That is what i call mass production. I like the idea of the build them all in one hit, it would be hard to go back to the same thing each time. I wish you luck and will certainly be watching each post..

Hello Icon-Modeler,

that is a really impressive project you have started there. I am looking forward to see how it is going to develop.
When I saw the picture of all the unstarted kits one question came in my mind:
What's about the decals? At first there are no GY decals in the new released Japan GP P34 and additionaly I noticed on my two 1976 P34s that the decals of the earlier released kits are not as opaque then those from the later released decals.
How are you going to handle this? Are you going to use replacement decals for all the cars?

Good luck!

Hello, Alex and Icon Modeler,
The photo of the corrected airbox was unfavorably.

Your stash of P34s is almost as large as my entire stash of kits! I showed my wife that I'm not near the edge of sanity by the pic of your project and she hasn't said a word since!

This has to be the most ambitious project I have ever seen, anywhere. No superlative is in existence that can explain this build!

Thanks for saving my hobby and my marriage! (Ok, not really, but it sounded good...)

Great undertaking. Jaykay may be providing us with the ultimate build shown on this forum, but you sir have undertaken the ultimate "group" build. Love the photo of the 15 engine blocks.... 8)

Good luck with this ambitious project. Looking forward to the updates.
