  1. you can find the rally lights in the italeri/revell ford escort mk2 rally kits
  2. tha black sled is based on a citroen bx. the builder also built these london taxi bmw z3 and this which is a bitsa dis and bitsa dat
  3. guys, take it back to the releases please. I am sure round 2 et al. will let us know whats happening when they know. i suspect the delays are due to the tariffs as the stuff that was already on the boats jumped in price after leaving china so those will show the new prices first. nobody wants the price to change after delivery like the stuff on boats. companies are going to delay shipments until its settled again.
  4. I usually use auto fillers that go on top of the primer for my models but i've got some milluput to use. Can it be used over primer too or do i need bare plastic? I'm trying to not buy any new stuff just now and to use up what i've already got in stock
  5. fact, ors you could just read the emblem
  6. its missing the original dealer fitted taxi light and mismatched bumper. i'd give the resto 7 out of 10 because of that
  7. ditomaso/nahunel customs did fatman steering wheels for me and is happy to do custom work for folk. those wheels look like something they would add to their designs as they do a lot of rod n custom parts. i think it took a week from me asking to get the files
  8. if you find the parts are too bent send me a pm. i have a few leftover parts kits for the r8
  9. theres 3d printed options. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/dodge-power-wagon-w100-1962 https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/dodge-w200-power-wagon-crew-cab-1962 https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/dodge-d100-1967 https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/dodge-d100-1967-andrey_bezrodny if you look in the aftermarket section, theres a member printing these and i'm sure they could mix and match the files to get the version you need
  10. theres a couple wagons on cults. could be worth asking the designers to do a hardtop
  11. Are they metallic/pearl and did you clear them?
  12. I saw a history documentary on the history channel once
  13. you could try warming it with a hair dryer and carefully picking at it
  14. Well I set this aside and ordered another, but I inadvertantly left it in a window that gets sun most of the day and it straightened out by itself. Not sure if this normally happens or if it just did it cos i ordered another, lol
  15. lets see some pics of the coe in the background please

  17. yes, its not much but i can feel it on my finger tips
  18. It suits me for the printing i do but its not fast. I'm using black resin just now and a set of small wheels took 12 hours. It was only a 32mm total height. if i get another i'll try something else next time but i only have the m3 to make bodies easier to print. a lot of the time i just use the mono though i'm tempted to set it up for doing light lenses and small clear. the biggest drawback with anycubic machines is they need a warmer area to work than others and the fep on the m3 is difficult to tension. i've taken to pressing it after install to put a little give in it which seemed to help. but i learned most of the little i know on here and spent a fortune on trial and error.
  19. take care painting these. my buick and pontiac from the same series both went textured when i tried tamiya primer on them
  20. the auto fill on the anycubic m3 max is trash. I'm on my third unit and they never work for long

  22. You should be ok with auto primers on their own. just work slowly and let it build up slow and even. i use only auto primers as hobby sprays are hard to get local. i like the acrylic auto paints as they can be used with tamiya most of the time. I'd use a scrap kit to practise on until you are happy with the results. if it goes bad you can strip it with 99% ipa alcohol fairly quickly
