 17. Rear bumper left 18. Rear bumper right 19. Headlight left 20. Headlight right
The separat bumpers makes it possible to print the lights verry fine and exact. And it makes it possible to chanche the normal bumper to a sporty spoilered bumper. The front bumper has the typicly "Export" horns whitch are not on the original version. The later S had also a little spoiler. And it is possible to show the foglights.
The engine hood is part of the body. And it includes the plug connection to the bottom.
The Carrea needs so a new body. On all my pictures i have, the Carrera has a Steel sunroof.

I`m jure to see the Targa from Brekina one day. To make the new tooling for a Targa is cheaper than the tooling cost of a comlete new model. We see the Targa within 1 or 2 years. Sooner makes no sence in the view of the marketing. Theres no Targa on the market, except from High Tech Modell.

Brekinas 911 is comming in 3 versions. But it looks like mor a marketing bluff. Actualy- Only on a little print on the engine-hood is as difference to see. Anything else is about engine and interior stuff; not to see at the model. Prices for the cars in 1968: T : 19`970 DM E : 24`700 DM S : 26`920 DM All models where avaible as Targa (+ 1`780 DM) Little mistake by Brekina: Only the 911 S has serial Fuchs rims, with the typicly Porsche styl. The others came with the same as we know from the 356 C. A good fiend of mine had a 911 T and he said, the most owner ( in Switzerland) chanched to the Fuchs. Its was probably a early kind of tuning. Brekina can make the 912 too. He has the old engine with 4 cylinders from the 356 C, and was built from 1965 to 1968. The same look has also the prototyp from the IAA Frankfurt 1968, the 901. But Peugeot complain this kind of numbers for their selves.

I`m jure, the Z4 Coupe will get a 1:87 pendant sooner or later. Bad luck for us, when this nice car ended as a diecast.

I buy allways new furnitures to have space for my unfinished kits. Sometimes i think i need a brocken leg to doo all the work. But the last i broke was my finger- no modeling at all.
