Cool car, not something I expected to see as a kit. I find bleach strips the chrome in less than ten mins, and you can pour it down the sink after

So along with the 3 bugs I'm also building a couple of curbside t1s. The bus just needs the chrome added and a little more weathering on the soft top and its ready for final assembly. The wheels are brm from uscp and I'm using the ribbed bumpers from the recent revell camper as the smooth ones supplied in the hasegawa kit weren't to my taste and the ribbed ones give it an earlier look Next we have the hasegawa pick up. I was at a bit of a loss as to how to build it different until I remembered I had the turntable ladder from the heller delaheye kit sitting unused (the delaheye is being turned into a car hauler with matching delaheye custom). I am using porsche 968cs wheels and brakes from the hasegawa kit and have lowered it by raising the floor into the body. Since I dont have any older type blue lights I'm probably going to colour some orange ones in red. I got the ladders (over 4 feet of them) and turntable assemled and painted earlier but dont have any pics of that yet As you can see my bench is pretty packed with vws just now

I ordered a takeaway from one of the local chinese restarauns tonight. I said to make it up to 20 quid with sweets meaning bars of chocolate etc. Instead I got a carrier bag of penny sweets. I guess there was a miscommunication somewhere but I feel sorry for the person that had to count them out

That kid done well, and I'm sure opened a few eyesI'm looking forward to the americas list. It would be nice to see racers from the rest of the world take them on but I guess that wont be happening any time soon.. -

The only one we didn't know about was the big lotus, all the rest were announced within the last couple of years at shizuka. I know the audi has been on my radar for a while now

It might have put up a fight but you got a last round KO. The reflections in the paint really show how nice it is
