Nice! I wish Smer would rerelease the other old Merit kits, too

Lovely!

Thanks, guys...

I also wish you could get some of the others! I don't think Smer has the moulds, though.... I don't know where they went, mind.

Something that makes me a bit suspicious is that there are quite a lot of "Merit" kits available for high "Buy It Now" prices on eBay, with boxes, but the ONLY ones you ever see are the Alfa and Talbot Lago. It just seems a bit of a strange coincidence that the kits found in "shop stock" are the ones you can still buy the plastic for (and at a very reasonable price from Modelimex). Why does no one ever discover a hoard which has the Cooper, the Maserati or the Ferrari in...?

bestest,
