  1. Wow that DeAg E-type is stunning! I wish it came in a LHD version that I could build to match my 1:1.
  2. One of the first things I do when starting another build is check the OTB stance. I’ll assemble enough of the chassis and suspension and temporarily assemble all four wheels on it and then I’ll inspect it for a few minutes at eye level. If necessary I’ll do the extra work up front to adapt different wheels and tires and or correct anything that doesn’t look right to me. Once I’m happy with it I’ll leave it out on the bench for a few days while I do the same thing to another build. I’ve had half a dozen mock ups sitting on the bench at one time between builds. Just sitting and looking at a group of different kits mocked up and sitting out keeps me motivated.
  3. Hmm, I wonder if a Molotow pen might work in it.
  4. I think the newest Revell 1/25 kit is probably the next best thing to a nonexistent Tamiya level kit. Other than that the ancient Monogram now Revell 1/8 scale kit is your only other choice.
  5. Thanks again to everyone for all your likes and kind comments. Since this is the alpha Z, be sure to stay tuned for the Omega!
  6. Thanks Steve! All the window trim are separate chrome plated parts that fit incredibly. A little Tamiya panel line accent is all they need to really pop!
