2/2/98

Real car
Purchased:

Since my Datsun died on me in a street so often, I had to look for and purchase another used car, and look what I got.

Model Kit
Purchased:

TESTORS(ITALERI)
PORSCHE 944S &

HASEGAWA
PORSCHE 944 TURBO
RACING

Made by Italeri and sold by Testors, the kit captures the basics of the 944s. Some inaccuracies have to be corrected.

Since Italeri kit doesn't have a separate engine, I bought this Hasegawa kit, which's been sitting in a local hobby store for many years.

REVELL/MONOGRAM
ASTON MARTIN DB4

Reissue of an old kit. I bought it because I needed the engine.
