I hope your corrado is in better shape than mine, the roof and hood on mine look like the mold wasn't put together right. The hood is a couple mm lower than the fenders and the roof is a couple mm too high between the rails

hiroboy have wire mate, sometimes they have distributors too but i tend to get mine from australia (bnl modelworld) or brasil (mr model) as the exchange rates half the cost even with shipping.

Nice looking t-bird mate. If you can spring for it the cheap booths on amazon work well at getting the fumes out for spraying indoors. I use mine in my front room and theres no fumes to bother anyone

MCM Relaunch Update 10/2020
stitchdup replied to larrygre's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Isn't it better to wait and get something you want to actually read, than something rushed and hashed together like a school kids homework? I know which I would prefer -
I saw a conspiracy theory to describe 2020. It said that someone in the future has made time travel possible and they keep going back to try and fix 2020 but inadvertantly make it worse every time they fix something, hence murder hornets dissappearance. Its probably the most believable conspiracy theory I've seen about it

Sweet ride, looks pretty tough in all black. Isn't it a model t though?

The best brake fitment I've seen on a vw was porsche 911 brakes and wheels on a mk4 golf, it just looked right with the 1/2 to 3/4 inch gap between the brakes and wheel rim and the caliper just barely tucking in behind the rim. Most of the conversions I've seen just have a slight look of being further back in the arch than the hub of the wheels but they may have been running spacers or the wrong offset.

Wow, thats stunning looking. I particularly like the engine bay and how it looks somehow very mechanical but somehow modern too. Great work

Depending how rounded you want the fenders, a couple of plastic spoons would give you a starting point and the sections you remove might even have the right curve to fill any gaps. They are pretty thin so you may have to double them up

Thats a great way to trade mate. The 330 is one of the cars that seems to get overlooked and is quite under rated imo. I think i'd prefer it over the m3

1936 Ford Aerosport
stitchdup replied to NOBLNG's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I can see some delaheye influences in it that work well but it looks like it could be a little longer to flow better with the style. Not a fan of the gullwing doors though but overall its cool and the front view is awesome -
It really depends on the car, they look good on street rods but would be completely out of place on a 50s style rod (an exception would be the wheels with built in whitewalls ala kindig). They work on pro touring cars but some of them aren't the style of wheels I would use but thats personal choice and not criticism. The cars do need to be lowered if they have bigger wheels though otherwise they look almost lifted. One thing that looks odd to me though is big spoked wheels with tiny brakes or drums behind them. That makes the car look unfinished to me.

Cool buggy

I've got one of the amt gtis on backorder, plan is to display it with the scirocco. I would be interested to see the esci kit. I've seen them on ebay a few times but usually go for the revell kits, but it is one more to add to my vw stash. It cetainly cant be as bad as the mitsuawa golf cab, it was so bad i brush painted it with cheap paints

I've got the tamiya set that looks to be the same as the citadel set picture above, works well but the pointed blade tends to bind on thicker plastic. I also have a no name saw from ebay with a thicker blade than my exacto sets. For most of the stuff i cut i use the no name saw, but for parts like roof chops I prefer the exacto blades but they seem to lose their effectiveness faster than the no name ones but I use them a lot on styrene, resin and acrylic mostly. Tha no name saw is a lot more rigid than the others

something like this?

If you asked my mum what kind of car she had, she would say the colour like thats all you need to know. She does recognice beetles and campers though

I got banned from the forum for not spelling in American. I think the posts I got about that were "you're in America now so spell American". It didn't seem to register that I'm not in America -
The new BMW styling

I've always assumed they were an extra cost option, and instead you get a buzzer to let you know when you are a couplee mm from the car in fronts rear bumper
