So many people have asked us to make this legendary "pinstriped wonder" that we have finally acceded to public demand. Yes, we are very much customer driven, believe it or not. It's all here - tall tail, flattened fenders at the front, flared out arches at the rear, flat rear deck and that distinctive ram scoop atop the injectors. Not to mention that stunningly detailed livery. Poetry in rapid motion. But that's not all. We have taken this opportunity to upgrade the rear end detailing of this M6B to the levels we have introduced on our J Car - MX 019 - and upcoming series of 612P's - MX 008, 015, 016, 018 & 022. You will really think you are looking right into the engine bay, even tough it is a "sidewinder" chassis layout slot car. So just zoom into our shop to book your order now, there is already a rapidly growing list of buyers.

The basic body master for our Sunoco M6B is already done, as well as some of the ancillary parts.

There will be a lot of detail filling the openings you are looking at here, just like our J Car and 612P.

 

We try our best to ensure that models are released as near to the projected dates shown, on this page and in the SHOP section, as possible. However there are a lot of factors that can upset that aim. Please try to bare with us if you see us alter projected availability dates, it is always for a good reason.
 
Remember we principally produce products against actual demand from you the customer. Think of us as one of the few bespoke makers actually out there. Let's face it, when did you last pick up a brand new Aston Martin off a dealer forecourt ? The good things in life are worth waiting for, as they say. So get your orders in early with us or one of our authorised dealers.
 
Advance indications of interest from prospective buyers is very important and tends to focus us on one subject or the other. Then again we sometimes can't resist indulging ourselves with a particular subject or group of racers. Funny thing is, you our customers, seem to share our enthusiasms for some of those little obscurities.
