I'm still new to this forum, so am trying to catch up. I have learned to get what I like when I see it, don't even wait a day to order. Been finding out that if a website shows the kit is available, but when you order, then you find out they need to order from the maker. I'm into weird subjects, so finding whatever is even more difficult. I'm also doing well enough with work that I'm splurging to reward myself. The cost may seem ridiculous, but if you haven't done scratch-building, or tried casting, or limited mass production, marketing, getting boxes, preparing to ship, dealing with flakes, then you just don't appreciate what is available. This is something I got last century, when I looked through a flyer distributed at a model contest, and saw this baby, I didn't eat for a week. I'm really glad I did, because I never see it anywhere! Now the question is, would it be sacrilegious to put theoretical sponsorship logos on this r&d unique, Mini Exotics Chaparral 2J "Sucker Car"?

Since I got the Model Car Garage photo-etch detail for the MINI, knowing it was intended for the Revell kit, I wanted to see who has reviewed it. Apparently not many have, most searched posts are for the original classic, not the BMW MINI. I built the Fujimi kit of the "One" version, the plain base model (obviously modified). Compared to the photos above, would say the Revell headlights are horrible! Is the Revell LHD? I noticed the Fujimi had four indents underneath the cowl for the wipers, like there is a LHD version, but I had to modify mine from RHD.

rumbling about details

I'm learning stuff here, so keep up repeating yourselves! As Richard said, Model Master gums up even when wet sanding, and takes forever to cure.

I built this several years ago. It went together good enough. One of the flag decals is printed reverse, does not match the shape of the plastic. This is one of the few models I built box stock. The one piece track/wheels drives me nuts, would kit bash a real tank or halftrack set if I ever did this again.

Thanks, good to know regarding pictures. I'm waiting with baited breath for the Beemax kit. Spot Model says it will be a really nice kit.

Well, based on the vague topic title, was going to say that when I had MINI Coopers, I was lucky to get a year out of a set of tires. Can't imagine why. After reading above comments, I see the issue is how long without driving the heck out of them. My '69 Chevy pickup has Khumo tires that have not been produced for awhile, receipt shows installed 1998, so 19 years. When I had a '57 Chevy wagon, I had brand new Goodyear tires, and had a front blow out at speed limit on a two lane, it was scary enough to never touch that brand again. So I would say what brand, if outside the whole time, etc.

Did not see that anyone has shown this particular Audi Quattro kit, which is a low volume resin kit made in France. It represents the pinnacle of the Group B rally cars, infamously called Killer B due to extreme performance mixed with stupid spectators standing on the edge of the roads. I'm planning to build Walter Roehrl's car, with appropriate "weathering". This model has the engine, some other kits do not. I am going to use the Facebook embed method, since I've noticed old posts using photo hosting sites are now useless, and I don't want to use up my allotted space on this forum. I have basic descriptions on each of my photos. (if this does not work, please let me know)

Excellent concept and execution! I love the Arizona license plate!!

I'm glad you posted this tip. I noticed that too, so I learned something today. This is a very well done model! I love the color too, seems like turquoise wasn't invented until 1955. I have this kit too, looks very nice for an AMT, and yours is done!

That must have been a fun project! The real car is very imaginative, so understand why you had to do this, congrats! I have the Monogram, and Revell kits, but my plan is to do a real wagon, not a Nomad.
