  1. I would look here for that information. http://www.randyayersmodeling.com/modelingforum/
  2. Nice work.
  3. I'll have to add some of that to my tool box!
  4. Can you take a little off the top edge of the interior, or maybe file it on a slight bevel to fit more inside the glass?
  5. Great start on the flares, what putty are you using?
  6. Awesome!!
  7. Is it possible to trim the bottom edge of the glass? I suspect it is bumping against the interior. Very sorry about the wheel - ouch!
  8. Thanks Trevor. My pet python thought it was a real yellowbird.
  9. At the launch of it's new SF90 at Maranello on Friday, the Italian outfit revealed a new darker matte colour, having moved away from its traditional gloss finish. But rather than this having been done to simply make the car look better, team principal Mattia Binotto says that the inspiration for the move was to help reduce the car weight – as the matte finish weighs less. "The reason is not aesthetic, but exclusively technical," explained Binotto. "Eliminating the shiny element gives us a few hundred grammes, which may not sound like much, but when you push everything to the limit even this has an effect." https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/ferrari-matte-paint-performance-benefit/4338383/ If you watched the Rolex 24 you saw that the Porsche GTLM cars were wrapped, not painted. The vinyl wrap was damaged on the nose of the car #911. Again this was said to be done as a weight savings over painting the cars.
  10. Patience is virtue - right? Nice trading with you too Bruce.(Belugawrx)
  11. Here is the axle in the Moebius 427 Mercury Comet - is this not a Ford 9"?
  12. Very nice. The C1 kit is close to the 996 GT3R. Wish we could get a trans-kit for this.
  13. I assume the Porsche 935 is the a re-box of the Entex/Nitto/AMT kit.
  14. Found some nice calipers and large diameter brakes. Looks good without the wing as well.
  15. From the Tamiya kit thought I would take a shot at converting it to a "Cup" car. Fabricated the front spliter Fabricated the side skirts Reshaped the nose slightly Added the (3) relief air slots between the head lights Rear wing yet to come
  16. Nice work on the roll cage, hugs the roof and the A pillars just as it should.
  17. The weathering is excellent.
  18. I bought this built-up of the MB 450 SLC rally. It will be nice to be able to purchase a new kit, rather than re-build this one.
  19. Lots of parts sellers including full engines on eBay but, (gulp) you will have to search for them.
  20. I used that rubber O-ring/PE set on this build. Fiddly but it does work.
  21. Yep, Lotus used these wheels as well.
