I used to have a drag racing game when i was a kid. It had an orange 4 lane track and came with 4 half inch long dragsters. I dont think i ever played it as intended but from my hazzy memory you had to roll dice before moving your car. I think my one may have been incomplete too as it was a reject from a charity shop my mum helped out at. I hope someone here might have pics of it as mine is long gone -

If you cant get them from scaleproduction there is a seller on ebay called a-modeller (bna modelworld is his web shop) that has a load of older scale production wheels in stock. Shipping isn't much more than from germany or hobby design do a set of metal and resin rims but they dont have tyres -

They sit on the inside mate, the outside is a bit wet and they struggle to hold their breath that long, lol -
Nicely done, a bit of black wet n dry under it on the last pic and you'd struggle to know it was a model
-
I'm sure that car is still around, almost positive i've seen it in show coverage or a museum somewhere

Love the alfa wagon mate and your boat and tank are wild Kurt. How about a mid engined big bedfors lowrider? Or the complete opposite to Kurts boat car but sorta similar, a jag xj220 powerboat and finally a blower bentley hot rod pick up -

If you know someone with false teeth that used the tablets to clean them, get them to save the tubes for you, thin walled and easy enough to make a smaller diameter as its already a tube -
You've got a nice collection there, they all look sweet

A little more progress this afternoon. I've done a little more on the front underhood area but there lots more to be done here. The tubs are a bit narrower than the underhood but I have a plan to fix that and add more detail at the same time. While that was setting up so I could do more work I start modifying the front seats. The airtrax seats while very nice just didn't really fit the vibe of the build. I had it sat next one of the porsche seats and noticed the centre would fit them so I started cutting out the centre from the porsche seat, then shaped the 412 seat centre to fit in the gaps. After a little filler on the edges they should blend into the mostly stock looking interior. And heres the front stance, the rear will be a little higher for a slight rake but to get the camber on them i will have to sand the bottom of the tyres to suit as since their resin my usual method of melting the tyres on a frying pan wont work

i'm comparing it to the pre painted 300c and if you expect as much painted as it you would be dissapointed. The body was already painted but the chassis and interior blacks were just bare plastic. Its not a bad kit just not really what i expected after the 300c but what is painted was nicely done. Still it filled an afternoon and i can glue the hood (no hinges or anything to hold the hood in place either) shut now and rob the engine for my 64 caddy

Looks good mate

same here mate, but customs on the other hand have had my pe folder since october. I've pretty much given up on it now and bought another as I cant get a refund until custom actually do something with it. I could understand if it was something dodgy but its just some metal blocks and bolts really. God alone knows what they think it is, lol

This is one of the pre decorated amt kits. It builds up quite well but a lot of the black parts were left in bare plastic instead of being painted which i found a little dissapointing after the nicely done parts on the pre decorated 300c kit. I think they should really have painted the interior blacks at the very least so i went over them with citadel black and picked out the vents with satin. I also flocked the floor but none of the interior is visable for pics as the glass is pretty thick in this kit. I didn't bother doing any painting to the chassis as it wont be seen on the shelf. I may end up stealing the engine from this for something else, and glueing the hood shut
