Nice work. ๐๐ป Good colour choice and the detail painting of the hubcaps really adds to the visual appeal. Top stuff.

Beautiful build of the R32, a car that dominated the Australian touring car championship in the early 90โs. Quality work there Kaci. ๐๐ป

1/48 Hasegawa Warhawk P40E

The American volunteer group, AKA the Flying Tigers were probably the most famous operators of the P40. I have a P40B kit in the stash that has the markings for the plane flown by Robert T Smith, a Flying Tiger ace. Cheers, Stuart. ๐๐ป -
I love 240Zโs. Count me in on this one.๐๐ป

Gโday all, I recently felt the need to build something with wings again. The P40 is probably my favourite WW2 plane. This one was flown by George Preddy when he was a young pilot stationed in Darwin in Australia in 1942. Preddy was flying this plane on a training flight when he was involved in a mid air collision with another P 40, Preddy managed to bail out, unfortunately the other pilot, Lieutenant Sauber was killed in the incident. Upon his recovery, Preddy was sent back to the US. He went on to become one of the USAAFโs highest scoring aces flying P51 Mustangs. The multi piece fuselage makes this kit somewhat challenging, but a bit of time filling gaps and rescribing panel lines makes for a nice accurate looking P40. Thanks for looking. ๐๐ป

Gโday Bob, Iโve wanted to try this technique on badges for some time but have been a bit hesitant. Keen to see how you do. ๐๐ป

Thereโs solid proof right there that these DDA kits build up very nicely. Razor sharp foil work and glass like paint are just two things I like about this HQ. Excellent work Luke,๐๐ป thatโs inspired me to try and get more bench time and crack on with my HQ. Also mate, any idea what happened to the original car that inspired this build?

Gโday Michelle. Looks great, nicely detailed wheels, ( l struggle with this ). The heavy flake in the paint is kinda period correct as l remember going to custom panel van shows in the late 70โs and buying all the car magazines and this paint was very popular then. ๐๐ป

Crisply built and glassy white paint makes this vette stand out for me. Top stuff . ๐๐ป

Gโday Luke, awesome work on this one, superb! ๐๐ป Got me thinking of trying out SMS colour shift paint on a Tamiya R33 l have in the stash.

From this mock up, you can already tell that this is going to be a stunner.

1972 Ford F100 "Iron Man"
STU111 replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I love this! If l could go to my garage and have a 1/1 version of this truck parked there, Iโd be a happy man. Top looking build. ๐๐ป -
Gโday Bob. Iโm a little late to this one, but man, this looks like itโs going to be wild when finished. Iโm in. ๐๐ป

RIP Ozzy. A true legend of Rock and Roll. The Grandfather of heavy metal, he had the talent and lived the rock star life to the fullest. Thank you for the music.

Gโday Luke, this is looking great. Iโll be checking in on your progress on it. Iโm still chipping away at my HQ build.

1926 RANCHERO: What if Henry greenlighted the Ranchero in 1926?
STU111 replied to Claude Thibodeau's topic in Model Cars
Gโday Claude, as Iโve said before, looking at your builds is like walking through a high end custom car show, and this latest addition is certainly a stunner. ๐๐ป The stripped down engine block in the tray is a great touch. -
Thatโs a great build of one of the wilder looking muscle Mopars. Top stuff. ๐๐ป

If you were driving to San Jose with a little too much of a lead foot, you would probably see this in your rear view mirror! Excellent build of an interesting subject. ๐๐ปNice job.
