No, but there are couple of kits that might be that way if I bought them (or just one of them. They’re expensive). There’s a guy in Facebook who offers a Porsche 935 K3 and a 956 or 962 in 1/8 scale, 3D printed. I would want to make it into a road car. That would be a lot of work. They are about $1000 each.

Tamiya King Tiger

I love that Ambush camouflage. -
I like Superfine White Milliput. It can be like Bondo or used for texture. I made the Zimmerit texture on the Tiger II tank by rolling it into thin sheets on a porcelain tile with a Teflon rod for a rolling pin. I used talcum powder to prevent from sticking to either. I scratched up the surface of the plastic with the back edge of a number 11 blade.

THE RODDERS JOURNAL...
LDO replied to Mothersworry's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Glad to hear it. I love that magazine. I made a crazy lowball offer on eBay for issues 1-77 a few years ago and won it. I had all but the first few that are so hard to find, but I got 77 issues for less than I would have spent buying the first few individually. (I don’t remember how many of the first few are so hard to find/expensive.) -
Unreal. I just got a Yodel 1/8 scale Honda CBX motorcycle kit, open box, sealed in bags, for $23.99 plus shipping. I’ve seen these sell for close to $400. Four people had it on their watch list. I guess they snoozed through the end of the auction. I was there, heart racing, hoping my bid would be high enough…wondering if there would be a flurry of bids at the last moment. I was the only bidder. The auction didn’t say 1/8 scale, so maybe some people thought it was the 1/15 scale kit. I want to use that engine for a custom bike like I saw in a magazine years ago. It was long and low, no fairings that I remember. Ducati single-sided swingarm. Fuel was in a pair of tanks, one on either side of the frame, aluminum or stainless tubes with a diagonal cut at each end and a convex end. It’s been years since I saw that photo. I would love to see it again, but it’s ok if I don’t. I can just use my imagination. I’m so excited!

I see “Beware of this seller” posts on Facebook all the time, from people who got scammed. I wonder why people buy on there at all. Face to face I can see, but mail order? No way. eBay has protections for buyer and seller. I once bought a 1/24 airplane off eBay for a really good price. It was too good to be true. eBay refunded my money.
