I add a wash of Tamiyas' Smoke X19 to what you are already doing.

Nice collection of Cheetahs. I'd never heard of the George Turner kit. Looks a treat. The Modelhaus Cheetah is 1/24 scale and based on the old Cox slot car racer. http://www.modelhaus.com/index.php?c=4174&p=63800 I've got one here and while its very basic, and even a bit crude in detail, it has plenty of potential and will build up in to a decent replica.

I can see a lot of work has gone in to this one. Well done.

If you saw that in the rear view mirror you'd move side. Very creative and well done.

This one is Monograms 1/24 Hot Shot Midget Racer. I've read where this was originally released in 1965 both as a static kit and a slot car. It would have been a very delicate slot car but this very simple static kit built up easily without any issues. My kit was built from the mid 90s reissue.

As one who endured an 11 month wait for a part off Strada with out a shred of communication I for one do agree.

That is looking sharp as a tack. This looks like its a must have.

That finish looks amazing. Alclad make a water based gloss that they call Aqua Gloss #ALC 600. It may be another option to consider.

Real eye candy. Love it.

That looks like a serious Cuda. Well done

Its a C1 Models trans kit that uses Tamiyas' GT2 kit as the base. i have made some mods to the body and made up my own wheels to try and make it look more buxom. I know what you mean about the weird names that are attached to these cars.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm watching it tonight.

Red, Chrome and Whitewalls. Thats real eye candy. Perfect

Looks just right. Well done

I've just got a coat of primer over my Rauh Welt.

There is a lot of detail in that. Looks like a scene from a B grade movie. Congrats for thinking out of the circle and building something unique

Thats a good selection of varying subjects and all are very clean builds. Looking forward to seeing more of your work

Welcome neighbour

Thanks for the heads up on the release date Peter. I knew i'd seen a article on the old 40 Ford kits and found it this evening in the August 1990 issue of SAE page 36 ' Model Car Chronicles by Tim Boyd. Thirty years of 40 Ford Kits.' Its a in depth look at the history of the old 40 Ford kits These kits have stood the test of time well and must have paid for the cost of tooling many times over.

My idea with this one was to make a shop truck that was a work in progress with a lightly weathered primer paint job but a interior that was finished. The engine is out of a Revell stock car and the rear end from the Revell 32. Revell Orange Crate wheels with big and little white walls from Tweety Pie. I machined up a few knick knaks and added various P/E bits from Model Car Garage. Apart from a few fiddly bits this kit builds up without any major drama and for a kit originally from the 80s I believe ?, it still holds up well.

Thats come together very nicely. Well done. I'm just finishing up my own version of this classic Revell kit. This kit must be decades old now but still holds up well to current offerings.

I've always bought them from Mega Hobby http://www.megahobby.com/search.aspx?find=pegasus+rims

Fisher Kits have really jumped in price recently That one cost me under $100 only a couple of years back http://www.mcssl.com/store/fishermodels/automobile-kits

I would be trying your combination of paints out on a plastic spoon before committing to painting the model.

This reminds me of the time I got a Photo Etch Fret off Model Car Garage and was charged $20 for international postage. It arrived in a envelope with a $2 stamp on it.
