    This is the Tamiya kit and as usual, all the parts fit together really well. I decided to try a two tone paint job, took a lot of time to mask, but came out pretty well.

    Hey Lee. Yes...but its hidden unfortunately. I added another photo of the chassis. Too bad, the engine bay is pretty detailed but you can't see it.

    Hey Mario. Yeah, I looked at your version of the van and it looked great. It's interesting to see how other manufacturers in other countries (France, Italy, Japan) approach their kits. I will say that the Heller kit has a lot of hidden detail you can't see, like the engine, which is pretty good for a kit like that.

    Hi. Heller's Estafette van. I found it difficult because the body was molded in clear, with the windows molded into the body. So I used some after market masks for the windows. The decals are from MotoBitz. Over all, a challenge mainly in painting.

    Hi PatW. I believe the NuNu and the Beemax kits are the same. Not sure about the history of the two companies. But I've bought both and I think they are the same.

    Hi PatW. This was from Beemax. The kit is the "Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 Group B Audi Team Team sponsored by HB International - Monte Carlo Rally - Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo, Sanremo Rally 1985 and 1986" They are hard to find now...Spotmodel.com used to carry it at https://www.spotmodel.com/product_info.php?products_id=55980 Now, I think the only place to get it is on Ebay. Hope that helps.

    Yeah. Add some wide, square fenders to a box. Anti aerodynamic.

    Great job Rich. I like the pictures "in the wild".

    Finally got this one done. Took a long time in whatever spare hours I could work on it. The engine was from USCP (Ukrainian Scale Cars Production) and came with an engine bay. Took a lot of fiddling to get them in and fitting properly but it ended up looking pretty good.

    Thanks. The wheels and tires are from Pegasus. They look more to scale than the tires in the kits, and I wanted to go for an East Los Angeles vibe. If I could make the car hop, I would!

    Thanks. The paint is Tamiya "Pure Orange" with a couple of coats of Clear Orange from Tamiya.

    Will, this MPC model reminds me of how hard it is to build an older kit. Needed a lot of work in terms of fit. And because there are no decals, there also no place to hide in terms of paint. Glad to have this one done, and on to the next!

    Yes, Jim. WRC (World Rally Cup) from the late 1990's

    Hi all. Just finished the Tamiya Evo V and pairing it with the VII. The engine is from Hobby Design. I ended up getting too far into the build for the car, so the engine will wait for the next Evo kit and then I'll manage the order for the build so I can modify the car chassis and drop the engine in it. I've been looking around for a 3D engine bay for these cars, but can't find it. So I'll have to improvise later.

    Thanks!

    Fast forward, finished. With the exception of some plumbing to be added later.
  17. dougwintz
    I worked on the body sections, adding a lot of mesh. For the front nose, I opened up the access panel that will lead to a spare tire. After finishing some additional detailing, I'll add the decals.
  18. dougwintz
    Added the dash, and got one of the seats finished. Did I say making seatbelts is my least favorite activity!
  19. dougwintz
    Thanks for the comments. I'll keep you posted.

    Hi. This is the beginning of the build of Lancia Delta S4, by NuNu. With detail parts by the same manufacturer. I'm substituting their decals for carbon fibre/fiberglass surfaces with Scale Motorsports. I'm using some leftover Testor's metalizer paints. Sorry they are being discontinued!. Anyway, start of a journey here.

    Thanks for the comments everyone. Have a great New Year.

    Thanks for the comments everybody. Appreciate it. Reply to "ESPO" - the color is Testor's One Coat, Fiery Orange. It is a pretty good match for factory.

    Slipping between 2 planes of existence sounds like a good idea. For anything!
