  1. would the revell 37 sedan not work better to build a more stock version
  2. Thats pretty cool, I like the late 80s early 90s style of it
  3. Great kit, I've built one as a 35 and have another part done as a rusty one and 4 more unstarted. One word of caution, the rear brake rods are very fragile and their attachment to the sprue is pretty thick which makes removing them more work than normal, hence my rusty version.
  4. from the modeltruckin website; As a reminder for some of the ones not familiar with my decals, these are printed on clear waterslide paper. Simply cut and dip in warm water for a few moments til the decal loosens from the paper. These are not peel & stick. Decal setting solution is not necessary, but can be used. This can be picked up at any hobby shop or even at Hobby Lobby.
  5. Its the 1/24 kit(i hope,I never thought to check but its priced close to the other 1/24s) mine should be here tomorrow or sat so I'll be posting pics of the contents then
  6. Amazing detail!
  7. That would be kinda freaky if it is, lol
  8. Treated myself to a new to me laptop. I considered buying brand new but got a smoking hot deal on a factory reconditioned lenovo. Its much faster than my old one and has twice the storage. I think I'll keep my old one for taking to work with me as i have had it for near 10 years and it wont matter as much if it gets damaged
  9. Very nice, its looks like it could have been a limited edition from mitsubishi
  10. Wishing you and your wife well mate
  11. the van and pick up are in stock currently but the moke and traveller are waitng on stock https://motobitz.uk/kits--trans-kits1.html
  12. Not necessarily, there have been loads of advances in suspension since 1964 and many of the cars that look impossibly low ride much better than they look due to the advances. I've riden in cars with both air and coilovers that are much more comfortable than their appearance would suggest. Its really down to how much you spend on the suspension. The cheap set ups (just for looks) will ride like a radio flyer but a good set up wont.
  13. I'm not sure but i was disappointed when i opened it. All the other parts seem to ok
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. has the orange/red one been lifted? there seems to be much more arch gap showing than the green one
  20. Sweet ride, looks pretty tough in all black. Isn't it a model t though?
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
