the blah blah blah happens when you use a curse word or banned word, its a word you used in your post/pm that the forum doesn't allow that gets changed automaticaly. I very much doubt the mods have time to check everybodies pm's given how many are sent on here each day

Any sources for 1/32 scale whitewall tires?
stitchdup replied to bh1701's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
i wouldn't use the circle templates or gelly roll pens as the gelly pens can leave ugly ridges in the whitewall if you have to overlap. Theres a much easier way that gives a nice finish. All you need is a large washer with a hole the size you need for the whitewalls. Just place the washer over the tyre, taking care to centre it, then build up the colour using white acrylic primer. if you use a reasonably heavy washer it will stay in place for painting. I find heavy truck washers to be the best as the holes are about the right size and they have the weight to not blow away and since its being sprayed the finish will be smoother -
your best bet is to look at the kit on https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/ and have a look through the pics. They usually have pics of the contents of each kit

except it wasn't done naturally. the oil industry pushed for internal combustion over ev. in the earliest days electric cars were just as popular as ic. and most power stations then were coal, and close to population centres so there was a lot of illness produced by the smog. internal combustion was sold as the cleaner power for cars because there was less visable smog initially, and by the time we realised there was jst as much smog the choice was made and it was too late. If you look back at early photos of cities with cars, more than half are electric -

The cops aren't going to stick with lumbering suvs when everyone else is in fast evs. They are going to use whatever can catch other vehicles and right now to catch an ev, you need an ev. an internal combustion engine to keep pace with an ev would not make sense to buy or run simply due to mpg, we've seen teslas keeping up with some street outlaws cars and look at the engines they have, fine if you plan to catch them in 500 yards but after that the teslas gone when the engine in the other car pops. the same thing happened when the car became common, cops transitioned from horse to car cos the horse couldn't keep up. Dont worry about what the cops will be driving, they will keep up with the technology because otherwise they just cant do their jobs. I would expect the cop evs to have bigger batteries though or some form of fast battery swap between vehicles. And how will taxis manage? taxis make money by being on the road 24hrs a day, and 350 miles range just doesn't happen in a city with all the stop start traffic. A taxi will be lucky to get 4 hrs before it needs charged. has anyone developed a recovery plan for evs? some of them cannot be towed and have to be lifted or the motors get destroyed. will taxi companies be doubling the number of cars they own? or will they just close down cos they cant afford it? -
