The number 6 1969 winner (blue with the Orange front) has recently started from Model Space - They are about to start sending out Pack 4 ..

First off - lovely model and I subbed almost straight away. My hesitation is explained elsewhere and I wont rehash here. But it does look a good looking model and I'm looking forward to it - even if it now means I'm proably going to 8 builds running from Sept So ... for those of us not able to put down 500 upfront - what will be the situation for getting a stand ? Reading between the lines on the text of the 'collectors version' is it going to be an extra 20 quid on the packs 6 - 12 or will we not be able to get a stand ? Thanks

It's still just the Hachette one - I get the US was crying out for it but it seems a shame for the second model Agora release to be a licence of someone else's kit rather than an Agora original ... also it means that those of us currently on issue 54 wont finish until after pack 12 is released ...

Car wise - I’d love one of the revival (2007 - 2012) Fiat 500’s done as a 1:8 - preferably in Matt black - either the Arboth or the 2010 Blackjack ... (and yes - I have one of the Matt Black black Jacks 😉 )

I’m building the Hachette Sptitfire over here in the UK - What I will say is they changed there customer service and team and moved to a new distribution warehouse in January and over here the support has been fine ... I don’t think there’s any point in Agora replicating another current kit at all (and don’t confuse the customer service / distributor with the kit designer/model maker). Of course actully Hachette, Diag, Model Space, Eaglemoss and Panini are all using the same outsourced customer service and fulfilment company in the UK so all go through one place. I’m assuming Agora have made there own arrangements.

Talking of model ideas and the idea of iconic film/movie cars - the original spinner from Blade Runner would be my dream kit - obviously it would need to be built from a combination of the both the shell/models used in the Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 and some CG parts but still - a 1:8 spinner would be a no brainier on my account.

Hi Do we know if pack 1 is likely to ship soon ? I can see from my orders that pack 2 now seems to have slipped and be scheduled to Feb 28th so I was wondering if we could confirm if Pack 1 has started going out yet ? Thanks all John

Good question .... but probably should go in the general chat section rather than here 😉 Best G
