McFLY BOYBAND TAMIYA KIT - ROCK VIDEO POINTS WAY TO THE FUTURE?

SMN report:

Thanks to the SMN reader who pointed out this Tamiya-based video for the UK boyband McFly's 2006 song Room on the 3rd Floor. The band is named after Marty McFly, movie star of the 1985-90 Back to the Future sci-fi trilogy, and inspiration for all those kits and diecasts of the DeLorean flying car.

GREEN HORNET 'BLACK BEAUTY' - 1:43 DIECAST CAR FROM SUN STAR

SMN report:

China-based Sun Star is probably best known for its truly excellent range of 1:24 scale bus and coach diecast models, and the even larger 1:12 Volkswagens and Morris Minors. It’s not so notable in smaller scales perhaps, but this recent addition to the range shows that Sun Star retains its mojo, even when working in 1:43 scale.
