I’ve had that 1/12 Lotus on pre-order for forever…lol.  I also have the detail up set on order.  Can’t wait to get them in my grubby little mitts.

Got any closeups of the Fairlady Z? I’m curious to see the kit from the side and to see the parts trees closer!

Love it, maybe you'd have or had to be in automotive manufacturing to understand it

I understand it completely, not sure why you are assuming I don't?, and that still doesnt change that its pricey?

Depending on how the construction of the interior and rear hatch area go, not only do the doors open, but it would also appear there's a perfectly good stock DMC lurking in there.  The literature displayed with it says - Over 200 Pieces for Easy of Paint (gotta love machine translation)...meaning none of the movie schtick is molded to the body or integrated into the interior pieces.  It'll just be a matter of whether or not you can build the interior and rear hatch structurally without putting all the stuff on there.

Looking at the parts breakdown, it looks like a simple transkit for the rear louvers and some interior bits would be all that's required for a stock DeLorean. I can't believe that Aoshima would miss the boat on a stock version.

It's a Kawasaki KH400 A-3/A-4, reissue with a different molded in color fuel tank. Was a modified new kit back in 2019 off a new tool KH400 A-7 tooled up in 2018.

A stock DeLorean designed into the kit would be nice. The new kit of the film version with all th bttf options looks good.

What scale?  1/24th, or have they gone bigger?   A 1/16th scale kit would be really impressive!

Yeah a 1/16 kit would be nice to bridge the gap between the 1/24 kit and that giant 1/8 month-by-month kit!
