  1. i think jimmy flintstone does one
  2. you can see it attack the hill in the goodwood coverage, it sounds evil
  3. got a couple tins of tamiya light green pearl. possibly the easiest colour choice ever as it was the only colour they had 2 off and 1 isn't enough for the golf. of course i got home to find i already had a full tin and a half tin, lol. Also got another tin of rubber black just to have extras
  4. i chucked the lot i got away. it did the same marking/damage on the paint as tamiya tape does
  5. I've added it to our list
  6. i think i used paypal
  7. would the scammer that offered to sell his mates parts to me on here count. messaging a mod to scam them shows the level of intelligence they have, though it did makes their removal a much simpler job
  8. its there because i subscribe. you need to use the international option
  9. Any flat clear will appear to lighten the colour but if you wet it it should look the same colour as before. its down to the light reflecting differently. in a similar way a satin clear will look to darken the colour slightly. you can see it best on darker colours
  10. you might be lucky enough if you used enamel primer. i dont get rustoleum where i live so dont know what type of paint is but i've had the same happen with plastikote primer and duplicolour. i was lucky enough it was just the paint that crazed, but even if the plastic has crazed you can probably save it using filler primer and repeated sanding like printed bodies
  11. i want to see a radial engine with a multi turbo set up. even if its only for show and never runs. it would be like those rolling bombs us british tried in ww2 wrapped in tube
  12. if the primed surface is good you can give it a coat of silver or gold to stop the bleed through. then just carry on painting as normal
  13. my favourite was the "your herbert fright order is ready for delivery"
  14. Aye right, you almost got me, lol
  15. The ads are nothing to do with the forum or magazine. For that you need to talk to google (if you can get past the ai chatbot)
  16. got the rear halfs of the inner door shuts fitted, Next is redesigning the front half as it currently wont fit a dash and thats no use. i only need a couple mm extra space but that would throw everything else off. I might make up a false firewall under the dash so i can hide some reinforcing
  17. theres a book possibly called the burial brothers (thats what google says it is but the name doesn't ring a bell) that is a couple of guys driving an old hearse down through south america. i read it a lot of years ago and it was pretty good.
  18. aston martin were involved with putting turbos on mk3 capris through their tickford brand. they bring good money now.
  19. yes, it prints nice
  20. theres a 3d front suspesion that should fit these. the designer is goldenbed i think. its a mustang ii type
  21. it did but it was with duplicolour primer too and sat a couple days between paint types. i suspect it wouldn't work with hobby primers
  22. I've used duplicolour over tamiya but that was with duplicolour primer too and i gave it a day or two between coats. i havent chanced it with tamiya primer too
  23. i wonder if it would fit a vr? lol
  24. i've had my head inside the inlet for the turbos on the boat. it had 8 of them (4 massive volvo engines)
