    Wow,,been seeing some great stuff on here today,,{not refering to mine as much} Anyways,,I dig the NNL shows here in SE Mich. I was at last one DAMM show,,and its cool the stuff you find in ziplock bags for 3-5$,,1/2 started glueblobs of beauty. This was such a case,,its supposed to be a turbo mtr,,and it came w/the turbo setup,but I like the reg mtr setup,,so modified that to reg carb setup,scratch built some side pipes,scratch built roll bar,did some minor wiring.plumbing in mtr bay. Painted w/testors quikdry enamel,,and flat sand interior. It didnt have the stock front grill in kit,so I got a grill from the spare parts bx,mounted behind air inlet in front grill area. All in all,it was worth the 5$. Just a hats off to MCM for adding my 1/12 67 Vette in your 2016 contest mag,,i grabbed 3 copies! Thanks so much,,S

    Hi all,,I know,,I know ,,there was a recent post of this awhile back,,of which it was a beautiful build{white color w/flames },,cant remember who posted it,,it is a great version though. At any rate,,this kit had to be modified as far as body panels so it could be displayed w/front section on and off. I also changed out the rear tires+rims .Added scratch built wheelie bar set at rear. And added some minor wiring,,linkage,plumbing. ,, a stripe down center of bodywork.,,different headers. Cool kit ,,but had to clean alot of flashing before assembly+paint. All in all,,its a nice addition to the shelf,,thanks for looking. S.S.

    wow,,love it! I really like that 1:1 kawi scambler,,yours looks great! Wish I could find more large scale bike kits out there.
  15. skymnky721
    I always have a DVD or VHs or youtube movie of some type of Motorsports while building,,seems to work for me.

    We pay for ALOT of things we shouldnt have to,,no need to go into ,,what,,where ,,how much ect,,ect..Im sure weve all questioned some or all of what we get taxed for. And thats all Im going to say about it.

    This may have been covered somewhere else,,couldnt find it. Anyways,,why does testors enamel bottle{small size} turn to a gel-like glob after a couple of months? I store them indoors,,away from direct sunlight,,so there not getting too hot,,and the weirdest thing is not all colors do this! Some I have Ive had for a year or so,,and there still fine{aside from having to add a bit of thinner to help flow better} I dont get it. Any ideas?

    Thanks Slusher,,you have some great stuff in here as well,,and that goes for everybody else also!
  19. skymnky721
    Thanks Harry,,I really like that 30's era large scale indy/road racer kit you have in here,,amazing. Look forward to seeing it completed!
  20. skymnky721
    Well I dont have EVERY one they put out,,quite a few though. Heres the CB 750 tamiya 1/12th,,I dont have the large scale 750{that would be nice!} The CB 750 tamiya went together without any hassles or modifications for fit. IMO Tamiya makes the most accurate kits for the $$$. Meaning ,not having to clean flash,,filing mating surfaces,alignment of assemblys,,ect,,ect. Ill toss a few more tamiyas Ive done in here just for the fun of it.
