So how does that work you may ask, even a child can tell you thats wrong, you scream at your monitors. Well I recently got the revell street rod set with the t sedan, a delivery and 34 roadster. I'm assuming the t is the right size as the same frame is used under all of them and it was the first kit released. Since they all have the same frame it means to me the other 2 must be both undersized and having seen an a sedan next a t touring at a local show would appear to confirm it. So how in the world does 31+34=32? Well the 33 ford sedan styling wasn't new in 33, we had a ford model y released in 32 in the uk which is a shrunk down 33 sedan being a little smaller than a ford pop (anglia to you guys) and since there was a uk rodder building some pretty high tech rods on par with lil john buttera in the 70s called ray christopher I'm going to use the roadster and delivery to build a 70s style 32 y sedan. Everything will come from the 2 kits and the chassis and running gear will be box stock as it has the right stance and parts (well it should be jag irs but the vette one is already chromed and fits so its staying) Incidently, ray christopher built a gt40 replica for a guy called lee iacosomethig that you might have heard off, apparently he was big wig at ford, lol. If you get the uk magazine custom car, he has a recently featured model a pick up on the cover in yellow and brown. Heres the kits I'll be using and a pic of the 1982 riddler winner model Y The ides was put into my head after Bill posted a pic suggesting a possible transformation but also reminded me of the model Y. I'm at work now but its coming to work with me tommorow night.

Inexpensive paint booth recommendations
stitchdup replied to WizPorsche944's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I've got one very similar to this except mine has built in led lights. Mine was about £40 quid cheaper than this one is and it works well enough. I have emphysema and i can spray at it with out a mask but i have loads so I'm gonna use them, lol. My only regret with it is I should have bought the next size up as its a little small for my way of painting (i like to get as much done at one time rather than individually) https://www.amazon.co.uk/HaoSheng-NEW-Black-Model-Extraction/dp/B01E2OYRYO/ref=sr_1_22?keywords=paint+booth&qid=1661573309&sr=8-22 -
Toyota 4Runner Question
stitchdup replied to oldcarfan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
there are 3d prints available. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/toyota-4runner-5-gen -
the box side for that set was in the box too. I'm glad they are complete as it was them i was most interested in. I didn't realise how much smaller the a is in 1/25 compared to the monogram kits. there didn't seem to be so much difference between the scales with the model t kits. is this model a maybe a touch undersized? it seems like the engines out of my other 1/25 kits would be a struggle to get under the hood even if i move the firewall back

Do they accept donations? I can think of a few people that could keep up with a cow figuratively -

Got a joblot of kits today and some of them were in a nike air jordans box. One of my friends saw my post on facebook and has offered me £75 quid for the empty shoebox. He's an avid nike jordans collector and already has the shoes, but this is a nicer box. The best bit is its paid more than half the cost of the kits. Never thought I'd sell an empty shoebox

Germany now has a trainline running purely on hydrogen. It has no back up diesel engine. -
Took a chance on a job lot listed as incomplete on ebay and got it for a very good price including delivery across the pond. There were loads of pics and if other people had paid close attention I probably wouldn't have got it. It helped that many of the kits are molded in colour as i could see the boxes were just jumbled up and not sorted out. I think i came out pretty well with how many are just missing wheels and minor parts as i tend to customise everything. Theres a lot to see and some might end up for trade First up, peterbuilt truck, missing glass only so not a problem. strangely it appears someone shaved their beard into the box as it wasn't animal fur. they were grey haired with what we call the salt n pepper colour on this side of the pond. 34 ford convertible. appears complete model a delivery, appears complete but the front of the roof has been cut off. the part is there so an easy repair model t sedan, appears complete but i dont really need 2 squarebody stepside appears complete and there are some extra chassis which are always useful honda integra missing glass and chassis parts but good wheels and engine for something else, maybe the model a 1/16 lambo no interest to me and missing many parts tamiya jag, missing parts but i have a spares kit with the missing parts already dodge pick up appears complete. I'm sure I've seen a build thread for this one so have included an interior pic. anybody recognise it? trans am snapper appears complete, and corvette also appears complete. I've got an idea for a custom one so this was handy as i didn't have one jeep, appears complete and i like the original builder plan so will keep to that plan dodge charger missing glass dodge and plymouths, appear complete ramcharger, possibly missing hood but theres still a couple of boxes of loose parts to look through so fingers crossed chevy vans, should have enough part for 2 out of the 3 couple boxes to still sort, near complete tank no clue what this sprue is from, doesn't appear to fit anything i have
