Halfords primer is very good vaule and available in grey , white, red or black. Great quality primer.(avoid the "Plastic" primer they sell as that's only suitable for car bumpers combination of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) called PC/ABS) not styrene. Large can 500ml or smaller can at 300ml. Forunately Halfords are still trading in ireland (post brexit) and close to me in Cork city on my ruote home from work.

If your interested I can help you with sources for different elements for this build. I'm in the process of looking to purchase decals for this escort and will let you know if theyre ready and available. we've a good group on FB , Classic Hot Rod Models All Scales. Go onthere for some Hotrod specific help if you want.

I concur with David Bantoft 100% Stumbled accross this while doing an image search and noticed that The model sits perfectly.

It'll be available soon.... Hopefully https://www.hiroboy.com/124_Ford_Capri_Mk1_RS2600_Walter_Rohrl_Preview--product--12643.html

cool looking Porsche . For me it'd be less camber and more RWB

For Rhodes that don't or cannot comprehend the idea of multiple purchases., there's a variety of benefits. Models usually gain value with age as their availabliliy becomes scarce. Once the production run stops. You buy what interests you at a particular time with the view to build and store it until ihe time is right. These wretched Hoarders are the guys you often buy that rare kit off at swap meets. I really wonder about the intelligence or lack of it some people. This is a basic thread making what should be regarded as a normal enough conversational topic between modelers. Leave the negative Judgment at the door

Don't defend yourself. It's a logical enough question and if you regard a forum as a social meeting place to discuss model it's bang on. It's a similar question to sjow us your work aera. here's some on my inventory..some I might add.

heads up Danny, there are plenty here who insight with the comments which you've reacted to.. Be strong and ignore. you(we) with logic are seroiusly out numbered here . Peugeot, Renault, Citroen,Simca, Talbot . have all had success in a variety of motorsport. They share a few common trates, Comfortable. economical,style. they're dwon fall especially in the last 15 years (Simca, Talbot exempt) is electrical/electronics ceasing the opportunity to lambaste east Geman or eastern european / Russian cars is due to the economic climate and standards they were constructed in. My choice is the Austin Allegro this car epitomised the final nail in the coffin of so many British build..BMC. cars. in the late 70-80's A combination of poor build quality,poor economy shocking road holding and no motorsport success.

3 series is a nice looking model

Brilliant work . excellent time and effort in the machining of the engine , Especially considering it's all manual work. Personal thanks for all the stage by stage photo's Ballast maybe required on the oppsite end..?> possibly.

Cool looking Mustang

Nice looking Zakspeed Mk2 escort . this kit I believe

Box art looks good. Shame the interior is a let down. One of my childhood favourites mitsubishi sapporo

R.I.P.

personally I'd do a standard road car in. Signal Green 77 there's a company in Germany that do an excellent RS 4 spoke.(seperate wheel and tyre) that'll PM you details of. Nice project. Goodluck

Nice clean looking build.

the engine is the TAMIYA kit show here is a V6 colonge. But if you substitute the engine from 1/24 1985 Ford SVO Mustang you'll be well on the way to an accurate road version

wow... just wow Sometimes I regret sharing my knowledge.

I'd review our current model stock and insist that a sample of 5 be built OOB. by board members. Allowing a week to build 1 one the 5 selected during company hours. They would be asked to identify the Feedback on their findings. Commission an experenced model builder to discuss same. This would make these people directly aware of the flaws that are present in current products. Set a task schedule to remidy these defects with 3 months with the tooling supplier naturally discussing design aspects. Insist that all future products recieve this pre production Proofing method. Set a design program in place to eleminate the use of tab gates on some items and look at the use of submarine gates on wheels and chrome parts especially. Open a customer feedback program via "Model brand insert here" Forum on our products with a 15% shelf price discount to be offered .

what ?>? freedom of expression

no offence Shane but that's the worst looking DeLorean I've seen. Looks l,ike a bad kit car IMO

Years can be spent looking for reference material , depending on your urgency or priority (could be on going while you build other model topics) How you archive the material is vital. make a " new" folder in Photobucket for each project, within that folder a model reference material and futher folder for WIP.

Nice build OOB build with orignal looking colour scheme.

The bit soon after ... You've gone throught he instuctions and sprues, identified the flaws ......followed by a plan that's as far form OOB . Then start listing what needs to be corrected a needed to build a decent looking model. pack it back into the box.. NEXT...........
