  1. Revell has a slot car in 1/32 scale. Model Factory Hiro has high quality resin kits in 1/24 scale. Not sure of their availability though, and pricey. You can find the MFH kits on www.hlj.com Chris
  2. Tommy, it looks great. Bob Downie built one, from the RoG kit. I have a hard time believing it would fit better than Fujimi's though Pics courtesy of Bob Downie: I agree with everyone else though Tommy, put the top down and call it good. What wheels did you use? I like them! Keep those Ferrari's coming. Chris
  3. I'm with Harry on this. I don't think a change was necessary, but hey what does the buying public know? I'm still not a big fan of the '10 either. Chris
  4. That is just too cool of a car, nice work! Chris

    Tommy, believe me, I have lots of Fujimi plastic on my shop floor. Cutting, shaving, re-sizing. THEY WILL FIT I tell ya. LOL Here are the wheels I am using on it: The wheels are pretty wide. That's the big problem. Ride height is something else I'm working on. I didn't realize how small this car and kit are! Chris
  6. Hi Terry, I have heard of you but didn't know you were online. Honestly never looked. I have your site bookmarked and will take some time to peruse it. Thanks for the link. Chris
  7. Would anyone be willing to pick up an extra July issue for me? I'll gladly pay the cost of the mag and shipping. I have no where around here to buy it. I have to get my sub in soon. There are a couple of articles in this mag I want to read. Please contact me via PM if you can help me out. Thanks! Chris
  8. I utilize Aoshima, Fujimi, Mr. Model, Pegasus and die-cast wheels if they have what I want or need. I order most of them direct from Japan, although you have to pre-order them otherwise they have a way of selling out quick. Aoshima produces so many and then when they are gone, you don't see them for years. I wish XS Tuning would have come out with a few more wheel sets in bigger diameters. They had the right idea at the wrong time. Chris

    Nice work Tommy! Not a fan of the color on it, but hey if it makes the wife happy it's a home run. Another clean build. I'm working on one myself right now, but I have aftermarket wheels and trying to get them to fit underneath and inside of the car is proving to be a tough job. I try to do a little bit each day. I have a feeling that Fujimi will issue an Abarth version, just not sure when. I know you can purchase/pre-order some Abarth decals now. Foxer, no engine, just the bottom half molded into the chassis. Chris
  10. Looks good! That's what I like about those kits, plain old modeling fun. No worries on nit picking or colors. Anyway, I like yours, it's very clean and looks great! Chris
  11. Glad to see you stop by and say HI Ismael. I'll let you know if Revell issues a ZR1. That'll bring you back to modeling won't it? Chris
  12. Another clean build of a very cool car. My only thing, and it is personal opinion, not a fan of the wheels. The car looks great lowered but I think the design and color of the wheel just doesn't fit the persona of that GTO. Chris
  13. A red Ferrari? LOL Very nice clean looking build. I had a hard time telling if you painted the engine cover semi gloss black or if you used carbon fiber decals? I'm working on one, not a spider, and noticed some with and without, but it could be the pictures I am viewing too. Anyway, that is a nice spider you have. Great pictures too. Chris
  14. Nice little turnout of models showed up. Got to see some of the guys from Minneapolis area. Good seeing them again. Here are a few pictures with more at the link. You can see the rest at MY FOTKI Chris
  15. The weather was absolutely perfect. Probably the biggest attendance I have seen at this show. There was a little bit of everything for everyone. What I like about this show is that almost any vehicle can be shown here, old and new. Took over 300 pictures. SO, here are a few with more at the link, naturally.T Over 300 pictures at MY FOTKI Chris
  16. That looks like a natural color for that. Cayman Heritage Blue! LOL Nice looking Porsche Jameston! Chris
  17. Here are a few older trucks I took at Back to the 50's. Chris

    Great stuff Dale! You are quickly becoming my new favorite builder. Great models, great photos. Chris
  19. Very smooth clean build! My most favorite Ferrari series. Thanks for sharing. Chris
  20. Rick, thanks for the news! Since I had owned a 73 and a 74 SD-455 Trans Am I can now build one in scale with the correct engine! The only problem I have with the art work is that the car shown is not a 73 Trans Am nor a 74 (obviously), but rather a later model H.O. car. I'd be happy to let him use an image from my car! LOL Chris
  21. Very nice! Clean too. I've got the Testors kit, which I believe is essentially the same. How'd it go together for you? Chris
  22. Chris, another great job. Great looking car. Chris
  23. Happy Birthday Ismael! Be nice to see you back on the board. Miss your vettes, Ferrari's and even the helicopters. Chris
  24. Looks good. That color sits pretty well on there. Is this the Revell USA or Revell of Germany kit? I've got both as well as the Fujimi kit, not sure if I want to tackle the engine and ride height on the Revell's. Looks nice and clean. Chris
  25. Beautiful work. Glad to see you finally finish it. I have to agree with everyone too, the carbon fiber work is really nice. Chris
