  1. What's In The Box look at the full resin kit from the Modeler's out of Japan, everything you need to build this kit minus paint/glue is in the box, no donor kit is required , but that does come at a cost, you look to spend around $80-95US to bring this to your workbench, but its worth it if you like this subject. You can watch the video or check out the photo's below the video.
  2. Taking a look at the Toyota Corolla Levin AE92 GrA kit from Beemax, its been out for a few months now. You can watch the video or check out the photo's of the kit's contents.
  3. Thank you gentlemen
  4. Fifty Camaro, pretty much straight outa the box, ride height was adjusted, wheels stripped of their chrome and painted with Alclad Polished Aluminum over a gloss black base. Paint is from Scalefinishes , GM Cyber Gray topped off with a coat of 2k clear.
  5. I think I have heard jelly beans before, yeah, it is kind of funny, but I dont think at the time NASCAR or Dodge had any idea they would be leaving.
  6. Yes, the current cars look more like their street counter parts then the twisted sisters cars did ( 2004-2007), and I wont mention the COT
  7. it all depends on what you are going for, realistic and how its done in most cases ( there are times when race teams will clear over the decals, but that is a different race series) or , going for more protection of the decals. If you are going after realistic , then what Jhedri6 said
  8. I am so glad I dont live next to door these guys that insist on making home made paintbooth bombs.
  9. It is very much worth the extra few dollars.
  10. Alright Mr Cole, here is the deal on those, the purple bottle is the real one, the white is a generic knock off , and it is not as strong, both of those will strip chrome, but the white bottle wont do it as good and will take longer. The white bottle also will not really touch say Tamiya TS paints, the purple bottle will strip most TS sprays. Get the purple bottle
  11. One, I wish I was your friend, two, I wish I was in the Charlotte/Concord area in the next two weeks.
  12. I love driving a manual, but I am perfectly happy with driving a auto in city life.
  13. It does come with the figure. Wild Egg Girls No.02 Pkw.K1 Cubel Wagen Type 82 `Claire Frost` w/figure (Plastic model)
  14. No need, there are plenty of figures being made in 1/24th scale as of late , just gotta look.
  15. Someone that gets it I get my orders from Japan within four days as well, but I also spend like $50 or so for shipping, I have no complaints , I currently have a order inbound from Japan as we speak, and I think it was $53 US via FedEx.
  16. Something is full of hot air for sure.
  17. Sounds like you chose the cheapest shipping option from Japan the seller offered, or maybe the seller did not offer another shipping option. There are four different shipping options Japan Post offers, Express Mail Service ( EMS), Airmail, Economy Air( SAL), Surface Mail, so if it has been 30 days, the seller sent it surface mail, which means it was transported by ground to the port, loaded into a container ship, and then once it reaches the USA, will be put in a trailer and transported by ground to its destination. SAL, that is a combination of surface and air, surface in Japan, air to the designation country, and then ground to its destination, and I have heard, I dont know how much truth there is to this, but SAL packages are the last to get loaded and only if there is room, if not, it waits for the next air cargo container. Or the short of it, yes, its on the slow boat from Japan.
  18. I hate it when facts get in the way
