HobbyEasy has the Nunu BMW M8 GTE in stock. It cost me ~$48.00 US including shipping. They also have the detail set and a couple of decal options from SK. Racing Decals 43 also has several nice IMSA liveries available for the kit.
Still no word on when their 911 RSR and 911 GT3R will be available. Now they need to get to work on a Huracan GT3!

Eight days to get from Hong Kong to NC! I guess international shipping is recovering. Just glancing through the box, the kit looks every bit as good as the Audi R8 kit. I’m looking forward to starting it! I’ll post some photos at some point.

However, a friend of mine placed an order with Lucky Model 2 months ago and the shipment appears to still be stuck at the airport in Hong Kong. Mike

I ordered from HobbyEasy. I’ve never ordered from Lucky Model, but I’ve heard a lot of good comments about them.

Ben, You've given me the courage to once again order from the far east. Spot is out of stock or lists pre-order for every kit I'm looking for. Namely the BMW M6 GT3 and the M8.

Namely the BMW M6 GT3 and the M8. joel I've found that I can get newly-released kits from Asia and Australia a lot earlier and cheaper than from SpotModel or Hiroboy. I still try to order from them to support their businesses. I'm waiting for the Walkenhorst M6 with the PlayStation decals to hit the shelves. I hadn't planned to build multiples of the same car in different liveries like I did with airliners, but the PlayStation car looks too good not to build. Ismael, I'll try to post a few pics tomorrow. Not going to have time today. Ben

Ben, When I saw the PlayStation markings as a up coming release, I also added it to my just gotta build list. I'm waiting for both the M6 & M8 to be in stock, and then placing my 1st order with them. If I get the order within 2 weeks time, I'll be thrilled.
One major issue I have with Spot models is that everything seems to be Soon or pre-order. I'm still waiting for more a year for a few kits that have have the Soon tag attached to them.

Joel,
For the PlayStation car, no need to hassle with finding Zero Paint’s version of the blue in stock. I suggested to Gravity Spain that they make it, and they replied it’s just normal BMW Frozen Blue, which they already produce. You can probably have Scale Finishes whip up a batch for you, too.
From what I’ve read on another forum, the much delayed Nunu 911 RSR and 911 GT3 might not happen at all.

Ben, that figures. But I can't understand why for the life of me. They're Porsches, and Porsches always sell.

Ben, For paint, especially if it's a stock color, I'm going to check ScaleFinishes 1st, then Gravity of Spain. I'm hoping to get both kits by mid summer but no rush on either. As for decals, the Nunu ones are pretty good, so I'll go with those schemes, which is why I wait for a version I'm interested in. AM decals I usually checkout Studio 27 as they're pretty easy to find here.
I see that Paul has made great progress on his Monogram Ford Mustang GTP car. Looks great, and it's on my to build list for this year as well.

Still waiting... ya now? I'll post the photos as soon as I can get my %$&#*$ iPhone to talk to my @%$#&$# computer. Both are being contrary this week. Joel, it looks like Nunu has their own decals for the #34 Rundstrecken M6 and a second set from SK Decals for the original #101 car. I agree that Nunu's in-house decals are pretty good. I tracked down the SK decals sheet right before Nunu announced their own version, so I could theoretically go ahead and build the car using the Falken version. I'm holding out for the Nunu release so I'll have a second set of decals on hand for if/when I screw something up. The SK sheet must be really popular, because it's super hard to find. SK made the decals I used on my Mercedes AMG GT3 recently. Great decals! Ben

I got a replacement PIAA set for my JTCC Accord and a Jaccs JTCC civic set which also seemed to be really rare to find.

Ben & Sylphide, AM decals are pretty hard to find these days. Took me forever to track down the Studio 27 sheets for the Tamiya Merc C9 and their Mazda 787b. Of course now Tamiya's reissuing both kits, and their new decals are darn good. of course I also got with the kit transaction the detail up sets as well.
