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.

I've used it on bare plastic with no problems but it probably wouldn't hold up to polishing. I've used it with primer (duplicolour) too again with no problem. I would test it on some scrap first though as some of them are a little more opaqe than others.

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

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

Very cool,

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

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

Nicely done mate

my e21 316 was the most dangerous car i ever had, I jacked it up one day and the front suspension came through the bonnet. Another 5 mins and i would have been under it. cant complain though, it cost less than some of my kits,

Not sure if its been mentioned yet, but I watched one of their movies the other night called operation finale. Its a factual telling of Israel catching adolph eichmann and is worth a watch

I can see me getting one of these at some point, shouldn't be too hard to stick a 66 nova chassis under it if i really feel the need for and engine but I'm more likely to just do a panel paint job, lower it and call it done

cant be any worse than the real thing, lol

Got two on the way now, I tried to pre order the t2 easyclik van at the same time but it wouldn't let me. I'm hoping to fit the camper interior into the t2 van when it gets released as I used to have one years ago. There's also another version of the mk1 golf being released that looks to be just new decals, but i'll get one anyway

Nice repair work

I just got a notification from hannants that the revell vw t1 camper is now on sale. I'll be ordering a couple tomorrow and will post a review when I recieve them. Looks like it will be popular among us vw guys. It looks pretty nice in the pics (from hannants website)
