rolling some blue tack over the tape residue should remove it if its on gloss paint. I havent tried it on matt paints

If they ever did that the magazine would have to be called its raining

Been put on a partial lockdown again, possibly for 6 months. I'm only going to see one person at work for a couple of mins every two weeks and have to spend the rest of the time alone because of my imunocompromised chest. Its going to be hell spending all that time alone. My only other option is to quit my job and move out to my mums but that means losing my home. Not sure what the best idea is

Local to me there are 24 of the new mustangs which is pretty high for somewhere with about 25,000 people. 5 of them are the v6 and the rest are v8s. I know one guy bought 2 so he could stash one away but then the same guy has built his house around his mini and sierra rs500 both of which just has delivery miles on but if he was to sell he would have to take down a outside wall. My dad was one of the builders on the house and he said it was a major pita having to work wround the cars and not get any marks on it. They had a lot of duvets and tarps over it

You might find the tractor paint doesn't react the way normal enamels do. We used them at a previous job and it was awful to flat, even after 2 months it gunked up the wet n dry paper. The boss tried using the machine polisher on it and it wrecked the mophead with the amount of colour that came off. We found out later that its just a spray and forget type of thing to be used on industrial stuff where the finish isn't so important

thanks guys

Cool, I just finished one of these last week. You'll find the plastic on the wheels will show throught he paint more than most reds do

Very nice, the colour looks particularly nice on the mk1

Sweet, one of my fav rally cars when i was a kid. it was always fun to watch them drifting 25 years before it got popular

those radars are nice wheels, I've recently got a set. I can happily recomend their brm and sprintstars too. The ss are staggered unlike the other aircooled rims from uscp

I hadn't seen this before but I'll be trying it soon cos I gotta model a thats stalled out on the interior and this looks like a good way to sort that out.

I use spray cans in my booth regularly. No issues other than sometimes forgetting to put the hose out the window

This just got off the boat. Maybe not that unusual in the US, but in Orkney this is very unusual and makes a nice change from the fairly large number of new mustangs and ranger pick ups. sorry pfor the poor pic

thanks guys

thanks guys

when your partner tells you that you have too many models and you have to sell some, but you really dont want to. Of course its worth that much honey, you tell her knowing you wont have to part with any (and if you do you can buy a load more)

Thats pretty cool. There's modelling in the last series of agants of shield too, looked to be monogram and revell kits from the early/mid eighties

They dont seem to be covering the comment box now, thanks Dave

heres a pic of the original issue contents (and a few from the 57 chevy kit in white) I believe the recent reissue has the same parts, but the showboat version does not

I'm not allowed the medicine that helps myconstant pain because someone deemed it illegal long before I was born. Instead my only option is opiate painkillers and diazepam and to be unable to work because of the many side effects. I'm not ready to retire at 45 and i want to keep working but to get the thing that helps i have to be dying first which I'm not planning any time soon.

Is anyone else finding the reply/comment box filled with an ad? They are covering the part for pics and most of the box, when I try to post a thread and it seems pointless to not put pics of the models along with the description of it. Its happening on every thread for me except this one funnily enough

I'm sure the opel I built had different wheels to the box art but it was a while ago and the model is long gone. I seem to remember the wheels were more of a spoked look (not wires)

For me its because I have trans kits for some of them or its just kits I have more than one plan for or even because some of them are parts goldmines. Also some were too cheap to turn down (trade fodder)

Yeah its a very simple kit and i probably paid too much for it since my plan is a x pack kit and cossie engine on some wide wheels. I tried what I think is a 80s mustang chassis under it and it should fit with a little trimming. I'll not be using the kit headlights either as i like the early mk2 square lights better so the spares from the belkits mk1 escort will be used instead. I'm going to have to reshape the bumpers too so they are more uk spec mk2 versions but it should be pretty simple to thin them down.

Couple of arrivals today. I've been after the capri for far too long (before i was a vw guy, i was a ford guy) and the morris was just too cool looking to turn down
