Bill Eh?

WOW! Really like this Skyline a lot. Like all of your Calsonic liveried cars.

My thought echo those of others who have already posted. Love your work. This trio of RX-7s is amazing. Really like the flip-flop (rootbeer ?) colored car. Please keep posting. I'm one of your many 'northern' fans.

Great to see you back. I still remember the absolutely amazing C5R that you completed.

The wheels look great Frank. You have a good eye for design.

I just checked eBay. The seller in question, I believe is top-rank-records. He has 39 listings related to the Datsun 510, one of which is for the instructions. 37 of the listings are at $3.00. The chassis and tire auctions are at $8.00. If one person were to buy each of these items, excluding shipping, it would amount to $127, not $200. I would think that, that is not top-rank-records' intention. I would assume that they are appealing to individuals who, for whatever reason, need a part replaced. I know that Revell is generous, maybe too much so, in that with the proper documentation, they will send out replacement parts. In my thinking, I would only use this service, if something was wrong with a kit part that was Revell's fault. If it was my own fault because I lost it, or wrecked it in the build process, then why should it be on Revell's dime. Remember, this is just my opinion and how I feel about it. LOL By listing these Datsun 510 parts, top-rank-records is offering a less costly alternative to buying another kit, for people who think the same way I do. Just another way to look at the situation.

Thank yo Bill! I call it paper, but is thin cardboard, this one is from a USP envelope, the A4 size. I use Super glue to glue all together. Thanks Fabrizio.

Fabrizio, what a great start on another eclectic adventure. When you say the body is paper, would that be some sort of card stock? What do you use to glue it together, white PVA school glue? Thanks for posting another fascinating project.

This looks like a great "slump-buster" style of kit. Much more detailed than the 2015 Mustang Easy Kit. I know it is more expensive, but I think Revell has over-simplified their entry level kits. I like the way they have the separate door inserts on the chrome sprue.

I went through most of the thread. I'm a teacher, not a mechanic, so my knowledege is very limited. To me though, it sure looks like he has put a lot of effort into optimizing his Pantera.

See Fumi's post, #25

As always Krishna, your models are always super cleanly built. This one is no exception. When ever I see a new post of yours, I am intrigued by the variety of subject matter that you undertake.

With that graphic scheme, it must be one of the Fujimi kits, Exceedingly well done Robert. All of those graphics to apply as decals ... I shudder even thinking about it. This is one to be very proud of. You sure have come a long way since I first started following your work on Automotive Forums.

Hopefully, less than I am willing to pay for it!

Byron, Tamiya does not make a 1/24 kit of the F430. They only make a 1/10 RC version.

Dale, would I be correct in assuming that you shot the paint through an airbrush? Fantastic paint finish.

Robert, is it the Revell kit?

I went to revell.com This is what I found out. The windshield part number is in fact 130. However, the kit part number is referred to as 2811, not 8511. I don't know if this could make any difference Mike, but it could be worth a try.

Great work on the interior. I'm really impressed with the cage. It looks like you took your time with the cage tube joints, instead of just but-joining plastic rod together.

One of the best liveries from the Tamiya 956 stable. Outstanding work.

Love it! Please, do you have any more pictures?

Hey redrod99, I also have Fred Stern's website bookmarked. I was going to give you an update, but apparently you have not read the rules that apply when you sign on to this forum.

Thanks Randy for your reply. I have never adjusted the ride height before. I will have to give it a try for my built.

A great build up of this model. Details under the hood look awesome. A few questions if you don't mind ... Do you have any chassis pics? Did you adjust the ride height? How did you do the lettering on the intake plenum? School bus yellow looks great. I think I will try one in Gotta Have It Green.
