For some reason, I can't help laughing

Whoever did that boxart now works for AMT/RC2 and continues the fine tradition.

Re: The Oddest Thing Ever...

I can't believe my eyes!! (which are watering with tears of laughter BTW)

Is this for real?!?!? Is there really someone out there who went to the effort of (probably) making an pirated copy of a kit, decals, boxart etc etc without even the SLIGHTEST idea of what they are doing?

Or is it an early April 1st joke?

Re: The Oddest Thing Ever...

The strangest thing is the vendor has apparently listed it without realising the discrepancy of a "Toyota Lancia". Not to mention the very high importance he places on the length.
You can kind of understand non-english speakers being confused with the words, but shouldn't the pictures have been a bit if a giveaway?

$12 is almost worth getting it just so I could boast this super rare kit as part of my budding rare kit collection...

Funny, I was thinking the same thing! Why do I expect they're not going to make alot of them? But wow, to have the the elusive Toyota Lancia Stratos built up in my display case....

Re: The Oddest Thing Ever...

What makes me laugh is that this is apparently just one in a series of cars. I wonder what the others are......

If they made an Audi Porsche Beetle I would be all over it.....
