Don't show me these things! The salary just arrived today and it has to last for the whole month.

Yes, Tom. I was pleasantly surprised. Have you got your model yet?


Andrew.

I have my 1/43 version, so I don't order MCG 1/18.
It's already a bit crowded in my display case.

Andrew.

Stores in CZ have it also in stock.

I was a little worried that the quality and detailing might be poor on Model Car Group's models as they are significantly cheaper than Minichamps or Norev 1/18 scale models. I bought an RS2600, just to see what they were like. I needn't have worried as they look to be fine, and are good value for m...

Není zač!

pbar wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 6:30 pm Thanks Tom, but are you sure you can browse through all the products, etc. The title page now loads but all of the links don't seem to work.

I try few products and it was ok.
Also loading time was ok.


Tom

Now, web works fine also from CZ.

Poirot is the best.

I don't know Cadfael. Looks like it was here only on DVD from 2010, but it has very good rating.

Actually Hercule Poirot confirms that it is not the scam.

Did you buy one, Tom? https://i.postimg.cc/dtLFnPK5/WP-20240217-15-42-14-Pro.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/9QHWf8v1/WP-20240217-15-42-26-Pro.jpg I compared the ERS 34 to the aftermarket one on my car, and it's identical in every single dimension. They are both rated at 13 psi. I just can't see a reason ...

Not quite, these are custom display cases but they show which 1.18 scale Professionals cars are available first.

I see!
This is all MCG 1/18?

I wouldn't have thought that anybody actually believes the blagging of parts and services to be genuine. Why even have it in the show?

Andrew.

It's a waste of viewing time that could show mechanical works that most of us want to see.

too!

MCG also did 1/18 Escort RS2000:

Looks like they do only Doyle's cars.


Tom

That's good price for 1/18. I found it here in CZ for similar price.

And thanks T.M for the booklet pages, it's very handy to have

You're welcome.

78GB-8100-AA (ERB 34) Surely the `78gb` is the model year for which the part was introduced/modified, so to say "Don't use on Ford cars after 05/1979" seems contradictory? Do not use before would make more sense. If Andrew says it`s the same I wouldn`t worry. Yes, I try it. ;) But it's st...

I just can't see a reason why it can't be used on the 2.8. After all, it is made to West German specification and it doesn't get more precise th...
