  1. another day, another emhar bedford. only the tipper left to get but it doesn't interest me much. This i got for the chassis and front end so i can try doing an old bus. The kit provides the correct chassis for the bus bt the body from the screen back will be scratched. I have some great engineering drawings of the side profile so it might not be too bad. The leftover tank and its base will be added to my old shed dio as a lot of them ended up that way
  2. This car was the first to have many features we get today. It has a lot of old electronics that were custom mad for it. The styling isn't to my taste but i think it looks like this
  3. I'm building the emhar bedford and i've hit a snag with the bed floor. Its a wooden top but is there steel under it? This era is 40 years before i was born and finding reference isn't easy. I'm close to painting it so any help is appreciated
  4. the wheels aren't nice. Either the holes are too small or the rim is too thick but they look off
  5. "out of the black and into the red" was a common phrase on bullseye
  6. you could put the can in a poly bag before you puncture it. then you can cut the corner off the bag to pour it
  7. more city to city Pat, we called it the flying shoebox
  8. until the mid 90s they used the longer version of these for our national flights.flying on one was a truly miserable experience
  9. cadillac northstar on dubs, lol
  10. unless you want to build the drag version, i'd look for the tamiya or new revell 1/24 beetle kits. they are much nicer kits
  11. dry just now but i'll be drookhit later when i have to go out
  12. i've added you to Daves list. If you message him both account details he can do some stuff to make them one account
  13. theres a few on cults. they aren't well labelled and a lot are by french designers so they all hav diffrent search words. i dont think many are tagged tamiya
  14. 3d will soon have engines and bays
  15. scott nuffin tae dae wae u offisher
  16. since its a recent shade i'd try your local auto parts store. by the time you take shipping into it, it'll be near the same cost anyway
  17. i just looked on the decalgas website. it said sold out, no more stock. If the decide to do more i'd be a customer
  18. do you think thats the original owner too?
  19. a bit more progress. for such a modern kit i'm surprised how much clean up is needed. i might have got a bad kit but every part has been slightly out of line and required a lot of scraping. I built the similar era opel blitz and i dont recall it needing much done. Still, it hasn't put me off emhar and i just got the towtruck version. apart from the extra clean up its going together well but i could do with three hands in places. I've also made a start on the tractor but i'm not far enough along with it to show much. Its been a lot of tiny parts, like the icm model a has but it seems a little less daunting than the miniart road tractor which i've put back in the box many times, lol.
  20. an emhar bedford towtruck and a monogram 37 ford parts lot. all i wanted was the coupe body but they seem to be going up in price. this saved me a load of cash
  21. we had to cut the edit window down. scammers were using it to edit in trash after moderation
  22. automotive cutting compound
