Great trade with Hedotwo even tWould happily trade again

Are there fender differences too? they appear to be level with the top bar on the sedan but taller than the top bar in the top pic

I've previously bought from him on ebay and had the items shipped to scotland. He may have deactivated international due to all the delays caused by covid

it originally said december but its delayed, should be out fairly soon though

Well after the original body crunbling because i forgot it in brake fluid I started over with the body from the camper version. I also chopped a porsche 959 chassis around to fit the audi v10. I have swapped the audi gearbox for one from a jag xj220 as ir was better detailed and moved then engine forward a little. I've also used the jag suspension at the rear grafted to porsche chassis.Ive made 2 intercoolers to fit in the rear of the cab but still need to find a rad to fit between them.

strangely, there was a lexus in for the same time and it seems ok.

I've been slowly turning one into a hotrod hauler. I wouldn't believe what you've read about heller kits. Its just some reviewers cant get their head around heller kits having their own way of doing things. For the most part they are well detailed but you may find you cant paint the chassis until you have the engine installed but you have to paint the engine first, or the interior door panel usually being part of the glass. Their just different

Nice, these are good looking cars

My reason for not opening the arches is I have a particular stockish stripe job in mind and it wont work with the raised arches.

I forgot the body was in brake fluid when i went to bed last night. as a result the body has cracked and crumbled so i'm taking the body from a camper kit

if you get the harley quinn edition of the polar lights it comes with extra wheels, a set of brm and a set of empi 5 spokes. I think there are a couple of hubcap options too, smooth or stamped vw

Yeah the only bit i didn't like of the polar lights bug was the front seats. But thats just personal preference

The polar lights bug is a snapper but its still builds up nice. It has a engine that details pretty well for what it is, much better than the gunze oval kit. There are parts to make the tamiya beetle into herbie available too. I haven't seen the last revell beetle kits so I cant say if they are as good but the polar lights and tamiya are both good. If you need a rag top insert for your build I have a resin closed top i wont be using

So I saw this pic online and sorta fell in love a little. And I've had this van on the shelf for a while but never really been happy with it, and since my drag bug needs a tow vehicle..... well I'm sure you can guess the rest The van already has all the running gear from an audi r8 in it but could never be seen due to the tint revell put on the glass so a pick up seems like the way forward. I'll be building it without the wide arches and with more of a modern look. Heres how it sat before i pulled it apart.

Turned out nice Kurt, the weathering is very convincing

aoshima do a wheel set that is very close to those

I think tat might be an old frog tool, I read somewhere their tools went east and I've seen the vauxhall wagon in a russian box. It was also 1/16

Are they the same as the monogram sand crab wheels?

Since I'm already building a 57 bug I figured I'd chuck a 66 into the mix too. This one is going drag style with non turbo race engine. To get the tins removed from the engine i used a second engine so it would have full finned heads. I still need to add the bolts to these to finish the look. I used the heads and carbs from a 3d printed engine. Since its a drag bug all the cooling stuff is also gone and the dynamo has been replaced by an alternator. The rear suspension will remain stock (gotta have that rake) but the front has been dropped and narrowed a scale 6" each side. I am using big n little uscp sprint star wheels but for the mock up it is on stock rims. No plan for paint yet but the name is hema roid rage. DoesThere will be another drag bug at some point called hemi roid rage using the imc kit

It looks like you need to remove a little from these areas. I would start at front edge and get it fitting first before doing the sides

Since I'm already building 57 bug I deciede to build 66 drag bug at the same time. Used 2 tamiya engines and parts from a 3d printed engine to create a pauter machine type drag engine. If it was a v8 I guess it would be called a big block

Very cool, the bike in the back is a nice touch

Beautiful work on the wheel, looking forward to more. I'd love to see some pics of the manx also

There was someone on here that built rads using section of fly screen layered with the up/down in line with each other but the horizontals were staggered. It looked pretty convincing. It was a while back but i think it might have been a user by the name of hemi426 or similar

I will be filming it. As I said to my councilors why should I pay for a new bin when theres every chance the same thing will happen again. I really think they made a mistake with the bins they got as the recycling bins that are a couple of inches shorter never get damaged on the same truck. I made sure they know I will refuse to pay for a new one anyway and suggested they provide a large trade size wheelie bin instead of what we have. Theres 18 absolutelly stinking bins outside my block when one large bin would hold the same amount and take up less space
