I’ll happily take option 2 for sure.
There are plenty of decals to work with, and you know more will become available due to these releases.

I could live with option #4 as suggested by Mr Reinecke; WHITE KIT! :clap:

This could be made into some fairground hero type car very easy, with some mom&pop decals the limits are endless, I see this as a win win :music-rockout:

Other cars of interest for me.

Well crap. Then you go and show the Jags, which I've been resisting. Nice work. Sigh.

Javelin, Camaro, Jags...oh and the Monte. I guess I should just start selling blood now.

Haven't picked up a Javelin yet, but this one is speaking to me.

Engine Type: Small Block Chevy V8
Displacement: 302 c.i.d.

Documented History:

Laurel Racing owned and raced this Camaro. Laurel Racing was owned by Larry Drover, who is also one of the drivers of the car. In 1968 and 1969, Laurel Racing successfully campaigned a 1968 Camaro in Trans-Am, A Sedan, and endurance races. As a result of this success, in 1970, Chevrolet Product Performance was willing to support Laurel Racing’s race effort in Chevrolet’s new Camaro body style.

In 1971, Fushida Racers approached Laurel Racing about the possibility of sponsoring the Camaro in the Trans-Am series. One of the requirements of the sponsorship agreement was that the car be driven by Hiroshi Fushida. Hiroshi was an accomplished driver in many forms of racing. In addition, he had funding. Hiroshi Fushida is the son of the owner of the largest kimono manufacturer in Japan.

All new molds will be inline if it can be accomplished.

The chassis will also be independent from the body to allow easier float. This is only for the newest models and when it can be utilized given the model.
The Jag for example is NOT inline and a clamshell design. This is because it is based on the original chassis mold from several years ago.

Most new inlines such as modern GT Mercedes, BMW and Porsche will also have the more standard wheel sizes so aftermarket tire selection is easier.

There is no doubt that the wheels we have seen are close to the Slot.it standard, but the two part design has the shoulders of each wheel a few thousandths off. This means uneven footprint that is especially a challenge when trying to use silicone. Using PG urethane it is a non-issue as they are easily sanded. I do know new tires are under development for these wheels and will update this accordingly.

I wonder if the Dodge Challenger White will be a white kit(paint yourself) or a finished white Challenger like in Vanishing Point! Ooohh, hoping for a Vanishing Point Challenger.

I was hoping for a #76 Classic Wax Challenger as a sister car to #77 Posey Challenger. Ah well there’s always 2019.
