The Narton Manta Kit came today and frankly what an awful kit it is. There are about 20 parts, the body is a single moulding with no vents and there is no slots for tail lights. I had planned to make a Fisher version of the car but it will look so bad that it would be an insult to Bertie to make it. I will post a picture of the kit later today.

Diecast. Two versions at first. Not been advised if these are road cars or competition versions yet but it's London Toy Fair next week so the new releases should be on display there.
Would be nice if the do a Rothmans version, although I guess decals will come for it regardless of what others they do
