    Tim, nice to see you back modeling. I have that Porsche kit so I will be following this  build. Like what you have done so far. And it was nice to meet you in person at Allentown. 

    It was nice to meet you as well Rich. I’ll be back at there next show in February.  Do you have any of the other Formula Canada kits. 

  2. Try using this glue for your lights and clear parts. Works really well. You can find it at Hobby Lobby or Micheals in the bead area.  I also use a toothpick with a tiny bit of putty or clay to place the lens that way your not touching the with your fingers. Car looks great.

    That wiring is out of this world. 

    What are you using for the wires? It is so tiny.

    The scale fidelity is very good with these. Super thin .0075

  4. After moving and the long process of setting stuff up ,I’m back at it. This is the old Formula Canada kit. The transport is a AMT 72 GMC stepside. The transport will be curbside. The ramp was sourced off of EBay. The Porsche was full of pinholes which was expected in the older kit. It’s a basic curbside kit. Which I added to. The car will have the L&M sponsorship. Being from outside of Philly Donohue will be the driver.

  5. The kit is by Aoshima and is a simple curbside kit. The kit does come with a bunch of detail parts and photo etched logos for all the skyline emblems. A nice touch in a 25.00 kit. The kit also includes two different sets of wheels and a racing set with various interior decals. I weathered the car a bit as I wanted to try some pencils that I had bought. See on the workbench for those pictures. I weathered the wheels and the lower parts of the body and the back of the car a long the bottom. This was done by mixing rust and oil stain together and dry brushing it on. I changed the mirrors to black instead of chrome,just thought it gave it a sporty look. A nice little kit to fill a time gap in other projects. The photo etched was painted . I painted it then sanded off the high spots

  6. Thank you.. This was a cheap kit to have around to try something new. The fit in the kit is a bit wonky but they give you a bunch of extra parts. Three sets of wheels and extra seat and has photo etched emblems. Not bad for $22.00
