Kevin, All I can say is wow!!
I've been thinking of upping my modeling to resin kits rather then constantly expanding my purchases bases on availability over interest. So I'll be visiting your site for my 1st kit or two sooner then later, especially since the prices are within my retired person's budget.

Joel Thanks Joel and AFX for you comments on the new Shadow kit. Its nice to get feedback. Joel, I know that you have been kicking around the idea of assembling a resin kit(I dont think you have done that yet). This new Shadow kit would be a perfect candidate for a first time resin builder. There is no engine simply because you would not see it because of style of the body. Its just a matter of gluing on the 4 tires/rims and adding the cockpit. I use slow setting ACC to assemble my kits. Personally I dont think that a resin kit is any harder to build than a plastic kit. I include a full color CD with every build step outlined and many photos from all angles of the completed build. If there is anyone on the board who may need information or may have any questions please contact me at silvercitymodels@comcast.net. Thanks Kevin.

Kevin, You've got a deal. I've been browsing your ebay pages and what I want to do is order one Indy car kit also without a full engine and the Shadow at the same time. Thinking right after the Holiday season is past so that the package doesn't get lost or damaged by the USPS.
I'm assuming that the kits come with Indy Cal decals. What slow setting ACC glue to you presently use? I've been thrilled with all the Loctite ACC glues which I find so much better then the Gorilla brand.

The photo of the 1:1 really puts the ride height in perspective - knee high!

I prefer the velocity stacks to the death ray gun intake.

I'm with JC on that. I had to do a double take when I first saw it and then you provided the reference shot. This is looking good so far Kevin.

Kevin, Like JC said, It's hard to get a handle on just how low the Shadow was to the ground. The picture with the guy really does put it in perspective. I also prefer the Orange version with intakes to what JC refers to as the death ray.
As for my 1st resin build, I've been carefully studying your ebay site, and I've got two Indy Cars picked out driven by past favorite drivers and no visible engine, just a turbo at best.
