Good day, friends. I am sharing the latest builded model. My first Heller, but unfortunately not the last. I want to add a few more models from them to my collection. What can I say about the kit itself, it is terrible, really terrible. I would not recommend it to anyone. In my modeling memory, I have never assembled anything more terrible. Even the most old AMT/MPC would be better. The designations of the parts on the sprues and in the instructions do not match, the instructions themselves are not for beginners, uninformative. The only decals are license plates and a France sticker. Decals are some kind of darkness. They are so fragile that they break when trying to position them a little. There were 4 versions of license plates on the decal sheet, in the end I had only one left. The rest crumbled when I tried to align them evenly. After the final assembly, a couple of issues appeared that were not identified during subassembly. The set does not include glass headlights, the suspension parts look very bad out of the box. For some reason, there were a bunch of parts from their Citroen 2CV model left on the sprues. Oh well. I assembled it and forgot about it, like a bad dream. I painted it with paints from Mr. Color - regular orange, semi-gloss clear, metallic and black primer from them. From the modifications: headlights and glass in them from parts box, shock absorbers and their mount. Decal on the dashboard. Gas tank and its pipe, again from parts box. The hood cover treacherously does not fit into place, unfortunately, I discovered this only at the final stage, when everything was firmly glued with cyanoacrylate.

Good day, friends. The model is already built, but I have accumulated a few photos from the build process. Today on my desk is a 2005 Ford Shelby GT500 from Revell. Here is the box. In build I will use a photoetch kit from KA-models. But I will not use the whole set, but only some parts. Next come the sprues with the parts. I used the disc brake pads from this kit for my 1962 Impala convertible, so I have now found a photo-etched replacement for these parts. I also used the radiator grilles from the photoetch kit. Here's complete engine. Here's completed interior and undercarriage. Here's completed disc brakes and wheels. And finally completed model. More detailed photos will be available soon in the under glass topic. Thank you for your attention and have a nice day.

In the meantime, I was preparing and finishing parts for painting. The distributor is made from the remains of the sprue. I did not use the one that was in the set, because. it is very small and I could not drill 9 holes for the wires in it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. Undercarriage & engine - done.

Good afternoon friends. It's time to build another model. This time I chose this wonderful box from my collection. The gorgeous 1962 Chevy Bel Air 409. Here is the contents of the kit box: I will be very grateful if you can show me a photo of the car or car model with decals, like in my kit.

I could sell you if you are talking about tires made of two halves of plastic. But here is an incomprehensible moment with sending to you. I live in Belarus.
