  1. i think its just an old ford or merc done up. apart from the window being a different shape, which could plausibly be a change for production testing, the area between the fins and top of the body is a different shape. i think its more likely heavily inspired by it for a tv show, movie or parade.
  2. honest sales ad (with missing information) classic car for sale. one careful lady owner (the other 20 owners didn't give a hoot(prob cos the horn rotted away))who only used it twice a week, once for groceries and once for church(both on opposite ends of daytona beach).
  3. I thnk this is a tie in for a anime show. Hasegawa have loads of manga/anime tie ins
  4. if you look on 1999.com they normally show the instructions for the kits in the pics. you'll need to click them to get them large
  5. nah, i live on an island so they charge extra for shipping paints. it would make the revell stuff over £60 a tin. zero paints i haven't tried yet but i do have the golf harlequin paint from them
  6. great wheel choice, they look just like the stock steels with the webbing removed from tthe spokes
  7. the essex v6 is available in 3d print. its an early version out of the british fords such as, capri, cortina and granada. the print version is for upgrading the italeri transit kits so its a single carb and the block and intake are one part.
  8. if you log in with your email address and password you should be good.
  9. preference implies the existance of postferance
  10. out with the old and in with the new
  11. tractors would be difficult to run multiples from one tool. they tend to have much more changes from model to model so all that might swap is the rear ends. you can always paint them as airfield tractors though. heller only got 2 versions out of the grey fergie and 2635 because they were only smaller parts on the fergie and a colour change on the 2635. if you look at the miniart tractors you can see what i mean easier. they follow succesive versions and none of the parts carry over between them. i think there is only 4 years between those kits
  12. my experience tells me gsw has a mildly better shine but it goes off much too fast in the bottle. i opened my bottle to do a test and when i went to use it 3 months later it was just shiny grey mettallic. at least molotowe lasts a decent time when not being used, i have 2 og pens that are still chrome
  13. you could have a look here https://customrodder.forumactif.org/ or here carnut.com both have thousands of old rod and custom pics but carnut is more middle america while custom rodder is international
  14. i kinda want to read the rest now. i can just see the entry for baking. eating makes you gain weight and if you get constipated you may explode and destroy half your house, and may also contain gluten
  15. you can get lenses from googly eyes and if you cut them close to the base they leave a small lip that could be used to clip them onto yo body. theres also half rhine stones that look close to modern crystal style led lights in the jewellery section that if you cut them into squares and place in a line look like those off road light bars
  16. a few seconds with a file will fix that
  17. right down at the bottom of the page is the contact details for them https://www.alphamodelkit.com/
  18. you probably wont get parts that old from toyota unless its for a supra, but camry are popular at breakers yards. at nearly 40 years old you'll probably struggle to even find pattern parts new
  19. if you haven't seen the universal hobbies fordsons i suggest having a look. really nice diecast tractors
  20. use forgot password first, then once its fixed you can change the email address
  21. the GTi had black trim in the arches so you could maybe fix the arches that way. the lower trim levels had larger arch covers for some versions that cover the entire arch
  22. just yse normal body polish. the chrome polish will take off more of the shine as its usually a mild abrasive polish
  23. they obviously got sick of tickets for not indicating
