Humbrol Fiat 131 Abarth Rebuild
GeeBee replied to Spottedlaurel's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Yes, basically the same car made in Italy, but with different engines, and built with Spanish components, also the Estate version was only ever built in Spain -
Volkswagen Snowflake wheels & tyres
GeeBee replied to GeeBee's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I should have these 3D printed parts next week, as soon as time allows, I'll start to cast them up in resin. -
Humbrol Fiat 131 Abarth Rebuild
GeeBee replied to Spottedlaurel's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Looking forward to seeing this one progress, didn't even know Humbrol made this one, i was hoping Dad was going to trade in the Seat 124 to get the new 131, but then we had to move to England in 1976. -
Beautiful work, I'll be following this build.

Very nice build, superb paint work

KA Models Mazda K360
GeeBee replied to GeeBee's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
There next one will be the Mazda T600, it was also built in South Korea as a KIA, so I'm not really surprised about this one -
Beautiful build, brings back memories when I did the photographs of the 1:1 for Citroen UK.

Your order of finish paint work/bare metal/clear
GeeBee replied to dmthamade's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Here's my method, Primer, light sanding, paint, wet sand and polish, once I'm happy with the results, only then will I start the BMF, if I'm using basecoat paint, the BMF is applied over the clear lacquer, not before. -

After starting the KA Models Mazda K360, I fancied another weird one from ??, so I've just ordered this one.

A quick hour spent at the bench, time flies when you're having fun, as the saying goes, very small parts on this one, but they fit together like a jigsaw, the steering yoke needs to have the fork tops glued while leaving the steering part unglued so the steering will actually be functional, the interior is made up of 6 parts, not included the dashboard which will be fitted later, these are the parts that need to be painted in body colour. -
Received a few days ago from Ebbro in Japan, a few years ago when they released their Renault 4L, I bought the extra bodyshell without the sunroof and the GTL parts, one thing I hadn't got was the decal sheets, as they weren't available back then.

It's there first and only full model so far, I really like these strange little Japanese vehicles, I'm planning on getting back there in 2023 to celebrate my 60th birthday. -

The cab doesn't tilt, as it will joined with the pickup bed, as you can see from this image, the engine is mounted in the middle of the frame,there's no detail on top of the engine as it's moulded open. -
Superb build David, enjoyed your WIP, I'm glad you stuck with it.

Paint for this was supplied by Finishers paints in Japan, still haven't decided on the colour scheme yet -

Building starts with joining the two parts of the frame together, the back axle is made up of 4 parts, the axle itself, with the differential cover supplied separately, then the two leaf springs, I didn't glue the axle into the springs, I'll wait until I've lined it up once the springs are fitted onto the chassis, the engine has a small part to fit on the rear of it. -
I've had this sitting on the side for a while, the model was supplied by KA Models for me to build and review in Scale Modelling Now magazine, and also promote on my social media channels, obviously the retail version will come boxed and with instructions instead of the photocopy I received. These are the parts trees included in the kit

Another fine masterpiece, even after all the problems you've had, you've pulled through and produced a very fine model.
