Thank you Carl! Thank you Craig!

If you have a vacuform, it would make thing easyer. Even a small vacuform, would works, you can cut the buck in two. You can make one molding buck that can be use both side. Maybe 1/2 in. thick. To define the end or inside of the frame you can carve a channel all around, or add a strip of stirene if you prefer to work with a positive. Doing so, will make it easy when you cut the excess of plastic, and give you a guid to cut it straight. You can also add some small holes along the channel or stirene. Will help the stirene taking shape.

Thank you Larry!

Fun part of been homeowner! Welcome to the club! Nice! They could be challenging to build, mostly because of the size. I use ove 30ft of tape to make all the stripes... But in the other hands, the parts are big and are esy to work. Altough, you see a lot of things and so you can spend a good amount on adding details. THe plastic also could be brittle and snap. When I bought the Pace car, I bought also the regular IROC, but newer got around to build it. Mostly because the 1/1 my brother have has T-Top, so you need to modify it right away. Can wait to see you Camaro taking shape! Sweet ride! My brother has a '85 IROC, and I have the few kit in 1/24 and 1/8 to build, but never get around to do so. You need to think that these 1/8 scale kit came out in the 80's, so details and parts ware from that eara. Now It would be super hard to sell.

Thank you James! Thank you Scot! Thank you Donato! The only thing is little weird is how they design the plastic around the fog lights. Thank you Les! Thank you Michelle! Thank you David! Probably I should build a R34 now... Thank you Luke! Thank you Roger! Than kyou Bob!!!

This was a fun fast kit to build. I wanted to make a Fast and Furious tribute car inspired from the R34 used on the second movie. The decals are for the R34 but fit great on this body. Last I added some led to simulate teh neon that was under the movie car. I was not sure of the result after painting the body, I mean, the Nismo had different part of carbon fiber exposed. Like the center of the grille/bumper, the bottom spoiler and the plastic cover where the parking lights are. Maybe the car look "mean" with this parts black, but also paintent is not bad at all. Even the side skirts paint and the side air vent. I think they make the car cleaner. Anyway was fun to build it, and I'm happy with the result. THe kit came with a cardboard base to display it. To make it stronger I cut to size a piece of mdf for the base.

The decals are from USCP - Ukranian Scale Cars Product. They are made for the R34 Skyline, but works perfect for this body style too. Thanks Luke!

That's sad news. But you have a good spirity and will find a way to keep building! This hobby expose you to a lot of chemical, even some that we thingk ara "safe" like CA glue, could make reaction down the line. In the instruction I saw 3D printed 6 cyl engine, 3D printed parts are safe for your situation? After cured, but I'm not sure before. Can you use Pledge, if so it is a good sealing after paint job is completed. Maybe also you can get one color decals sheet and cover the body of the car, instead of painting it.

I want to make a Fast and Furious tribute car. Here the body painted. Next post will be "under Glass". Cheers

Next decals and the car is completed. I'm doing a tribute car. Snap kit are fun to build, these Aoshima are great to build, the quality is impeccable and they offer different decals, water and sticker. No paint required, but you can spray some glossy clear to make them pop even more. Another thing is the quality of the plastic, no marks etc, that why you can build them literally out of the box. And have a great result. I painted the interior because I'm making a tribute car.

The new interior and wheels are painted chrome.

Aoshima R35 Nissan GT-R Nismo, Special Edition 2022. Finally there is s a kit of this iconic Japanese car. The quality and the kit is always top noch. I like that the body is in Nismo grey. in the box two sets of decals, and a display to show the car. The GT-R in this kit replicate the most powerful GT-R made, with 600Hp and 481lb-ft of torque. The engine is a 3.8 liter twin turbo attached to a 6 speed dual clutch transmission, and to put on the ground all that power is set on four 20in wheels, and all wheel drive. I start to build it stock, but after I changed my mind. I very rare that I change my mind during a build. but I did it... Here the stock interior and underchassis.

I think both scale demand some skills and knoweledgeable and for sure money. A family friend was into RC aircraft, he was building a Corsair, a winter project. He finish it during the spring, and went out to test it. Everything was fine, until one moment, that for some misterous reason he couldn't control the plane, were it flu into a tree... From the pieces left, was difficul to find what happen. Immagine the frustration. The positive thing is that it didn't stop him to follow his hobby, in fact at some point he built a F-14 jet power RC. That was impressive to see fly. Thank you Donald! She is coming along slowly slowly, I'm building some cars too. Thanks Joe!

I just finish another project (car) and I had time to build the flaps for the F6F.

Never say never Don! 😃 I play MS flight sim for a while too, but not very good a it. Prefer play with cars. Thanks! I did some welding on some part of the structure, just to make it more sturdy. Looking a the data on the display, it looks like stainless steel. Thanks Thanks Bob!
