[ratman]

Gday all,
not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but I thought fellow E series fans would appreciate this news :

Biante announce EB Falcon model cars

http://www.biante.com.au/news_499.htm

........all I can say is - about time ! :1syellow1

Great news.

Interesting to note the (lack of) sponsorship on those cars compared to today's V8 Supercars. I'll take one of the "PackLeader" cars any day!

Excellent news

Now I know what to tell the kids to get me for my birthday ;)

Well done Biante Wonder if Classic Carlectables will do the EF & EL's?

[Gohan]

u would have to wait for a long time until they filter through places like Games World and Wats new and other places but weres the Road Cars like the EB GT?

Ordered mine last week - Johnson / Bowe Bathurst winner - it'll be released later this year.

JC, I'll think you will find that the Seton car is lacking the Peter Jackson sponsorship, which they aren't allowed to replicate. Which is a real shame because it does lack the authenticity.



Not a good pic but you get the idea

Yeh, I'd like to see the road cars also done, obviously the EBGT and the Sprint, but a stock EBXR8 would also be good given it was the V8 comback for the Falcon in Oz - even the first EBXR6 I reckon would be a seller.
Yes, I'm also biased - already collecting parts to turn 1 into a scale replica of my EB too.

Why bother releasing the Seton cars with the lack of PJ signage?

[XR6WGN]

The stupid thing about the lack of signage and the absurb ruling from the Government is that a few years ago (before all these Scale cars become so collectable) Tamiya made a 1:24 plastic model of the RS500 Sierra. All you had to do was walk into your local Hobby Shop and buy this kit, (and later on the Godzilla GTR) Buy the righthand drive dashboard and with some paint and the right decals you could build whatever version you wanted.

It was an Australian company who made the decals - yep you guessed it "Peter Jackson, Benson & Hedges, Winfield" were all available - I built them all and you know what I never had one cigarette whilst doing it.

There are a lot of people who have brought the Peter Brock cars and made up their own "Marlboro" Stickers - without then they just don't look the same.

The sticker kits will prob be available on eBay sooner or later

Thats where i have seen sticker kits for the Brock cars............
