Re: new pontiac gto???

Hey,

Ertl has put out a 1.24 scale version under its joyride companyname. I was wondering if they (diecast and polar lights plastic model) are going to be sharing the same tooling. The hood opens, and has oversized ugly wheel setup-typical diecast. Hopefully, the plastic kit does better.

Re: new pontiac gto???

The Polar Lights GTO's will be plastic bodied pre-painted, just like most snap kits, but the paint should strip off with rubbing alcohol if you choose to paint it a different color.
The Ryhs car, I hope is true to the real car.
