This is a in progress kit review of the Similar Ford Focus. This kit so far is junk. Pitfalls around evey corner. At the price point it is offered at, the kit should be much better. The designers should buy a Tamiya kit, study it, then design a kit like it. This kit is for moddler with better than average building skills First the pro's New kit for people that dont get the 1932 ford focus thing. PE kits avaliable from studio27 Cartograph decal sheet Door can be open or closed Window mask PE parts included in kit Cons Kit cost 75 bucks. Tons of flash, ejector pin marks and tooling marks on parts. Poor location on sprue to part connections. They put the connection in the most visual and thinnest area of the part. Very little detail and that detail is covered by the cars skid plates. Poor parts fit. Doors must be open or closed. They are not hinged. What could be done to make it better. Nix the open/closed door thing and open the hood. It is a fricken race car. show the engine bay. Could have reduced the parts covered by the skid plates, hide ejector pins and put sprue to part connections in hidden spot.

I cut a small X in the lid of a condiment cup from a fast food restaurant stick a straw in the X and spray away. Bendable straws work better. After the propellent boils off you can cap it with a fresh lid. I poke a small hole in the lid when i go to use the paint in case pressure has built up inside the cup http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13/lanesteele240/79D4FD8D-75AE-43FC-9102-85A43F21B72C-425-0000005A0A68A834.jpg These cups would work well to store small items, mix down paint or washes, store weahtering powders and so on

Anybody know how to upload photos with an iphone

Dont try to church it up sun, your name is dirt. I got a name for that car, Rusty. It'll buff out

I am building the focus wrc in ken block livery. This kit sucks. It would be over priced at 40 bucks. Wait 2 or 3 years and yo will be able to buy it off ebay. I am going to cronical my head aches in the on the work bench

What is a spc fourm

I am going to NY City on vacation next week an i was thinking of checking out some model shops in the area. Any one know of a good one in a safe area that i should check out. Thanks

hello. just to let you know you have the greatest club in the world in Manchester. It is called Manchester United Football Club.

time for a 378,345 point turn!!!!

i love how this tread went thanks wheelman

i need a sheet of goodies (oil filter, blower belt, engine detail and such. i checked slixx and i did not see one. they had nascar sheet but i did not see one for drag cars

i use Alclad gloss black and alclad chrome. if tape gets anywhere near it, it comes off. what am i doing wrong?

i should do a build of all the Police cars that i sat in the back seat

As if the summer time activities have not taken from my modeling, now my winter will be stolen away with the release of this game

sweet maybe by then Ferrari might have their act together

you could use some temporary tattoos out of the vending machine. just wet and remove the paper just like you would put on your kid. then future over it

these are my son's Pinewood derby cars. i posted them here because i think they are models. if you have some speed tips then share. if you need them i will share. that is if it is ok of course. this one is for the Cub Scout council race. the one in the center is the car he raced at a church event and the one on the far end is a 1:24 that i built thanks for looking

I use the tamiya tape because it is not as thick as painters tape. it is thinner than auto body tape which i use when appearance does not matter. if the tape is to thick the paint will build up real thick where the tape joint is. if possible, don't spray towards the tape. if you do, paint just fills in the area at the tape line and makes a radius and a very thick step from the top paint to the bottom paint. this could cause the paint to come off when removing the tape. also tear you tape off at an angle. it helps on 1:1 paint jobs so i do it on my models too.

if you want to clear coat over acrylic with a lacquer just spray on a good coat of future foor wax first. you need to spray future over water slide decals to stop the lacquer clear from melting the decal to.

we had one of those van truck things when i was a kid. man did i get picked at

I pity the fool that dont like this build

my Lord. is that a sega game in the background. my video games take time form my models. but after i play them i have nothing to show for the time i spent your models look great
