Only watching the 600, not a open wheel fan, but this is one of the best weekends for race fans , If the F1 race was not on so bloody early, I would watch it, just for the location really

Erik, nice start, you are the second person going ahead and building one, I will build one as well, already know what its going to be built as. Got any colors in mind for the body ?

I really want one, but not at the price that its being sold for, and I have seen some of them and the quality is not that good,

Really?, I can find it online but 99% of those are not from US sellers

1/25 Revell '90 Mustang LX 5.0 2'n1 Special Edition
martinfan5 replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
For everyone that is upset at what Revell has pooped out for a body, we all need to contact Revell and tell them just how wrong the body is, if dont, then Revell is going to conitune to poop out half arsed kits and hoping we will drink their kool-aide, we need to do what the aircraft guys to , and not put up with it, and tell them that they need to fix it instead of taking up the rear end that we do now. Guess what, Revell needs us more then we need to Revell, and that is the bottom, whats business without customers ? So contact them via email, via Facebook, via letter, via smoke signals, does not matter, just tell Revell how bad they messed this one up, we can bitch and complain here tell the cows come how and cook us dinner, and wash the dishes, but its not going to accomplish anything, and get us a correct body for this kit Just for the record, I am on the side that is upset at how bad Revell messed the body up -
I agree it does, my favorite now is Mr Hobby Clear, what a great clear coat, but its hard to find

Gary, you did a good job on this one, I was a little shocked to see you chop the roof the off, but still looks good
-
Doug, yes you may, I would be happy if you did , I enjoy seeing your work John, we are all waiting for you to join Oscar, dont let them decals scare you, if you take your time, use the products that help with decal application, you will be fine, like they say, practice makes perfect I want to try and keep a list of who is building what, I will be adding it to the OP Tomo, and Juan, nice work so far

Cool New Stuff from Aoshima - Tamiya Reissue...
martinfan5 replied to Erik Smith's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I had no idea the Toyota van was being reissued again, I missed that one, dont know how, but off to pre order it -
Ebay is a great a place to get wheels, I am sure you can find something you can use, I would search using Aoshima wheels, Fujimi wheels, those will bring a lot of results Ok, speaking of the engine, started working on it, here it is after some Alcald Aluminum and painted the chassis black , yes, you are seeing white, no, didnt forget to paint those areas , it says in the instruction book to paint those white, I am trying to find pics that will confirm that, so for now And doing some work on the interior , not much has been done, just some black paint and yes, its hard to tell, but the body is in white primer, now its time to go over it and make sure there are no mold or seem lines
