i've seen files for them on cults but they call them tooned builds. Theres ones for most popular tuner cars and some muscle cars are creeping in too. I've got similar style vw teapot somewhere

if you dont mind ordering from abroad, both hiroboy (zero paint) and spot model stock it

when they were released people on here went mad for them, esoecially the aircooled vw guys cos the rear tyres are on every cal looker. I struggled to find any to order even at 1999 and hlj

I dont have the bentley but i took some pics with the spit engine and a monogram packard which i think is a similar size. maybe they will help. one thing to remember is the engines are mounted backwards in the spit (thanks to acegarageguy for that info). they aren't great pics as i dont want toremove the engine from the sprue but for the packard it looks like it would be a tight but not impossible fit though that is just the block and valve covers without the ancilliaries. Thet still race some of the early aircraft engine cars which must be fun with the chain drives and wooden chassis, and many of them are driven to the track.

its a lovely colour. not a modern paint but there was blue and grey to it as well. i'm trying to find the paint code for it to use on a 36 kustom

for those that want to see the model in question https://forums.aaca.org/topic/145354-rogers-handcrafted-112-scale-models/

I can see i'll be spendig a lot of money this year. the fendt and celica are the stand outs but theres others i'll end up with too

I'd try some of the smaller tow truck manufacturers. The dovetails would fit their product lines and could be considered the fore runners to modern car haulers with tilt n drop trays

after a cesna crashed into a graveyard the authorities had to call in reinforcements due to finding 843 bodies

was there a cop behind them?

wow, i was hoping they were going to continue the 70s stuff but this is a surprise. I thought it would be tamiya or aoshima that did the gr first

my mistake, the paint is from the 1926 model t, its going on a 36

its not that its unreasonable, its more that most of us are pretty stuck in our way of doing things so adding tags is easily forgotten and they only really work if everybody uses the same tags. if they dont you get a page of variations on the spelling of some brand names. for example dupli-colour has a variety of brands they sell as and many have different spelling. in the usa you dupli-color, in the uk its dupli-colour and thats 2 tags for the same product just from 2 countries that allegedly speak the same language so when you add in the rest of the languages you might have 30 tags for one item and no 2 spelled the same. i still say if its big scale add that in the title. its the only part most of us read anyway.

again no lechler code, i might have to find a supplier that uses ppg since their code comes up everytime.

nah since its yellow i'd go slammed budespost van

it does, my mind can rest now, lol

the pic is the tamiya wheels

it doesn't go back far enough. i've found other brands codes but zero use lechler paints

i didn't realise there was a panel kit, now i need to find one as i have versions of the rest

theres a set of gt40 wire wheels on cults for free download. they would probably be closer to the cobra rims https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/imc-ford-gt40-wire-wheel after looking at them the jag rims seem closer. the ones from the tamiya mk2 jag might be a good fit

I'm wanting to buy some ford gunmetal blue for a build and i need a lechler paint code for zero paints to be able to mix it. I'm getting nowhere on the lechler site but i did find some mixing charts but none of them add up to 100% so they must be missing a colour and none say what shade to mix from. I'm wanting to use it on my la salle grille'd 36 ford as the colour would be perfect for it

i did this with white primer and used tamiya scooby blue for the fade. Might not be the best example cos i broke evey paint rule with this one. every paint was a different brand and this was just the base

no but there are some great 3d ones and all the vw option wheels. Other then the early aircooled engine everything is available to do any body version. I suspect we'll see some special edition kits soon as it 75 years of the transporter this year and since its an anniversary for the british transit too we have something special planned for our vintage rally this year. And another surprise too thats very special......

have you considered using white duplicolour primer? it matches tamiya pure white once its cleared and if you let it sit an extra 24 hours to gas out can be used with tamiya paints without drama.

Ed Fluck suggests using thinners.
