Re: Why is the Scirocco ignored so much?

Hi all,
I picked up a mk 1 model last week at a swap meet.  it's the only one 
i've ever seen, but I think I'll build it anyways. If anybody knows of 
any others please write. This one is quite old an AMT #2002.  I'd love an 
RC scirocco to go on my RC10DS though.  I tried it once in Balsa.  Very 
realistic, very fragile.  I've still got the grill I made somewhere.  I 
liked the idea of casting one in lexan.  But does anyone have a 
Vacuforming machine?
