  1. i have a couple of the amt bel aires but i'm sure theres a w motor in some of my other kits too. i'll have a look in the morning
  2. very cool, i see a lot of t3 vw transporter in the bodies
  3. The one with the air bubbles would work great. What do you need in return?
  4. up until about 10 years ago i was in your area a lot skateboarding so i view things the other way, lol
  5. there were some wordscausing posts to be rejected. Most seemed to be co mmand type words and need spaces or extra letters added to get the post past the issue. If it might be word used for computer commands try doing the above and see if it works. I'm not really a computer guy but this was an issue for some members fairly recently until Dave figured it out
  6. are you using a phone with one of the free browsers? they often have stuff like that
  7. Welcome Tony. Where abouts are you located, I'm just off the tip of scotland
  8. The revell pre war opel blitz truck has a set with plastic tyres
  9. It looks like they reduced the angle the parts were printed at to try and print it faster. I get this happening on bodies quite often which would be around the same size. Theres every chance the seller just didn't notice the warp as when the parts are seperate and still on the supports they can look decent. Its only when you use them you find the flaws
  10. put them in a tote with some clean kitty litter and stick the lid on for a few days. also works to keep stored vehicle interiors going foosty
  11. accademy kits have bad box art but look to build up nice
  12. Looking for the stock tailgate. My built up only has the custom part and its moving up the build pile
  13. you can find the swiss lincoln on one of the euro american car club forums. i cant remember which one but it was aimed towrd pre war cars mostly
  14. if your missing any parts i have a pile of these kits so just send a pm
  15. those wheels are from the revell mercedes 190e 2.3 amg. I have it sitting next me so it was an easy find. they are usually called mercedes penstars or pentastars
  16. I'm glad the subject wasn't how many builds do you finish, most of us would be hanging our heads in shame, lol
  17. Depends what your looking for. I think most folk just go by subject matter rather than who makes it
  18. expressions of the future now include eternal life for all as due to inflation nobody can afford the light at the end of the tunnel
  19. Your not the first its happened to. A member on another forum found a build thread for his motorbike on a youtube channel that gets paid for content
  20. Does it scale to the amt sedan kit?
  21. I'm guessing you mean the rims on Billsj black car as they were the only enkei rims i saw on the thread. If aoshima dont do them as a wheel set look at the hasegawa tuner kits of 70s and 80s japanese cars. They will be available in 3d also. Enkei or rota wheels seem to be the most common rims but given how popular they are with tuners thats not a surprise. I'm sure i've seen those rims in a 80s civic kit though.
  22. it makes them more difficult to get looking right, the molded in lights tend to be soft on details and edges of trim aren't defined as clear as they could be
  23. Thats cool, now youjust need one of those colourful hawaiian flower garlands around the roof to finish it off Pat.
  24. Start by thinning out the inside of the body. It will save you a lot of work in that small space. I would get it down to between 3-5mm where you are removing material, then start from the outside. Did you give the body a good wash in hottish soapy water too? if not go and do it now before any more work is done as the jimmy flintstone bodies always have mold release on them and it will cause problems later when you get to paint. You should fix the damage after its washed and 2 part auto filler should work, though you may want to put some masking tape behind it so it has something to set up against. Dont try and rush it as thats when it goes wrong i find
