SNAKEBITE

Lovely car Butler!

Thanks for the welcome! I hope they do rerelease the Falcon, I'd be so tempted to get one but coming so soon after this purchase I am not sure I could justify it........ I love the blue and white box colours, but because my son's Rising Fighter is blue I went for yellow. Not entirely convinced in retrospect, but I can always get another shell! Stickerwise I am going to go Neo Fighter. If I get a new shell I might do a Falcon tribute, especially if I can get the decals from somewhere.................

I have only built 3 cars so I cannot really comment, but if memory serves me correct the first one was built to the dulcet tones of "Huey Lewis and the News" back in the 80's! The second was done to the back drop of whatever my son was watching on telly and the latest one was done in silence, or rather silence except for the whatsapp pings where I'm having a conversation with my partner. I like to concentrate when I'm doing things like this and whilst music is great it is just nice to have silence occasionally.

I picked up one last night, I have completed the chassis build and sprayed the body at work today. All I have to do is assemble the shocks, put the tyres and wheels on and I'll be ready to run it at the weekend with my son! The build is amazingly smooth, no glitches or obstacles. Go for it.

Hi, this is my first post on the site so I thought I'd explain why I am here..... Back in the 80's I had a Falcon and loved it. Slowly it took a back seat as girls and beer became more interesting but it was something I always remembered fondly. It was a fantastic kit, and I spent hours racing it against my friends and their Tamiya buggies. I remember having to rebuild the front end every time it took a bit hit square on, and having to replace the diaphragm in the shocks when it landed too hard and sprayed oil out the top of the shock! Good times. Having bought a Rising Fighter for my son for Christmas I have now got a Neo Fighter for myself! It was his fault, he said I should have one so we could race! Anyway I was just wondering if anyone knows of any plans to reissue the Falcon? Nostalgia sells...................
