  1. Have a look on some of the honda tuner sites, if its a common problem someone will have a cheaper fix for the compressor
  2. Scenes unlimited do the dually parts for this kit. They are very nicely cast
  3. Cool, one of the best cars to come out of boyds imo. I've got a magazine feature somewhere on the original version if the pics are any help?
  4. I'm purely guessing but maybe theres been some sort of deal between amt and italeri for distribution. The recent amt vw golf mk1 was the an esci/italeri tool which is my only reason for the guess
  5. They're comparable to older tool amt kits. The interiors are usually shallow but you cant really see that when they are built. They do kits nobody else does would seem to be their biggest appeal to me moreso than how they build. Dont expect tamiya and you'll be happy
  6. 1664bhp and it runs low 7s. theres a feature on it here
  7. First up we have Mike Burroughs from stanceworks bmw engined hotrod followed by some random pics
  8. You should be able to thin it with acrylic thinners as its just thick automotive acrylic usually which is why they use it on nails. I use duplicolour primers a or tamiya. I find tamiya thinners good most of the time but a couple have gone gummy
  9. I'm just excited to get one. These were the cars my age group aspired to in school and while its a race car i'm sure one of the european aftermarket will bring out a stock interior like has happened with the bmw rally car and the escort. The engine bay is already available from uscp in their cosworth engine set as the escort cosworth was more sierra than escort. From memory the only difference was the escort had a little shorter bay but otherwise nothing really changed. I think these will sell very well in the uk simply due to the fact ford is the largest part of the 1/1 aftermarket. If you look at the prices of the esci ford kits before italeri rereleased they regularly went for over a hundred pounds, and 75 to 80 for a built up. The monogram and amt capri kits are heading the same way now with prices creeping up to 60 or 70 usually and any tamiya sierra is north of 90. I'm taking that as a good omen for this kit and i look forward to seeing what they do next
  10. white pepper will stop the dogs doing their business mate, just scatter it over the yard and the dogs wont want to go
  11. could it have been blocked off for the promos?
  12. The tamiya rattle cans are pretty good. They flow nicely and are very forgiving in how they work. I like them and as long as your prep is good you shouldn't have any problems
  13. I've struggled to find a magnifier that works for me. I have tried the freestanding ones but after a few minutes my eyes hurt from the warped views they give. Do these magnify the entire area you are looking at or are they the same?
  14. Cool, I'll be doing an order from them next month anyway
  15. Nice work Tom, this kit builds up really well and I think its one of the best bug kits
  16. Turns out i bought the wrong kit, I was sure i ordered the k3 but after checking its the k2. Ah well, just an excuse to get the right one
  17. Nice work mate, I see your drivers door isn't warped like mine is on the rear corner
  18. Gonna have to add one of these to the stash,
  19. Very cool, I like the engine mods too, they're a nice way to update these cars and everyone wants a red top 16v
  20. and those three fit that description perfectly, last years branson begged for a bailout for his airline while pumping cash into his space program and actively lobbied the government to open up air travel to countries that were being innundated with the virus, bezos staff get no time for bathroom breaks and he actively avoids paying taxes, musk told his staff at tesla if they didn't come to work during a mandated lockdown they would be fired yet still people only see wealth as giving them the right to do this. We all pay our share of taxes, yet its us that have to bail out them when things are tight. Remember these are the same people that tell us we should save for a rainy day on minimum wages but always get to the top of the list for govenment handouts. But their billionaires so they get a pass for being terrible examples of humans
  21. I keep my opened ones in the fridge as heat affects them too, and once the molotowe has been opened, the air that gets in causes the reaction in the chrome. It can still be used in the revell acrylic paint though as a mixer to get metallic colours. For example those small pots of aluminium revell give you in the starter sets, when they get down to half full i top them up with old molotowe and I have polished aluminum colour, or can be used to give a dirty look to already cleared chrome. Sure its not chrome anymore but it can still be used for other stuff
  22. Does anyone know where I can find the above decals. I recently got the nunu kit and after watching the story about the car on autobiography I'd like to build it. The story about the car made it a lot more interesting than just a race car would be
  23. Do you know anyone you could borrow a goat from? they'll get rid of it in no time but any other plants will be eaten too
  24. Theres a rusty spot on my cooker top thats been annoying me, so this morning i bought a tin of white stove enamel. I got it all treated with some rust eater we use on the boat, and the paint said to use with out primer. It laid down nice and smooth but now 2 hours after painting it, its turning pink!! So now to fix it I'm going to have to get someone to remove the top for me so I can paint the whole top. Interetingly though, the paint on my hands has stayed white
