Welcome Tony. Where abouts are you located, I'm just off the tip of scotland

why not use the revell 67 chassis?

The revell pre war opel blitz truck has a set with plastic tyres

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

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

accademy kits have bad box art but look to build up nice

Looking for the stock tailgate. My built up only has the custom part and its moving up the build pile

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

if your missing any parts i have a pile of these kits so just send a pm

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

I'm glad the subject wasn't how many builds do you finish, most of us would be hanging our heads in shame, lol

Depends what your looking for. I think most folk just go by subject matter rather than who makes it

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

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

Does it scale to the amt sedan kit?

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.

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

Thats cool, now youjust need one of those colourful hawaiian flower garlands around the roof to finish it off Pat.

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

avoid the gorrila super glues. The fumes from them will destroy clear coat even if it just sitting close and on a seperate part. I glued a part o a pick up and the clear on the bug next it bubbled

I tend to have about a dozen on the go at a time. My tastes vary and some days i'll feel like something 30s and the next might be modern japenese or 70s saloon. I find having more than one on the go lets me switch as the mood takes me. For example I have a model a phaeton, a 37 lincoln, a 49 merc, a 55 ford pick up, a vw brasilia, a vw type 3 notch, a vw bay window pick up, a 75 ford escort, a t3 vw custom pick up, a holden hq, a 86 monte carlo, a r32 skyine and a r36 gtr liberty walk in various states of play and some others i might pick up for a day now and then. Only the model a is anywhere close to box stock

It could be worse Its very rare for a car to be released with an already accident damaged front end but its a look thats growing

have you considered a fender mounted spare ala 30s caddy

57 caddy for classic in stock or custom form newer new beetle for modern

home is where the heart is so i assume its wet and sticky with a horrific view
