Has anyone ever scratch built a diffuser for their race car kit? I'm planning on updating the Revell Corvette C7R to the 2017 car, which had a rear diffuser that is different from the kit. Any advice or dips is greatly appreciated

Looking at my stash right now, I saw I have four different 1/32 PE sets for F-4 Phantom cockpits, but I only have one kit. I think I buy some intending to buy the kit and later am unable to buy due to price/availability. I could probably make a fortune on selling some of my aftermarket PE stuff

The green seat belts are for my Epson NSX kit, it's all but done except for the seat and some minor carbon fiber decals I am waiting on. The red, I prefer 2mm since I am going to use them on my FXX that is on the work bench along with a custom Porsche I am planning. Black for everything else. I have plenty of buckles thanks to Tamiya

I figured I would start this since I am arriving at a bit of point in frustration. It seems to me lately that some aftermarket items are becoming harder and harder to find and buy. For example, with 1/24 cars, I would like to have realistic seatbelts and not the crappy decals or the cheap material Tamiya sometimes includes. I have been trying to track down these types of things for a while, and it gets frustrating, but then I realized something. We as modelers sometimes hoard kits, why not hoard aftermarket? I looked at my stash and saw I have full aftermarket sets just sitting on the shelf and some are for kits I don't even own. My favorite is a full 1/35 LAV-III LORIT conversion that I don't know if I'll ever get around to building. Thinking about this, some of the frustration dissipated and I renewed my search for those darn seat belts. (BW, I am trying to find belts in red, black, and green) Do any of you have a butt load of aftermarket in your stash? Also, anyone know where I can locate some seatbelts? LOL

I am new here, but I figured I could show off my first car build It's all out of the box except for the carbon fiber decals

Hello everyone, name's Chandler I'm new here, though I've been building models for close to thirty years now. I am new to building car kits and found this site while researching some car kits. Hope to show off my builds soon
