I´m not a big fan of "modern style" hot rods.... but I must admit: this work caught my attention!!!! Congrats!!!

I must thank VW Dave for the tip. I already bought mine and yesterday it has arrived at home... Man... what great wheels!!!! Gorgeous!!! And have do mention how great guy Hideo Motohashi is!!! KUDOS to both!!! First, of course to Hideo for such talent and kindness! And to VW Dave for sharing! I´m a happy modeler righ now!

Thanks Matt for your info. I´m starting to believe this Ford transporter truck has never existed. It is very odd that a search on google did not bring any information besides this Entex model and a miniature from Exoto (which is very different) I´m intended to contact Exoto asking about its model. Any chances to get a truly answer? I mean…if they made a model based on a hypothetic version, will they say “yes, we made a model that does not exist” ??? LOL It´s hard do believe on this.... In another hand, if this truck has a 1:1 counterparty, maybe Exoto could help a lot if they have some research material and be able to share if us. But again, I'm tending to believe that the only trucks that Porsche have used as racing support were from Mercedes Benz (very strange, considering that they were from one of your most rival brands, isn´t it?). LOL

Hello guys. I found this 1/32 kit and was wondering if this truck has already been produced for real. I tried Google but without success. Does anybody know about it or have good pictures of it? Or maybe it was just a phantom model that this plastic company has decided to launch at that time? Any thoughts are welcome.

What about this? http://www.scaleproduction.de/product_info.php?info=p1600_-michael-k--rider-.html

Nice work. Is this kit from AMT or Aoshima? Congrats

Nice work so far! Congrats!

I buy another one

Looks amazing!!!

I agree. And by considering this, I think you should consider decrease the width of the front wheels as well. Congrats for the build. Very nice so far!

I believe that only Hobby Design models could help you. I´m working on a VW's project: one MKII Golf GTI and another MKV Golf GTI, both will use BBS wheels, but the first one will go with 18" and the seconde one will go with 19". Same model for both! The only bad thing about it is that they dont come with tires. This is the 19" on the MKV with Pegasus tires: Another thing to mention is that they are not so good. Poor quality in terms of casting. Flash and mold lines.

Just looking and learning.... Outstanding man!

Hi guys... I´m going to use the AMT '32 Ford Coupe kit. As you may know, the kit is no fully correct in some parts... Where (aftermarket resin companies or even in another donnor kits) I can find the correct items to replicate Milner´s '32 Ford Coupe from the movie? I´m meaning: - Wheels & Tires (original ones with with E-78 series tires?) - Man-A-Fre intake manifold, a quartet of Rochester 2G two-barrel carbs, and no name valve cover Thanks again people!

That´s why I love this forum! Jim B, Fat Brian and Platerpants, thanks for the repply. Fat brian, Thank you very much for the info. What about these other kits?

Guys, to make this famous truck from the 3rd movie, which kit is more indicated? Long Hauler or US Conventional Truck Optimus Prime Thanks guys! ;-)

One of the best F100 that I ever seen!!!! I loved... ...the paint ...the stance ...the engine bay area ...the wheels ...the graphics Loved all! Congrats!

George53, thanks for the input! ;-) Joker.. you are right.. I had not noticed that.. shame on me. Thanks for the advice and for the tip of '70 Imapla's rims.. Is the same I need for this project!!!! (BTW, very nice model...) So, I guess I must go with R&R... Thanks guys!.

Guys, I would like to know from the experts here, what is the difference between the resin bodies from Jimmy Flintstone '59 Ford Country Sedan Wagon #125 and R&R 1959 FORD 2 DR. WAGON in terms of quality and accuracy. Ok, the R&R comes complete and cost around 48 bucks. In another hand, we get JF´s body only, but the price is $19. Considering I will need a Revell '59 Galaxie as donnor, what do you suggest me? That´s the project: Thanks fellas!

Thats the boring thing about working with resin.... otherwise, is a lot of fun!!!! I mean most of them...

I´m intended to build F-32, by Foose and for this project, I bought the V12 engine from Replicas & Miniatures Company of Maryland (as a matter of fact, it is from Rich´s Resin). 12 bucks, worth every penny! Call Norm... he is an excelent guy and it´s always nice to do business with him! (replmincomd@aol.com)

I'm going to follow this topic for sure!!!

I also have this transkit resin and my intention is to replicate the real car. I would suggest you make the chassis by scratchbuilding it, but reading your message, I would say trust on the "father of the child" and use the '53 Ford. Unlike everyone, I love this car. I just do not like the black cover inside the wheels.
