It was supposed to be out in March but I haven't heard yet. Since the store is closed until at least April 26, I won't know but I'll try to call Hornby ( our distributor) to see if they have it in yet. Tom

they have been sold in Europe for a number of weeks now, so they are "out". Reports from users are very positive! Hold one for me; these may be the last contemporary company releases from anyone for a long time!

I think they may have arrived at Hornby, but like a lot of things, they can't ship because of the current situation. Will have to wait a couple more weeks, at least, to see them here.

They will be at Hornby this Wednesday, and they will ship when the store re-opens--hopefully by the 27th. Tom

It looks like this will be a twin-pack featuring Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler driving. (I remember seeing both those guys race at the 1980 Long Beach Grand Prix. By that time Scheckter was world champion and driving a Ferrari 312-T5. Depailler was driving an Alfa Romeo T179 at Long Beach.) I hope the scale of the Tyrrell P34 cars is close to 1:32. And not too big or too small. Doug L. Attachments:

If all goes according to plan, I'll be there on the 30th but I'm not sure how they will work things at the store. They are supposed to be open on the 27th but just for curbside pickup--then by May 1, only half of the crew is supposed to be there. I'll let you know when I hear from the owner. Tom
