I will confirm that Autoart are making it.................seems someone cannot wait for the embargo to be lifted.
Anyway, its good news even though it is just the one car at the moment.

That thread points to a bulletin board with the above picture (and some cardboard pictures of the interceptor)...

I was fishing Trev...and he's come to the party;) Thanks for the confirmation Trevor! Much appreciated.

personally i would rather have seen the first mad max version in 1/18 first. from the pics there are a couple of issues with the road warrior version, it did not have a license plate on the front end
& the rear plate read MFP not last-v8! hopefully this isn't due to license restraints like the DDA 1/24 version. still a must have car
& i hope theres more mad max versions to follow.:D

Judging but the fact this model is being promoted in Japan I'm guessing its a worldwide Autoart release rather than a specific Biante release ?

I always thought, with the global appeal of the movie(s), that it would come out everywhere and not just be an Aussie model. It was just who got the rights.....So will it be an unlimited issue?

I thought these pictures were an indication of the model only, i.e. film stills AND a picture of a replica...here's a link (http://www.madmaxmovies.com/fanstuff/cars/LastV8/ ) to the replica in the pictures at the Japan Model Show...

Bring it on! I hope that the bar is raised on this release :-)
