Thank you.
I buy only Tamyia kits (good quality, reasonable price), 1/48 scale and it costs me under 20GBP a piece.

The EMC, (Europan Motor Company) from Ostrakan "leaked" a photo of the new prototype of a sport hovercar they work on, the Ori Aquiletta 250 GT.

More info might come later at annual motor show.

Entry #27.1

So, the annual motor show just passed and so I'm happy to reveal the final design of the sports hovercar, Ori Aquiletta 250GT-H.

Type: Sports Coupé
Propulsion: Type-F repulsion plates, two Ori OH-1350 jet engines (1.35kN thrust)
Max. speed: 540km/h at 2000m
Max. altitude: 3500m
Capacity: Driver + 3 passengers
Weight: 1863kg (empty), Max take-off weight: 2550kg
Fuel capacity: 180 liters, enough for 2 hours of flight at full throttle, 8 hours of flight at cruising speed (approx. 310km/h)

One of the reviews says this. (shortened version)

Aquiletta is truly an interesting design, a combination of elegant, aerodynamic curves and a brute, raw power it hides "under the hood". This four-seat coupé is rather pricy, coming at 1,255,000 Eagles, but if you manage to find such sum laying around, buying this masterpiece won't make you look dumb, and your social status will skyrocket, just as you will, if you pull this little beauty nose-up on full throttle. Definitely a must-buy for any sports car enthusiast!

More coming up...

Jet Cars? Excellent, I approve.

Entry #27.2

Following the last entry, another interesting piece revealed on the annual motor show was the Bolt Crown Imperial

Type: Family Sedan, Limousine
Propulsion: Air-cooled Mk IV RFE (Radioisotope Fusion Engine)
Max. speed: 140km/h
Capacity: Driver + 7 passengers (Family Sedan), Driver + 4 passengers (limousine)
Weight: 2440kg (empty)
Fuel Capacity: 36 kg, enough to keep the car driving non-stop for a quarter of a year. Fuel cells require replacing every 6 years, even if they were not depleted.

One of the reviews says this. (shortened version)

Ah yes, the Crown Imperial, known for being big and heavy, and driving it feels like driving a starship. The RFE is still a rather controversial technology, as you drive around with radioactive material under the hood, but it is ideal for both long trips with your family or driving through the busy city streets. It's safe, reliable, and requires little maintenance apart from the periodical replacement of the fuel cells. The car is comfortable and spacious in the inside, able to carry your wife and the six children you have with her easily. It's not cheap though, so not everyone can afford such a vehicle, but if you make at least five digits a year, consider yourself able to purchase and maintain this vehicle.
