In Search of the Northstar

Greetings to all. I'm obviously new to this board as this is my first post. Let me start by saying I've seen a great deal of wonderfully executed kits with outstanding detail. It's motivated me to reopen so kits that I've had sitting around for a long time. I've got around 80 unfinished kits that I need to get back to and complete.

My question is, does anyone know of a 1/24, 1/25 scale Cadillac Northstar engine in any kit? I would like to place it in a kit that I have started and then put aside hoping to find this engine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know about the engine, but...

Try explaining 256!! :evillaugh :evillaugh :evillaugh

I don't recall any kit versions af a Norhtstar engine, but I would start with the Tamiya Lexus LS400/Soarer engine - It looks good by itself but could be converted to a Northstar very easily.

Thanks for the welcoming and thanks Russ for the info on the Tamiya Lexus. I will look into that and see if it will work for my project.

I wish I had to explain 256 kits. The nice thing is, my wife doesn't mind my models. In return, I never say anything about the room full of fabric that she keeps.

The Shelby Series 1 has 4.0L 32V DOHC V8 from the Olds. Revel/Monogram has a 1/25 scale model of the car, and although the displacement is smaller, the block could be usable.
