Well, the local model shop was having a huge sale, so I hit it up. I picked up a Revell Viper SRT10 Coupe, Corvette Z06, an AMT 300C, and a Back to the Future Part II DeLorean.
I was very surprised when I opened each kit. First, the Z06 came with the normal C6 parts! I was very scared, because I saw C6 wheels, but no Z06 wheels. Luckily, those were revealed shortly. The Viper, I found out, has an opening rear hatch. I like that, very cool. The 300C doesn't mince on words when it comes to instructions. In face, the instructions have no words! And they are very much into multiple things in a step. I think the whole car is done in about 7 steps. Finally, the DeLorean. The car is very well made. I can't wait to get working on it. The wheels actually fold, like in the movie. But here's my problem. The entirety of the instructions are in Japanese! Does anybody know of a site with an English translation? Because whereas assembling is just follow the pictures, I'd love to know what colors to paint, and where!
