a bit more progress. for such a modern kit i'm surprised how much clean up is needed. i might have got a bad kit but every part has been slightly out of line and required a lot of scraping. I built the similar era opel blitz and i dont recall it needing much done. Still, it hasn't put me off emhar and i just got the towtruck version. apart from the extra clean up its going together well but i could do with three hands in places. I've also made a start on the tractor but i'm not far enough along with it to show much. Its been a lot of tiny parts, like the icm model a has but it seems a little less daunting than the miniart road tractor which i've put back in the box many times, lol.

an emhar bedford towtruck and a monogram 37 ford parts lot. all i wanted was the coupe body but they seem to be going up in price. this saved me a load of cash

we had to cut the edit window down. scammers were using it to edit in trash after moderation

automotive cutting compound

hold my beer can be translated as get the camera ready

How do you guys do it? I'd like to do a bleached paintjob but the only faded colours i can find are in the yellow thru red range. I'd like to do green. Is there a pale grey/white/dust transparent paint that can be used to age the paint?

yes but uscp do engines and bays for many of them

its more austin than bmw anyway

Nicely done my friend. I just found your files on cults and i will be purchasing them soon

if you do the same before removing parts from the supports, they come away much easier with less marking

you could model them some tiny wheelbarrows and shovels

I just tried to do a google image search for these engine and the first 6 lines of pics were this thread. one mcm thread is affecting the google algorythym

yes, the esort mk2s, the fiat/lada shape rally car and the last amt mk1 golf are esci kits originaly

theres a few 3d print options. maybe iceman collections, texas 3d customs or one of the other vendors will have them

Thats kinda cool, makes me think old cop chase videos would be far better to watch

if it is a scam you can report them to trading standards in the uk. Its a bit like your consumer protection bureaus, but they have the power to take them to court and shut them down while seixing the assets. They may also tell you if there have been other complaints about the company

would the blazer chassis suit the van with a little stretching?

that twin cam version is giving me strong jag 6 vibes. must be the valve covers

look among the rc parts on cults. there are loads of parts for these but they might need rescaled. or this guy makes grilles for them already so may be someone that would draw up some bash bars to go with them. https://cults3d.com/en/design-collections/MorriesKustoms/morries-kustoms-body-parts

the capri is an 80s version my friend. it will have different lights, grilles and bumpers than the monogram kit which are mk2. If you cant find a trade for it putting it on euro ebay could surprise you as these are massively popular cars in the uk and germany

kiformservices has a range of truck decals too but they are mostly the actual manufacturers rather than the user logos. Also, they can only be overcoated with enamel clear as acrylic will shrivel them up

Very nice work. How was it to do the building? did it need any tools we might not have in our model kits? the reason i ask is because i desperately want to build the viking ship for an up helly ya dio

Very cool, mad mike has had one of these built with a 5 rotor motor to enter formula drift. I guess his 4 rotor mclaren wasn't wild enough

I would look for another clear plastic. the bottles lose their clarity after a few months and look fogged up or scratched. if you've put effort into doing the work, it can be disheartening to see one of the first things you see look wrong.
