  1. Really great looking Jaguar. Very well done.
  2. Nicely done. I like the weathering. It that "constriction debris"?
  3. Thanks, guys. @carruchaI'm sure yours will turn out great. Looking forward to seeing your progress. @Chuck MostYes, the grill/apron fit is quite iffy with no positive mounting points. You just kind of have to guess. The fuel filler cap came in the kit, and I almost forgot to put it on,
  4. Nice looking Porsche! Really well done.

    '84 Corvette

    Nice looking Corvette. Good job.
  6. Great looking Roadrunner. Well done.
  7. I could go for a Huracan along with a BMW M8.
  8. This in interesting. Hopefully it'll be easier to get than the NuNu kit and will be reasonably priced.
  9. Thanks, Alberto. I painted the toolbox with Rust-Oleum Bright Coat Chrome. Looks pretty good in scale.
  10. Nice custom Chevy. Well done.
  11. Great looking Chevelle. Really well done.
  12. Thanks, guys. Don't worry @espo I'll get those chock blocks in there! ? @Classicgas A Slant-6 will be cool in the truck.
  13. Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. @GLMFAA1 Interesting story. Thanks for sharing. I noticed that too about the turn signals, clear or amber. There didn't seem to be any consistency! The front turn signals are actually decals from the kit. There are three of them on the sheet, and it took me a little while to figure out what they actually were. At first, I thought they were mirrors (Italeri has done that), but that didn't make any sense as both sets of mirrors are chrome & the decals were too small anyway. I seem to have forgotten to paint the bed light above the rear window. Going to have to fix that. The plan is to eventually pair this with a Diamond-REO C-116 dump truck.
  14. Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.
  15. What an absolutely gorgeous car! When I was this kit, I knew I had to build it. The kit went together with the expected Tamiya quality, and the only problem I had during assembly was the tail lights. They were really finicky to get into place, but I managed to get it to work in the end, somehow. The mirrors gave be trouble, too. Go figure. The car is built out of the box and represents the car that Mercedes-AMG took on the Car Show Circuit in 2016 prior to teams using it in IMSA, WEC, and other series. When researching photos of this car, I found that most photos showed the car with black wall tires just like the kit. While accurate, it's kind of boring. Several photos showed cars with yellow line tires. A little better, but I didn't have yellow-line tire decals. Then I found a photo of the car with Pirelli P Zero tires. Those decals I had, so I added the Pirelli tire decals & the BBS wheel decals from the Modern Sports Car Tire Decals from Mike's Decals. Dresses it up a little. Body color is Tamiya Semi-Gloss Gun Metal TS-100.
  16. Here is my take on the recent issue of the MPC Dodge D100: The build is essentially box-stock, with a couple of add-ons. The "County Road Commission" decals & the MPC bumper sticker are from the recent issue of the MPC Gravel Trailer, the roof marker lights are from the AMT 1972 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside pickup, Michigan plate is from the kit, amber roof beacon is from the Spare Parts Box, and the bed toolbox is 3-D printed from Cults (it's not the best, but it fits the bill). Color is Tamiya Orange TS-12 over grey primer. Not totally sure what to do with the mini-bike. Underside:
  17. Great looking Charger.
  18. Cool looking Ferrari.
