timmer Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Tim here. I’m a fairly recent convert to scale car modelling. I’ve mainly built armour and aircraft kits and a few ships. That changed about two months ago when I saw Tamiya’s 1/20 Honda RA 272 kit. Cars of that era are the dream cars of my youth, when F1 got lots of tv coverage in the 12 channel universe. I built the Honda kit and I was hooked. Currently, I’m waiting for the USPS to arrive with an Olsonite Eagle kit from Texas via eBay. I came to this forum because of a stunning build by “ismaelg” that turned up on Google. The man clearly has talent! I’ve read that this kit is a little tricky and fragile so any and all references will be invaluable. Except for adding some wiring and plumbing, it’ll be out of the box. While I won’t even attempt ismael’s ideas, I will be inspired by his patient craftsmanship. Glad to be here. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Welcome Tim, and I think you'll find building scale model motor cars more interesting than building aircraft, ships or military stuff, although to be fair ... each to their own in this free world.
