Very cool! I have the Black Beauty from this series, and yeah - it'll need a ton of work to get right...much respect for what you did here! Glad I went with Planet X and Jimmy Flintstone for The Car and Batmobile.

whats the rarest model you own and did you build it?

Right On !!! -
Castings are a bit thick but they are good quality on the outside. If my memory is correct he offered a Formula 5000 air intake (may have been Andy Martin, but I am pretty sure it was Mill City). I sure wish he would remaster it (not straight as cast) because he was the only person I have seen that ever cast it. I really like it on one of my '69 Camaro projects. So if he reads this post maybe he will remaster it. I will take the first five if he does! Got a few low dollar dragsters that they would look great on.

Nice job on both of them! I always kind of liked the look of the AZ-1, it's like a miniaturized Ford RS200.

Thanks Chris! I would love to see you build one of those. I've read that the Tamiya Sauber is one of the most detailed kits out there. That would be perfect for someone with your great talent. Thanks Dann! I've been meaning to get some of that the next time I place an online order because they don't have it in any stores around here. I might get the Lacquer in the bottle too. Thanks Pat! I didn't get much done this weekend. I primed the body and found a couple of seams that I needed to fill and sand some more. I painted the wheels and realized the Duplicolor Acrylic Lacquer White paint I painted them with didn't work well for putting on the Molotow Chrome. I thought my pen was out of paint but it just didn't want to adhere to the paint. I used the same paint on another part and it pulled away with the masking tape after I applied another color so maybe it is the paint. I did get the instrument panel and steering wheel completed. It looks a lot better to the eye than with my old iPhone 5.

stunning build...! I wish they would backdate this one into the earlier 2wd long bed ones. -

SOME CURRENT ROUND 2 INFO TODAY...
Luc Janssens replied to AC Norton's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Maybe it's à licensing thingy.... -
Very nice.
-
Mockup looks great.
-
Tank is on needs some putty and repaint as does half the kit. I started the second one one of the things I didn't like making the first one was the engine is built on the frame so the first thing I did was cut the lower half of the engine block free now I can build and detail the engine separately. I can also build the frame, install the tank, smooth everything, and paint it before adding the engine

À couple of new players who (to my knowledge) did do it right: - Belkits - Beemax - Nunu again, it's all about geting the right people on board, als à newbie there's too much you don't know about that can and Will go wrong, Am I a "mister know it all", nope...not by far, but through the years I met people who do know. It's à real pitty their first release isn't à homerun, I for one sure hoped iT would have been... pick yourself up and try again.... -
Good work Janne.
- Today

Looks great!

Great cars, great pics, much enjoyed!

Very nice!

It is in fact used on real car parts.I use it all the time on carburetors and anything I need to clean that the regular sand or glass beads would plug up.
-
Well, that doesn't sound too "Enthusiastic" to me. LOL! Thanks for the info.
-
Interesting, I didn't know that.

Well I was thinking of the steering wheel set in the upcoming Moebius tractor set. Over here many trucks has 385/65 R22.5, they may be "high floatation" and many construction trucks use them, but they are also in use on highway trucks as they run cooler and lasts longer, these don't have aggressive tread patterns. The 385 steer tires also often have a ridge on the side near the thread surface to throw the water off and out and it will keep the side of the trucks cleaner.

I will be watching this one with great interest as I am building one as well............ can not wait to see progress.

Thank you William!
