My Car Crazy Hobby, collecting scale models of the Dodge Viper.

A little update.

A couple of weeks ago I wondered if the new Competition Coupe was allready made as a scale model.

And, it was... AutoArt started producing this car recently.
Here it is...


Then I thougt..... I saw this car before when I visited a race in the Dutch Supercar Challenge last year.

Then the wheels in my head started grinding...... would it be possible to get AutoArt to produce the race car I saw into a scale model.
So it got into my CarCrazy head and couldn't get it out of it anymore. I had to make 1+1 together to realise my idea.

After a series of phonecalls with the Racing team and emails to AutoArt the wheels started turning.
It worked! Both the team and AutoArt shared my enthusiasm and were willing to make an agreement to produce a small series of this livery.
So, in a week or 6, the pre-production model will be ready.

I thought, lets post this story here to see wheter you Car Crazy guys in the USA are thinking about this model.

@benhui86,

I have to make an estimated value for my insurance soon.....
But, one thing is sure, the price I paid was always lower then the price the shops ask.... or is paid in many auctions. (That is the sport of it.... getting models for prices wich are not to high)

The photo of the Competition Coupe is as you saw a real photo.... But the model should look the same way in a couple of weeks.
