Last Friday I went to The Hobby Depot and picked up two kits. And when I opened the Meyers Manx this is what I found!!! Looks pretty cool in that color!!!

Dan was talking about them at the meeting. He said something about one in every case is molded in metaflake red. He also said that they are not marked.

Yeah there was nothing marked on the box about it, if fact I didn't know anything about them being molded in any other colors until I was talking to Dan Doane and he told me about them coming in other colors. So I opened it up and found it to be a red one!!! Hobby Depot only had 3 of them and Dick hadn't even put them out yet and just handed me one..

Some people are just plain lucky. Think of all the modelers who are going to all kinds of tricky efforts to snag one of those red ones! Or all the people who are buying a case to just get the one red kit!
And then there's Lucky Marty!

Of course, now you CAN'T paint it. Best bet is to just put it away and go buy another to build.

I 'll take that for making those ambulance lights they are red too. LOL I bet I could make parts like that. Some transparent paint and some gold flakes in the clear resin.

I'm taping it up right now and well see what happens when I put a base coat of silver down on the underside and if that looks good then I'll paint the under black. Now wish me some luck and lets see what happens!!! LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D Greg, yeah I don't think so........................... ;D ;D ;D

Hey, Marty. Where're the pix of your Manx build?
We're seeing Louie's. Anybody else got one in progress?

"AutoWorld" sells an exclusive purple version of it too. There was less than 600 of them made. They sell them on their site for about $25.00, and they are very nice !!!
