I'm drooling, Ryan. I got some 356 kits just for the wheels and engine to use on other builds. NOW I can build a whole 356 and not worry about using the wheels!!!!

[RyanSilva]

Thanks guys! Mike..you can build a 356 and not worry about the engine either

Ryan . is your ebay store still silvaresinspecialties? I'm getting nothing or do you just have nothing up at present? I'd sure like a link to click in your signature here . and I'm sure everyone else would too.

Not anymore, I'm back on "chichingot", however Im slowly moving away from ebay, Im building a website and a updating my Fotki to sell direct

I woulds like to see a Photo etched VW engine. I know the heads and block would have to be resin but some photo-etch cylinders would be cool. I also have some multi-pc Porsche wheels avalible http://www.earlyyearsresin.com/. Will be working on a set of duel webers and intakes soon.

[Michigan Madman]

Photoetched cylinder fins would be VERY cool... and oh-so-fiddly to put together!

[RyanSilva]

The photoetched cylinder heads are available actually but for porsche 356 if i recall, i forget who makes them but I seen them on automotive forums model section.

Got one of mine on the weekend and it's a red one I did open all 3 kits in my LHS to see if there was one & I found it woohooo..But sshhhhh don't tell them I did that

Those resin bits look great, Ryan! I'm really looking forward to having some deeper buggy wheels without hacking my only set of 356 or Kubel wheels apart.

Look up Gionc. He is from Italy and produces a great photoetch set for the Porsche 356, besides the cylinder head set. He also does resin (ScuderiaItalia.Lab @ Stradasports.com) Not sure if he's still producing anything, though..

Here's mine so far:

Looks Good Jared
I like the white walls. Classic look

Ryan - Great casting! Wow! I'd love to have a set of widened smoothy VW wheels...for an eventual Herbie build. Those could serve as a basis with filled in slots, I'd think. I'd be interested in a set of stock and a set of widened or two...

Oh, I picked up the Manx kit today. Mine's in white plastic. I did put together the display base. Kind of flimsy. May have to do a glue and tape rebuild on it.

Is this kit on hobbyshop shelves, or due this month? I'm a bit confused by conflicting reports I have read.

they are in the hobby stores. however the richfeild hub hobby is out of them so I would call ahead to whereever else you are planning on driving to.

I sent him smoothies from both the Hasegawa Kübelwagen and the Gunze/Mr. Hobby '56 Beetle, so I wouldn't worry about having to fill any wheel holes.

Sounds great!
