Modlbldr Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I just got this sealed inside kit in a trade. I have to say that this is the first kit I've ever had that I am a bit afraid of. It may be well beyond my capabilities. Later- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t sell yourself short. Besides, as long as you have fun and/or learn something, then it’s worth it regardless of how it turns out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 There's a step by step building guide on that McLaren in the latest Model Car magazine. Seems the model was fairly easy to paint and build the way Tamiya designed it. I've felt the same as you about certain kits figuring my building skills aren't worthy of the kit.

Khils Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 An opportunity presented itself last week...my good friend George Bojaciuk posted up some products available from "Canuck 3D model parts" ....being items of projects deep in my sub-conscience.... I pulled the trigger. I bought the 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo conversion (front header panel/grill, w/ headlamp lenses,front bumper,tail light panel, rear bumper & added the stock full front bench seat) also snagged the '98 - '02 s10 front grill with light lenses & valance, & added the bucket seats with console. Wow!! Wylde's products are absolutely stunning! THX George!! Wylde! ....I'll be hittin' up your site real short-like!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 It would be nice if someone would come up with 98-up S-10 interior parts and a rear bumper. Dash and door panels are different than what is in the AMT kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Last night I ordered 1 of those 1/16 AMT 1955 Chevy Nomad kits while there are still some left. The prices are already starting to climb and as with all these big scale kits will probably go into the stratosphere eventually. I already have just about every part waiting (dual quad chevy rat motor with headders, wheels, tire choices etc. in 1/18) to make it into a 60s-70s Saturday night cruiser with a slight gasser look to it. It should be a fun build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 A couple of separate eBay purchases which turned up on the same day: Including some interesting packing material with the Mazda. I'm not sure if that price sticker on the Camaro is correct, even in the late '90s kits were rather more than £1.50 here! Maybe it went through a charity shop at that price at some point? As ever with these 1990s kits for me, it's more likely that it will be an engine donor and the remnants will get built as a curbside someday. The Tamiya Mazda is unpainted and mercifully built reasonably cleanly without too much glue. I already have another bought in similar state,so hopefully there's enough to build one good road car from the two and then do something more extreme with the remainder. Also, I like these wheels and I can think of one or two other kits that they'd fit nicely. The poor old driver looks a little green around the gills.
