Newsletter 442: The GT40 by MengOctober 21st, 2020
But off the record, we can tell you that we are looking forward to the moment we have the model on the table!!! The boss has already started clearing the assembly table to make room for the new kid. Although we will have to make use of that patience of which we scale modelers boast so much: we are seeing and suffering many delays and changes the product release date so it is very possible that we will have to wait a little longer.
We are overwhelmed by emotion and a lot of questions pop up in our minds: will there be decals to make other versions? will there be different versions of the model? is it going to be as awesome as it looks? Can't wait for it! : D
In the meantime, don't panic: you can pre-order your scale model at SpotModel right away, while you can also take home some fresh novelties to make the wait more bearable. :)
