Can anyone help..?

I know Protar made a selection of 851/888 models both in kit and ready made form, and my missus wants to get one for my birthday ! (got the SP4..looking for racing versions, the strada, SP5 or SP0 versions). Like a muppet..I forgot to bid on one that came up on ebay recently, and the SP5 listed on ebay in the states cant be shipped to the UK.

Any help/advice appreciated..im cack at finding stuff on the net! (wheres Antonye when you need him..)

Cheers
Nat

I have a 748 one 1:9 scale still not made up yet, got it at the local model shop ages ago

Big size but not up to the likes of tamiya models

I bought the Tamiya 1:12 Doug Polen 888 kit in a model shop at the weekend for £16. It's been discontinued now, but you may find the odd one knocking about like I did. Might be worth a call to a few model shops?

I've got this one too, superb detail if you put the effort in. It came with the Polen or Falappa stickers - mines in Fallapa spec

[Twinfan]

Mine will be Fallapa too then - didn't realise there are two sets of decals! I haven't started it yet.

Did you use all the hundreds of paints they suggest, or just the core ones? I bought silver, bronze and 'carbon fibre'. I'm hoping that will be enough!
