    How do you guys do it? I'd like to do a bleached paintjob but the only faded colours i can find are in the yellow thru red range. I'd like to do green. Is there a pale grey/white/dust transparent paint that can be used to age the paint?

    yes but uscp do engines and bays for many of them

    its more austin than bmw anyway

    Nicely done my friend. I just found your files on cults and i will be purchasing them soon

    if you do the same before removing parts from the supports, they come away much easier with less marking

    you could model them some tiny wheelbarrows and shovels

    I just tried to do a google image search for these engine and the first 6 lines of pics were this thread. one mcm thread is affecting the google algorythym

    theres a few 3d print options. maybe iceman collections, texas 3d customs or one of the other vendors will have them

    Thats kinda cool, makes me think old cop chase videos would be far better to watch

    if it is a scam you can report them to trading standards in the uk. Its a bit like your consumer protection bureaus, but they have the power to take them to court and shut them down while seixing the assets. They may also tell you if there have been other complaints about the company

    would the blazer chassis suit the van with a little stretching?

    that twin cam version is giving me strong jag 6 vibes. must be the valve covers

    look among the rc parts on cults. there are loads of parts for these but they might need rescaled. or this guy makes grilles for them already so may be someone that would draw up some bash bars to go with them. https://cults3d.com/en/design-collections/MorriesKustoms/morries-kustoms-body-parts

    the capri is an 80s version my friend. it will have different lights, grilles and bumpers than the monogram kit which are mk2. If you cant find a trade for it putting it on euro ebay could surprise you as these are massively popular cars in the uk and germany

    kiformservices has a range of truck decals too but they are mostly the actual manufacturers rather than the user logos. Also, they can only be overcoated with enamel clear as acrylic will shrivel them up

    Very nice work. How was it to do the building? did it need any tools we might not have in our model kits? the reason i ask is because i desperately want to build the viking ship for an up helly ya dio

    Very cool, mad mike has had one of these built with a 5 rotor motor to enter formula drift. I guess his 4 rotor mclaren wasn't wild enough

    I would look for another clear plastic. the bottles lose their clarity after a few months and look fogged up or scratched. if you've put effort into doing the work, it can be disheartening to see one of the first things you see look wrong.

    rimac now own bugatti in a strange vw merger. I believe its something like rimac own 51% of bugatti but vw own 49% of rimac. They did the same with the porsche audi merger a few years back which led to the porsche suvs since they are just vw tuaregs and tiguans under the skin (and so is the lamborghini suv chassis)

    I was going to suggest the same as swamp dog. that way you can blutac them to the walls and if you feel like changing them up its just a case of swapping them around

    c1-powder over metallic blue paint. this is over pale green non metallic but it gives an idea on how it changes. use it over black for a steel effect. if you get marks on it during assembly just rub on some more

    Being its a gmc is it the correct shape for the a team van?

    Wow and 1/32? the rest of the words i used would make me moderate myself but one was holy
