  1. For larger fills I've been using gold topstop from simoniz, its a finegrain 2 part automotive filler that comes in litre size tins. For pinholes i've been using 3m green spot putty from a tube. For gaps that have nothing behind them i used acrylic finger nail filler with the 5 minute activator but it really smells strong so Im doing some practice with white milliput since it has much less fumes and does a similar job, and is also much easier to sand down. For now though since i'm stick away from home i'll be using humbrol filler but it can be very hit and miss sometimes
  2. Another thing i just remembered about the side coves, when i did mine i tried to fill the gaps afterwards but in reflection I would have been better adding the plastic before i stuck them on. It was a pain trying to get them right and would have saved a lot of cussing if I had done it first. It still works the way i did it, it would just have worked better doing it first
  3. The meng kits are impressive, even the boxes they come in are among the boes quality i've seen in kits. Revell could learn a lot from meng when it comes to the packaging.
  4. there an h1 hummer too, it looks pretty good. I still need to get the jeep
  5. I've got a very similar build in my unfinished pile. I did a slice at the lower corners of the window so i could pull the pillars into line, I think i sliced about 5mm (maybe less its been unfinished a while) into the corners at about 45 degress. I didn't cut the top either, but i leaned the entire rear forward, but it may have only worked for me as i sectioned the body too. I really need to dig it out and finish it. I put it back in the box after the pillars broke at the rear so if you do a little reinforcing to the back of them you can avoid that pitfall as the fit was very tight on mine. I hope this helps sorry the pics are poor but hopefully you can see how i avoided cutting the roof
  6. That looks sweet, and very current in your styling choices. Very nice paint too
  7. Awesome build, my first field car was a mk2 escort and while i'm more into vws now i would love another mk2 and im no fussy about body style
  8. meng did the f350 superduty crewcab also. Its a pretty nice kit but seems hard to find now.
  9. I've been a fan of bisimoto since they did the mini van, and its kinda cool to see an electric car i would like to own.
  10. Some rwb porsches if your into that sorta thing:- https://stickydiljoe.com/2020/03/14/nostalgic-2days-a-visit-to-rwb-chrncls-vlog-2020-12/
  11. along with a wide selection of plastic strips, tools and some bug fender skirts this camaro arrived. it wont let me post the pic but its the amt 2017 in yellow
  12. Its very different here, we are supposed to excercise close to home and can only do so for an hour a day. If we were to drive somewhere for a reason that isn't work, essential food or medical reasons we can be fined for it. The police are enforcing it but as you say differnet countries have different methods so who knows who has it right
  13. Looks pretty cool, to update the post just go to the bottom and hit reply in the comments box the same as you would when commenting on another post
  14. Looking forward to the rabbit, i keep missing them when i bid and i need one to use my teddy bears on
  15. That looks like a nice piece
  16. after removing batteries
  17. Thats sweet, i was planning to do something similar to mine
  18. Plenty of times, i got a 99 mustang to rob the engine and other parts from, and have 2 amt camaros in the post for the same purpose. I've been hunting one of the custom pontiacs to use the frame and interior on a johan olds but they just aren't popping up at a price i'd pay for a donor. If kits pop up cheap enough i often use them to bump me into the free postage too, which is why i have a 1/24 stegasoras skeleton and a few airfix 1/32 kits that i use for shaped plastic as the shapes can save a lot of filling
  19. I'm glad you are trying to do what you can to help them instead of just getting rid of them. I will be following along for your updates cos its just too cool to see them mature. If they were crows, you would have friends for life but i dont know if any of the wren family remember as well as crows.
  20. Cool, it reminds me of chezoom but a more modern version
  21. Just arrived for less than a tenner delivered
  22. Could it be the back edge of the door making the roof look funny, theres something looks off there
