    Tamiya LaFerrari and FXX-K came after the Fujimi F12. But only Alpha Models is doing resin curbside of certain Ferrari models such as the 488 Spider, 458 Spider Speciale. There are plans to do more, but they about $150 each.

    I have an Isetta I picked up last year at a very reasonable price. So, it has been available here in the USA. At 1/16 scale, you can actually SEE it
  3. Exotics_Builder
    If it would help, OK. But I already have the originals (albeit one in RoG boxing)
  4. Exotics_Builder
    Oh YES! I like your thinking!!
  5. Exotics_Builder
    Now that would be interesting to have back as a kit!!
  6. Exotics_Builder
    Are you referencing the kit in the lower left of this move box?
  7. Exotics_Builder
    Well, thus far, the Land Rover Series III is all that interests me. and, will have to know more before shelling out some cash.
  8. Exotics_Builder
    Perhaps!

    First arrival at the new address:

    If the wheels are what I think they are, they'd be in the Tamiya Mercedes AMG kits and some Fujimi kits. My stash is still mainly in boxes, so I don't have easy access to the wheels yet
  11. Exotics_Builder
    Will be interesting to see what is upcoming.
  12. Exotics_Builder
    Don't have the kit available as out of town, but here is a link to the instructions https://www.revell.com/out/media/85-4441.pdf

    Same here. Go back and try again and it works. Not frequent, but does happen
  14. Exotics_Builder
    Mine is still sitting in my Private Warehouse at HLJ, along with the Pagani Huayra Tempesta. Figure its better to ship to the new house than the old and put in on the moving van

    Was there not a unique exhaust ? Or was it on every v8 cuda?

    I have used the foam cradle for a model railroad engine (G scale if you can find it) for detailing work such as PE, decals and touch up. If needed, I will bolster with microfiber or other soft materials.

    Depends on how accurate you want to be. The GM A-Body was not fully boxed, some parts C-Channel. But, you could just say its beefed up
  18. Exotics_Builder
    In my case, I am planning a full detail by opening the hood and kit bashing with the 67.
  19. Exotics_Builder
  20. Exotics_Builder
    That's one I was thinking of as well. Also, a couple of the Fujimi Ferrari kits. But, without access to my kit stash, I have no basis to tell other than photos.

    As stated, the AMT kit is a parts bonanza. I have the Revell Snap 63 to kitbash with their 67. Need to drop the disc brakes for drums and a couple other things and you get a much more accurate model
  22. Exotics_Builder
    I have no idea as they are from the Vendor's web page. My stuff is 2000 miles away at the moment at the new house. They look like wheels included in the AMT 62 TBird kit, but could also be from sports car kits. All my kits are at the new house so I can;t get at them right now

    My bad. HW store lacquer thinner is supposedly medium grade or get a medium grade at the auto supply. I haven't bought auto supply lacquer thinner for some time so have no comparison on cost versus the HW store. The lacquer thinners I have in the stash are Mr. Color, Tamiya, HW store.
  24. Exotics_Builder
    And I just messaged Bob and he said medium grade HW store lacquer thinner works fine. I use my Tamiya and Gunze Lacquer thinners for some paints (such as my remaining Cobra Colors).

    On the test body I tried it on, it did. I used an Iwata Gravity feed cup airbrush. I did not have time to do more than the test because I needed to "close the shop" for the move. I will get back to it after the move is complete and the paint booth set up. If necessary, contact Bob and ask his recommendation. He told me at the DuPage swap meet about a year ago to try the hardware store lacquer thinner.
