  1. get one of these and you can brush resin on to repair it. its as easy as brush it on, cure for a minute and repeat until its built up enough. the best bt is it wont fall off and no problems with filler sticking and all for 3 bucks. you can also use the same method to stick back the delamination and if your worried about further delamination you can brush a skin of resin over the inside of hiddens areas https://www.amazon.co.uk/Light-Foldable-Chips-Salon-Narootedkv06rt38e-13/dp/B0D2WLW1FB/ref=sr_1_18?crid=19FAHG0ZITCZE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uLR2khOvP01OyiGyO4nUD0lcnMxwmGf9Ho9o9MbPXGy6CVAlFeFlesYg-9OH7R0r0nr2IpzKsMBd7plIFKILYYQWSn8iah_KQWjwGEy27AxYrIJ0pvGjEqSz0YqL20ltzMw__CskEH2x5RlHAXmm2wZ4Vi5T3RH2GkQX0gxFvbeTt_8GmRjHNU5XRbHs7aEvXNbRZWNv6lsFOUlqcXko28aP3UniucjRroYoz7LcsI7nixzdSeufjs9rbIgu6P2ZYd1Pwh_aRkv7a2iR7fl4VINwBRCC6HrGFYRifG6Pzes.CFDyKN3dsMgiJTyx8VYhnAUMzW5mhjO269lslKrygY4&dib_tag=se&keywords=uv+nail+lamp&qid=1727642873&sprefix=uv+nail+lamp%2Caps%2C338&sr=8-18
  2. If i was doing this i'd probably leave the trim and just fill the door gaps as the trim itself looks pretty close and may be correct once the door is stretched. But the top fin i would replace from front to back just to make it one piece and it would allow it to be shaped off the car which would be simpler initially.
  3. except for the foose version, its 1/25
  4. yes but use the back edge of the scalpel blade. it holds the line better and is less likely to wobble and slip. if you work slowly and leave the corners til last (makes the rest of the cuts easier as its a little firmer) you should manage it in an hour or two. you might need to add some small tabs behind the dash when you go to remount them so check for anything they might interfere with later. good luck
  5. if you peel back the blue label end, they still do have multi languages. its too small to read without a quantum microscope but it is all there still.
  6. from pics on the internet it looks like you could swap the glove box and gagues around. it would take some careful cutting but both look to be square and the same size which makes it easier. the centre console would also need altered and that is more difficult but not impossible. also maybe theres another version of the kit has both dash included such as an american race version
  7. calling it done for now. a friend is going to help me wire some leds in later to make it a photobox. Tractors are revell and heller with one fergie converted to a 35 like my grandads as a near finished resto
  8. violin s is never the answer
  9. nahunelcustoms on cults does a few and amt did a pymouth
  10. i'd look at z forcemodelworks, they have a load of resized stock rims and being printed you can do them any size
  11. arrrived in scotland today still no sign of 222 though
  12. shouldn't ben dover be a customs agent?
  13. Nice work, i just saw a load of these at a show but my pics didn't turn out very well. your game parts look great when they're all painted up
  14. a ford freda and i'd never heard of it either. i guessed at australian or south african but it turned out to be japanese. pic from interne t
  15. the local model club had a show today. only a couple of cars but plenty armour and military stuff and for the purposes of this post i'm calling the dolls houses dioramas as these def aint toys now. over 300 more pics here https://freeimage.host/album/GQ3zb/?sort=name_asc&page=1&seek=d8pHyt1 i only found out about the show earlier in the week so i didn't display this time but might next time. there one model pictured twice with a lighter in the second pic to show how small it is. the fun fair is all scratched as most of the large action man/ gi joe army vehicles
  16. cool, these were proper little sleepers
  17. i used tamiya under hok but i put a barrier of automotive clear between them. i also let each layer sit for a week so it was an 8 week process but its worth it for hok
  18. mine was a similar looking but chunkier wheel. something looks a bit off with the whole wheel/gauges area. its almost like its been pulled back and up
  19. flickr is a decent source. theres groups for most brands
  20. older euro trucks mostly https://public.fotki.com/boballoa/
  21. the last era of decent cars from peugeot was when these were around. the 1.6 was fun but the 1.9 had a somewhat predictable habit of spinning 180 on tight corners if you booted it at the right time. they were unbeatable in stock autotests for a while until the focus rs arrived. i had 2 of these when i worked in the bodyshop but one was a 4 door diesel that always felt like it was in the wrong gear. it would be cool to build a modernised version so i'll get at least 1
  22. since its red and revell you'll need to do a mettalic silver or gold layer between the primer and colour coats. the revell red and orange leeches a lot of colour through the paint and the silver stops it
