  1. I think I know which car you're talking about. When I was looking for pictures of this car I found one like that which I saved on my PC. I can send it to you if you want or you may be able to find it yourself as I found it within the past few months.
  2. Thanks. It's from a company called Provence Moulage
  3. This is the first time I ever worked in resin and 1/43rd. It's a nice kit. Made in France. It was old so the decals were dried out and you know how they can split when you apply them. Most of them were OK but the NISSAN on the wing split into three pieces. Plus they give you two big silver swatches for the front and rear. But they don't cover all the areas that have to be silver and you have to paint it anyway. So I masked over the green and painted the silver with Testors Alum metallizer. And it would be tough to get those decals to lay flat on the contour. Befor I started the model I also scanned the decal sheet. Plus this kit has PE parts too. I put in real screen mesh in the rear and made the tail lights. The kit gives you decals for the screen with the tail lights printed on them. So here's a bunch of pictures. They should appear larger than actual size on your screen unless you looking on a smart phone.
  4. I finished this up last year or so. It was in my closet since around '96. I used a PE parts on it from MCG and I had some nice PE heatshield and alum tubing for the exhaust system. I didn't like glueing the two halve of the fuel tanks and air filters together and having that ugly seem. So I stripped the chrome, puttied and painted them body color.
  5. Hello. I just signed up. I was a regular at escale after Brian's Model Cars shut down. I was Zombywoof at escale. Now I'm just Mike C.
  6. Well, I belong to a couple of other forums so I decided to join this one too. And I lost a good forum that just shut down too, escale if any of you ever used it. I build Mopar muscle cars, foreign exotics, and 1/12 bikes. So I'll be posting them up here. I belong to ACME in GA that puts on the very successful Southern Nationals in Nov.
