here is my new build,its a 1:25 mpc erlt charger 500.bought three of these same kits so thought i would make a start.not much to show,just got the body all smoothed and sanded off the raised lettering.i will be adding photo etch at some point.......when i can find something suitable for this car. OK done lots of wet'n'dry sanding between coats.three coats of primer,four coats of Audi aluminium silver and four coats of HOT lacquer.then wet'n'dry between each coat of primer,paint,lacquer. then lots,and lots of mer car wax......then polish,polish,polish!!!!!.....thats all for now hope you like. thanks, rich

OK done a little more to my camaro. i have made a new prop shaft tunnel out of plastic card,and this will be painted to look like aluminum sheet when the rest of the interior is complete. also made a new CB wire out of phone wire,and wrapped it around a small piece of brass rod,to get the curly effect. also added to pump action,and just got to make a bracket for that. the dash isn't gloss black,its semi gloss.it was the flash from the camera......but this will be dulled down once some weathering takes place. thats all for now,hope you like,comments welcome. thanks, rich

it may have been discused here before?......but where would i find the correct rear wheels for the mad max interceptor from mad max 2.they are diffrent from what was fitted to the interceptor in the first mad max. ill try and find some pics later,and post them up. thanks, rich

I would love one of these kits.after watching the films matrix and California and seeing this build.then it's must kit to have in my stash.

Thanks stu

Beautiful car!!.....I'm reading the thread,but can't see in anywhere.what make of car is it? Thanks, Rich

Cheers ryan.you wouldn't have any paint numbers would you? But thanks for sharing your techniques with me. Thanks, Rich

Ah yes please rob!!....that would be cool.the wheels will look cool in black on my 69 camaro. Thanks, Rich

What colour paint did you use on the nitros bottle? Thanks, Rich

are they the wheels that came with the kit?.....or are they after market? the reaision im asking is because when i googled this car the wheels look slightly diffrent to the ones used on your model. and the ones pictured with the kit on the box art,are the ones im after for my camaro Z/28 police car. thanks, rich ps,relly nice model btw.

Yep scratch built it is!!....go to the "on the bench" section,and look at my camaro Z/28 police car rs.i made some rear window things for that.i also have some kit one's from the old revell chevy van and trailer with buggy.that went onto the back doors,these could be made to fit side windows?......if you want them pm me,and I'll post you some pics. Rich

Stunning!!...luv it allot. Rich

But the parts can be used thoe?.....with a little tinkering? Or would parts from a Bigfoot monster truck be more suited? I'm not that clued up much on 4x4s so any info is all helpful. Sorry to nick your thread Rodney. Rich

Thanks Geoff,yeah seen it;-) Thanks, Rich

i wanted to get the right colour paints from testors for my fords and Chevrolet model car engines.but as like everything else,I can't get or find anyone in the UK that stocks testors paints. So what other make of paints can i use?.......like humbrol,revell ect. Any help and advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Rich

Can anyone tell me if there are any roll cages available for the 69 camaro rs Z/28. Thanks, Rich

could the axle and suspension from the chevy "mad mudder" pick up go on the the 92 ford pick up? rich

brutal!....yeah i like it.hope so anyway,im trying to make it look diffrent in a way,but still showing its a good old classic mucle car.

Lol....thanks Rob.sorry the explanation is a bit vague,but I'll just explain as and if questions get asked. Well I wanted to make a sort of rogue menacing cop car.so I thought a camaro would be a suitable car choice,and The fact I have about seven of these kits. There is going to plenty more modifactions done to the car,and hopefully get some weathering done to it aswell. Still undecided on the wheels.the one's in the last couple of pics,I've took from my joker/police car kit.but not sure if they work? So I'm looking for somthing more suitable if anyone can suggest wheels for the camaro. Thanks, Rich

some pics,showing a little more progress.car body has now been painted with a semigloss dark grey,as i wanted i stealth look to the car.hopefully will add more pics soon. thanks, rich

ok here are some more pics,hopefully!!.......ive decided to remove the stock fuel tank,card it over with added brass rivets.and add a 1:24 truck water tank and add a few little bits,to make it into a bigger fuel tank.which ive wanted to mount it into the rear seat section,which also has been modified slightly with brass chequer plating,plastruct angle strip and more brass bolt heads.this is to make a renforce floor to hold the weight of the newe fuel tanks. thats all for now,hope you like.comments welcome. rich

Thanks Jose,just ordered a load;-) and true.wallmart needs to come to England,cause they seem To sell everything!!!............great for you over the pond.

Oh!...that's me stuffed then.we don't have a wallmart here in the UK.

Thanks man!!......i can still make spelling mistakes then?;-) Rich
