Better late than never lol This is the finished car

Hi Gents Is the Welly Challenger SRT true to scale in 1:24/5 ? Ive got a Welly Silverado that seems undersized ? Hows it compare to the Motor Max Challenger Hellcat ?

Thanks for ya comment Espo. My 57 door cars were custom and I used 56 armrest / door pulls with the straight 56 int chrome trims. I wanted a kinda stock but not look. I will more than likely use the 57 kit interior as most wont be seem once finished.

The bench is due a cut, nearest I have to use as a start. Best int pic I have, that shifter top maybe a problem to make (my eyes aint that good)

This has sat on the shelf for way too long as a lot of life stuff has got in the way. Now I'm off work due to the C-19 its time to get this sucka rollin'. This will be the 1:25 of my 1:1 57 Chevy, known by many in the UK as FTO (F$$$ Thats Orange). As its been on the street 9 years this build is way overdue. I have a 210 so the bel air kit along with dash and rear 1/4 spears from the black widow 150 and some sanding will provide the start point. Revell was good enough to also include lowered suspension with big F & R brakes, so pretty covered too. Few minor parts like slapper bars to add. Interior needs modding (anybody have a pic of ths Revell 56 sedan int door panels ?) as my car has 56 int door pulls along with a radio & clock delete dash (150's perfect) and a Glide Engineering custom front bench seat. Bench base but 2 reclinable seperate backs with a centre armrest, hmmmmm ? 2 seat backs from spares box may work. This is going to be a display model (my 04 Silveradp crew cab will join it one day) so not overly detailed on stuff you cant see (1:1 has R & P steering and a Ford 9" etc) Now to start basics and sanding the trim.....

Very nice build. I used to own a 95 Z28 Camaro. Very fast car. Only car Ive ever bought twice !

Thanks, will try your suggestions. I dont want to strip factory paint, just spray over it.

Hi Guys I have an old diecast i want to repaint. It had paper type 'decals' that need to be removed. Ive soaked it in water for a few days & the top layers have rubbed off, leaving the adhesive residue that wont shift with just soaking. Any tips what i can use to remove it without damaging the paint ?

I need 6 stud wheels. With the £ vs $ nosediving importing stuff now is real expensive, wheels from another kit would be better as maybe able to find here.

Somehow i duplicated the post. Mods please can you delete.

Started on the MPC Chevy Blazer snap kit to try n do a quick build based on a CUCV. I want to change kit 8 spoke wheels to steels, any suggestions as what other kit might have them ? I found these in my spares box, only 5 not 6 stud but i only have 4 of them. The 5th is different but same tyre ?

I keep looking at Greenlights 1/24 Mad Max Interceptor but not sure as blower & wheels just dont look right. Has anybody modifed or detailed one ? Be great to see pics

Thats it, my memorys not great Casey lol. The truck hood decal would of worked.

Never seen those before. I seem to remember a Fall Guy Firebird from somewhere ? I lucked out with the Fall Guy truck kit I had, as it had 2 decal sheets in it. I planned to build the firebird and GMC at 1 point, all sold on many years ago now.

I found this while going through stuff last night Never issued Fall Guy Camaro.

Never thought the Silverado maybe too large instead of the Mustang being too small. At least all the Greenlight silverado's look suited on same shelf.

Thanks for the info Mike. I have the Maverick, Colour me Gone, Ramcharger and Petty Plymouth kits but havent looked that close at the parts trees as they are still boxed.

Great news, thanks Steve.

Has a 65 Plymouth Belvedere ever been kitted in 1:25 ?

Oh and a HW Dodge Ram fitted with the 1:87 semi wheels

The exclusive blue 2018 Silverado that came with the livestock trailer has now been lowered & the side steps cut off. I will be adding a bed cover. I wanted to go lower & add Herpa semi wheels, but the exclusive colour had chrome wheels on it, so they are staying. This is a before & after pic.

Randy, unfortunately Greenlight are the same as I found out after buying a Fox Mustang. Pic is a GL Silverado, Majorette Silverado & GL Mustang. Kinda looks lost lol

Ive had a few 1:64's arrive this week. Greenlight Dodge Ram sport & a Jada Big Time muscle CHP Camaro. This will sit with the Jada CHP 57 Chevy I bought when 1st issued 15 years ago. Also pack of Herpa 1:87 semi wheels n tyres that are just right for 1:64 Duallys. Also the exclusive colour blue Silverado has now been lowered and side steps removed. A bed cover will be added.

Thanks for the info guys. It was more custom I was looking for. Anybody got pics of what custom wheels you have used or a side by side comparison with 1/32 vs 1/25 wheels ? I'm looking to find something to use on the AMT Chevy Dually Custom 3500 kit.

Hi Guys I've seen a couple of threads about using 1/32 scale semi wheels on a 1;25 snap chevy dually. I dont have any 1;32 kits, so no idea of the 2 size wheels next to each other. The other question is, what tyres would I need to use on the 1/32 wheels ?
