  1. Would switching to a smaller diameter tubing help? What comes with the kit looks a little large?
  2. Ya' I need one too! Very nice work. I love the paint job.
  3. If you took the gloss off the tires and sanded the tread it would go a long way.
  4. If you don't want to spend the money for a Japanese kit, they are fine. Not as much detail, but that a matter of personal preference.
  5. Color looks good to me. I saw one at the vintage races at Sonoma, it's real close. Not nearly that shiney.
  6. Nope, tried it once. Didn't work. Kind of like trying to finish something, that didn't work either.
  7. Good looking so far! I love this kit, so I'll be following your build.
  8. Hey, it looks great. You've amazing work with a kit that is pretty much junk. They used to say IMC meant "impossible model car". Keep me posted it looks great.
  9. I have been working on one for about a year. The plastic is very fragile and I have had to scratch build several pcs. that crumbled. Also the fit is horrible, test fit eveything before you paint. You will need to fill the door, bonnet, and boot gaps with strip styrene to get them to look decent. Good luck and don't get discouraged. PM me if you have any questions.
  10. It turned out very well, hope to see more.
  11. Interesting color for a Ferrari! What is that?
  12. Yes, it reall ydoes look real! Great work.
  13. I would have to see a picture of him signing it, then I still wouldn't buy it. It's kind of a silly deal!
  14. Boy, can I use this tip, much better than the way I was doing it. Thanks!

    Wow, a great build on a little Fiat. It is good to see some different race car being done. Thanks foir sharing.
  16. Add me to list of people excited about this build. I have 2 of those AM McLaren kits in my pile.
  17. Looks great so far. Keep us posted, I'll be following this one.
  18. Some people don't like Tam-ee-ya because they don't do DOH kits.
  19. Nice job! If I were starting over i wouls do this scale. I'm running out of room.
  20. I'm in awe of this one. I like how you worked your way thru the problems with the kit. A wonderful British build.
  21. Excellent work, one of my favorite italian cars. I ,for one, love the color.
  22. Very interesting color scheme! I like the carbon fiber accents under the hood. Did these come in the kit?
  23. The devil is in the details, great job. Might try that one myself. Any pics of the engine?
  24. Outstanding!! I love old '50's stock cars. Keep up the good work.
