  11. I am looking for at least one of the large bumper driving lights from the Italeri Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC Rallye Bandama 1979 kit: The P/Ns for the lights is 60c and the lenses is 71d. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
  12. This is kind of an open-ended question, as you've probably seen. Ask 40 different people and get 40 different answers. I guess it really boils down to the person's approach to modeling. For me, I build to relax & enjoy my time at the bench, so I prefer kits the fit well. Minor fit issues I can understand & deal with (minor flash, mold lines, etc.), but I do not want to have to fight to get a kit to fit. This to me is frustrating & not enjoyable. AMT, MPC, and in some cases, Revell kits generally fit into this category, mostly due to the age of the molds. Tamiya kits fit well, although they can be a little fiddly at times. Many of the Revell kits fit well, and the Italeri kits I've built have fit ok. The one Moebius kit I built fit well, although the instructions were difficult to interpret. I cannot speak to Fujimi, Hasagawa, NuNu, or SalvinosJR as I have not built any of their kits yet. Don't get me wrong. I have seen some fantastic builds from AMT & MPC kits, and I have built several of their kits; however, for the frustration they usually bring, I don't think they are worth the $40-45 (maybe $25).
  13. Cool looking little tractor. Well done.
  14. Really nice conversion on your MG. Very well done.
  15. Great looking Skyline. Very well done.
  16. Thanks for all of the information, guys, I appreciate it. @Exotics_Builder That's a nice looking interior, Gerry.
  17. Great looking Charger. Well done.
  18. Oddly, the listing for this car also say that it's a Z/28 RS: And someone bought it for $165,000!
  19. @johnyrotten Thanks, John. I'll have to see what I can come up with. I'd like to make this build at least kind of accurate.
  20. @slusher Thanks for the confirmation, Carl. I had a feeling that the green one was the correct steering wheel. Now I just have to find one as I don't think that one came with the kit. Just a chrome three spoke. @espo Thanks, David. That really is a nice looking interior.
