Just got one of these off the bay for a fair enough price... (Under $50 delivered!) Anyone own or built one? Sold under the "Acme Trading Company" banner, it's the same as some of the GMP Fiats availble. Looks cool as all heck with a couple different blown engines (Hemi and small block Chevy maybe?) and three different induction systems. Several different seats and a ton of small detail parts from fuel lines to seatbelts with hardware and more, lots more. The one thing it doesn't come with are instructions of any kind, says so right on the sheet of color photos that do come with it. Not much help there. I'll post more pictures when I get a chance to spread it all out somewhere.

It is the same as the old GMP...GMP went out of business and started up again under the Acme name.

I didn't know GMP had gone under... I've got an orbit Orange '70 Judge they made and it's sweet! Meanwhile... Here's what comes in the box... "Instructions" that aren't instructions at all, just a few pictures... Soft vinyl parts... Wheels and tires... Bright chrome... "Dark" chrome White plastic and a bag of details... Details include seatbelts and these nice photo etched bits of hardware... Metal parts, front end and multi-piece headers... Body and chassis... I don't even know where to start!

It does seem that GMP has started up again with a new name.....ACME Trading Company, and apparently they have purchased all the molds from another company that went out of business.....Precision Miniatures. They did some great stuff too, I own a few. www.acmediecast.comThat Fiat should look fantastic when you finish it Mike!!! Here's a few of the finished PM cars I have....Good luck on the build!!!

Looks like a great kit. I need one!
Hopefully the decal manufacturers will made some decals for this kit.

I also picked one up on EBay & it was a screaming deal!
What a great die cast kit. There are many options to choose from in the box. There are no decals available at this time. That's OK with me. That means We have a chance to come up with some cool paint jobs.
This should be a fun build. I have a few ideas running though my brain already!
