Tangent has announced a second batch of GSC Flats for the end of this year. They are presently in stock at Tangent and, the way they operate, if you want some you need to order them immediately.
In stock means they are selling out as we speak.
What are we talking about? A picture is worth a thousand words so they say:
A model based on a real car, called the "BN Crooked Lettering".
