  1. Pretty sure an injected kit of T will not be done. The work it takes to design, test and complete a new 1/25 scale car tool is massive......a job that takes 4-5 people with LOTS of specialized talent......which this guy does not have. Kinda doubt a 3D printed kit will ever appear. I have worked in the model kit biz from retail, aftermarket, manufacture and design levels. I also produced a number of full resin car kits. It's more work than most know.
  2. I do a number of decals for model racing 510's.......we raced a real one in the SCCA series 1980's.
  3. This one???? Bit of a long boring story......I'll keep it as short as I can. Back in the day when Beer Wagon came out I wanted it so bad....but didn't have the $1.24 K Mart wanted. So I went home and got into Dad's balsa supply and made my own. It was pretty bad but I wish I had it today. I junked it when I got the plastic kit. Anyway......Beer Wagon is one of my favorite kits......I want to build a 'new' version. This is what I ended up with A COE Beer Wagon. It started with a Beer Wagon kit bashed into the COE with a new bed. I made the decals....wanted it to look like it could have been...... Thanks
  4. Thanks guys.....I'll pass it on. My buddy is one of the best unknown builders. He builds for some very famous folks you'd never think collect models.
  5. Not mine.....my best bud's build. He builds on commission so most times he doesn't show his work. But said OK to show his 'High wide and hansom' I have a few....but mine are VERY different!
  6. That's a really nice build. Shows what CAN be done with those old snappers!! The detailing and weathering perfect. I had to build one 100% box stock for a retailer. I enjoyed the build......but doesn't look as good as yours.
  7. On the water....... Other versions????? Maybe??? Buy up this run in record time and see.........
  8. Chuck has it right. My four kits match his description.
  9. A 603-2 was in Lemony Snickets.....cool....
  10. Agreed.......I've foiled parts with less definition before.....
  11. Good start....I like the kit....built 2 so far!
  12. I bought one about 15 years ago. It's not resin but a very fine fiberglass, common in AUS back in the day. Just a body and bumpers.....soft detail...but only option I ever saw. BTW.....saw Mad Max Fury for the 4th time Monday.
  13. Let us know what changes are needed to the instructions.....I have one in the stash.
  14. Thanks! Today there are nice resin kits of all the MFP cars including the 'night rider's' car and other MFP cars......been tempted to get them.
  15. I have one....been on the to do list for years.......I like the bright yellow-green color. Will be watching!!!
  16. I like the 13" rims and the limits it forces......but I have not like F1 cars for years.....so little difference.
  17. Great subject matter......never heard of the company but the stuff looks great!!! I have about 10 Iratani 1/20 scale F1 cars to build.....but they are daunting.
  18. Drop Moebius a note asking......they do it with truck tires so they may look into it....they are GREAT parts!
  19. If you can't find a seller of that version....let me know.....I know the hook up!!!
  20. Far from perfect......but built in the VHS tape era with little reference. Thx
  21. Looks like he and his website are gone again....Thanks...I'll keep looking!
  22. Caddy's??? 33 FORD powered....built because my buddies said I couldn't build anything but race cars! Movie car....... Movie star car.....
