2. You can have more than one relationship. (Work In Progress)

Like the different subject, don't think I've seen one built. Looks very nice! But something is missing....

That's looks really sharp! I can't imagine painting around all those funny aerodynamic appendages, that's insane! The engine area looks like a motorcycle.

cleaner boiling vat,

^^^ Interesting observation James. Wonder when pot shops will start sponsoring racing?

Thank you for the clarification. I wish you the best, and hope you have patience stashed somewhere. Doing all those edges in red will be fun!

Killer work there my man! I love purple to begin with, so this is awesome.

Only because I got the Beemax Quattro with HB tobacco secret decals, and an Auto Union C with Swastika decals from Portugal, do I find this censorship thing interesting. Carry on....

^^^ Great story! I have this kit, wondered how it builds. I figured it was typical quality, sure looks good to me!

Welcome! You are taking on an ambitious project out of the gate! What do you mean by "full engine kit"? I see there seems to be a Fujimi kit with engine as an option. I ask because I have bought other brand engines for kits that never had a full engine. Several on eBay for whoever is interested. https://www.ebay.com/p/Fujimi-Models-125978-1-24-Lamborghini-Veneno-DX-W-pe-Parts-Model-Kit/1051934649

Thank you! I have some small disposable pipettes that should work.

This video was taken last year over a fire in Arizona, thought it was the Goodwin Fire but title says otherwise. The DC-10 saved the day nevertheless. The 747 is another subject, which gets into politics, so won't go there.

I should watch this topic. I have a VW bus emblem that I want to make separate. Was thinking of making an RTV mold on the body, then remove it from the body so the paint can be smooth in that area, then cast a new emblem. Looks like some tips here might help.

Shows how little I know, since it's a European brand, was not familiar with the logo. If I wanted to get a pack to display at contests, it might cost more than the model! The Honda NSR250 of Ralf Waldmann, used in the 1996 season HB sponsored the Audi Sport Rally team in the 1984 World Rally Championship. This continued until the 1987 World Rally Championship. [...]

I think they still have them. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10551093

Thanks for pointing this out! I opened it this morning, and sure enough ... this is the equivalent of Wehrmacht models with Swastikas, the manufacturers have a technical go-around by breaking the logos apart, requiring assembly. The package says "... including photo etched parts, cloth seat belt webbing and more." The decal is behind the p-e upside-down. Am I going to get banned from this forum for daring to post cigarette logos?

I hope they do a Toyota Pious.

He is doing a fab job considering what you wrote. Wouldn't spraying the inside flat black help? I do that with all my builds anyway.

My town got the reputation as the drug rehab capital of the country. People were taking advantage of lax zoning regulations, buying homes and then packing a dozen guys into it, calling it rehab homes. They would shuttle all these guys (might have been some women) somewhere for rehabbing. The success rate sucked, maybe 10% success rate at best. So many would blow it off, get kicked out, then end up on our streets. People with these houses were making bank, didn't care if it was helping the addicts. Been told that most of the sirens we hear, are going to drug overdose calls. It got so bad, citizens forced the City to do something, and our Representatives had to pass a law to restrict this. Meanwhile, the (fill in the blank, you know who I mean) rights activists, using the Fair Housing laws, have been fighting to keep allowing this BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH to happen. Also watched an old man who took advantage of my wife's dad, lived for free in the basement for 22 months, didn't believe her after her dad died, that he was going to get evicted. The Constable showed up, he didn't have anything packed, this after two Court hearings. He was hippie druggie, smoked pot all the time. It's all about them, being the victim. Sorry to hear about this. You can help, but don't expect it to work out. Sad state of affairs. And I thought being a model stash hoarder was an addiction.

Very well executed! Nice to see a station wagon too.

Received mine today! I'll do a quick comparison to the Profil24 resin kit: I got the photo-etch parts at a IPMS contest last week. There are some obvious differences, will need to compare to photos to see how inaccurate the resin kit is. I got the guillotine window detail for the Profil because they only supply a decal for that, the Beemax is molded in. I also got the Renaissance wheel/tires because a proper rally car has treaded tires! The Beemax seats look better (how accurate I don't know). Dashboard looks a lot different. The chassis pans are really different, and it does not look like they plan to have an engine option, and there is no radiator pipe like the Profil. There is a separate exhaust pipe (when you watch videos, why is there waste gate flames under the car?). The Beemax body has an obvious flash line on the C-pillar, but that should be an easy fix. The hoods are very different. The decals seem to be comparable, will need to study more to determine who wins. The Beemax lights are so much better, difference is day and night! I'm planning to get the Bobby Unser decals to do his Pikes Peak Hillclimb car.

Received from Japan, the long awaited Audi Sport Quattro. Will post more pictures in the dedicated topic.
