Ollies is stocking some great base kits. Must be my age can’t go wrong with George Barris.
I'm semi obsessed with all things Tour de France. I've been wanting a Skoda Octavia Kombo in Shimano Neutral Support livery. I found a 1:87 scale diecast in blue, and HO scale train diorama bicycles on eBay. I got a decal maker on eBay to make me small decals and here it is:

Is the Octavia 8 cylinders?
(I had an aunt named Octavia.)
Little is known about the modern Skodas here. Skoda isn’t in the iPhone proper spelling list.

I have no idea what the drivetrain of the Octavia is. I'd have to research it. And ya, a lot of the vehicles in the Tour are not available here. Like these for instance:
Oooff! $900 for tires and a fortune just on fork oil! Too complex. Even my bike is too complex. I’m going for something less complex.
Just out of curiosity, I'd like to ride one.
Found a model kit for the next build off.
Today @cjperry81 came to help me with some yardwork ;

I'm putting this one out there to you guys. Looking for the first issue Aurora model kit or a completed model of the "Voodoo Vega" funny car. The original funny car was designed, built and driven by Richie Sullivan back in the early '70s, here on the East Coast. Richie is my brother-in-law and I used to work in
a few of his fabrication shops. Over time I learned a lot from the man.

I built the Revell Visible V8 when I was a kid. Always wished I could have a do-over. Found this inline 4 cylinder at a Kiwanis thrift store for $3.99. Still has the $39.99 Walmart price on it. I hope it is all there. The parts are sealed in individual poly bags by color.

Rattus All Terrainus
ThundrrrJr built one of those, it's a cool kit. He really learned about internal combustion from it. The belts were a bit weak though, didn't really have what it takes to turn the reciprocating mass smoothly for any period of time. I always thought it would look fun wedged in a muscle bike
