All threads wander and now that KR have finally found container space to bring the GT3 to the UK there won't be anything to report for a month, possibly 6 weeks. Mike likes doing a bit of Ship spotting hence his request for the ship name, but by week 3 of the voyage the thread will be on signs of the Zodiac as posters twiddle their thumbs in anticipation.

The only thing is what do we have to look forwards to... I’m expecting a well detailed, painted and running model. if only everyone else here was expecting the same thing. if the baying mob goes silent until March, its only because they are plotting something. Its sad that no matter how good the model is, its not going to win, and probably down to many who haven't bought one anyway.

Its sad that no matter how good the model is, its not going to win, and probably down to many who haven't bought one anyway. Baying mob....That's a bit overly dramatic I've said right from the start of this that I was interested in picking one up as I like the odd and unusual, I lost some confidence when simple questions couldn't be answered, and when the EP was released I did not think the model presented offered value for money, so I chose not to order one then although I could sign up for the EOI in the future. KR have asked top money for the GT3 but the EP didn't bear that out so I want to see what the actual production models look like. I am interested in what the production models look like as my main interest is pre-grouping and a recent announcement is very interesting to me, So being able to see whether KR can actually work with a Chinese factory remotely and bring a detailed accurate model to market might give me a bit of confidence to order one. I'm sure the majority will be happy with their purchase and will enjoy running it, but I find it odd that a first time commissioner has chosen not to share any pictures of the production models and sent an EP/sample for review. Having been capital for several projects (Some of which did not proceed due to production difficulties) I know what it's like to work remotely and to keep the factory on spec and budget hence why I have asked some questions. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Being paranoid does not necessarily mean that they are not out to get you. What fascinates me is that GT3 had direct mechanical drive, unlike 18000 & 18100, which were gas-turbine electrics. Consequently, I would expect the turbine whine to have risen and fallen in direct relation to speed rising and falling. I am interested to hear how the model reflects this. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it on... Does that make me extro-paranoid, intro-paranoid, overt-paranoid, paracynical ? or perhaps .. just judging this para-ble thread by its prior content ?
