Revell: Stranger Things; Billy´s Chevy Camaro
stitchdup replied to Luc Janssens's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
tractors would be difficult to run multiples from one tool. they tend to have much more changes from model to model so all that might swap is the rear ends. you can always paint them as airfield tractors though. heller only got 2 versions out of the grey fergie and 2635 because they were only smaller parts on the fergie and a colour change on the 2635. if you look at the miniart tractors you can see what i mean easier. they follow succesive versions and none of the parts carry over between them. i think there is only 4 years between those kits -
my experience tells me gsw has a mildly better shine but it goes off much too fast in the bottle. i opened my bottle to do a test and when i went to use it 3 months later it was just shiny grey mettallic. at least molotowe lasts a decent time when not being used, i have 2 og pens that are still chrome

2025 Cannonball Run - 50 years since the 1975 run.
stitchdup replied to Mattilacken's topic in Community Builds
you can get lenses from googly eyes and if you cut them close to the base they leave a small lip that could be used to clip them onto yo body. theres also half rhine stones that look close to modern crystal style led lights in the jewellery section that if you cut them into squares and place in a line look like those off road light bars -

the GTi had black trim in the arches so you could maybe fix the arches that way. the lower trim levels had larger arch covers for some versions that cover the entire arch -

stitchdup replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
just yse normal body polish. the chrome polish will take off more of the shine as its usually a mild abrasive polish -

1/16 Volkswagen Transporter Samba Bus
stitchdup replied to The Creative Explorer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
revell mk1 golf is one of the best detailed kits out there. revell mk2 feels off somewhere in the body but mechanicals are decent for the time. revell corrados the golf mk2 mechanics but it looks more right in the body. fujimi, tamiya fwd vw kits are all curbside but there are parts available to fix that. amt have their own old 1/25 mk1 golf version but are currently selling the equally old esci 1/24 kit instead. amt do a 1/25 scirocco too and there a 1/24 motorised kit too. the jettas are available as trans kits or 3d prints and almost all of them are in 3d now -

2025 Cannonball Run - 50 years since the 1975 run.
stitchdup replied to Mattilacken's topic in Community Builds
I've swapped to one of the rally car bodies as c1 have released an rs2000 and parts to convert the italeri kits. Since i want to use an rs front on the zackspeed body i swapped to this one. I've opened the boot and removed the cowl area but i still need to open the grille area up. theres another mod but i'll show it later as only one side is done (its not the wide arches). I've also swapped the carbs for the stock zakspeed engine part but have removed the joke of an airbox in place of a scratch built one. this will connect to the box under the radiator. I added some fittings to connect to the fuel block on top of the engine as well. it looks very simple but thats what zakspeed did. since i modified the front belts to add an alternator, the exhaust no longer fitted and wasn't going to work with the engine set back anyway so i scratched up a new one with the missing water intake also added. next since i opened the boot, i had to build up the inside as it was just a wall of plastic originaly. I cut most of this away, at times using a hole in the wheelarch, and then built up a floor and arches. its not even close to stock but its better than what was there, and once i add the rest of the fuel system most will be hidden anyway. speaking off, i also made a fuel tank. which will mean cutting out most of the remaining boot floor so it can be sunk in. this will hopefully leave space for some spare parts -

How to Simulate tonneau snaps?
stitchdup replied to Vince311's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
i'd chop up some small evergreen rod and drill holes to stick them in. if your fussy you can always drill the centres when they are glued to the body -
