  1. One of the comments for the news video I did for it suggested the wheels from the AMT '51 Chevy kit( he said thats what he used)
  2. Very nice work
  3. Real nice.
  4. Very nice
  5. When is your weather going to be better for painting ? Thank you Erik Thank you Tomo
  6. I can put my man pants on and admit that I was wrong, you are correct Dan, the lightbar in the CHP kits all newly tooled and not the same tooling from the Force 440, its very close but not the same.
  7. Thank you Ray!, It seems its every single build these days, its frustrating for sure. Thank you Roger, I mean, you almost have to go out your way to mess up the new kits, they are worth the money and just pleasure to build. Curtis my friend, thank you sir. Jim, thank you Thank yo Chris. Thank you my friend, now get yours finished , I cant wait to see it!( post it in the Pheedens group) Thank you Rich, I think its glue, its a couple of small spots , I have in the past been able to wet sand it out, I do have all three stages of Novus , I felt because they were small that I was just going to leave, and with my bad of the rear bumper getting broke ,I just wanted to get it finished out of harms way. Phil, thank you , I can't say that I have either, but I know someone that is going to be getting one( he is even member here) if goes with my suggestion, it will be the same color as this one Bruce, thank you , yes, they managed to out do themselves
  8. Yes, well, it will be if it comes back into stock
  9. So here is mine, all done, lovely kit, I mean, Tamiya really did raise the bar , I did find installing the headlights/taillights to be bit clunky if you will, I am very much looking forward to building the second one I have with the wide body kit. Paint is Turbulence Gray = (C2Y). Aka BMW Bluestone Metallic from Scalefinishes. You cant even tell the rear bumper was ever broken......what? (rofl) I did manage to get some glue on the drivers side of the windshield, I really have the s****ist luck when it comes to windows.
  10. Just the gloss black at one nearest to me, there are two within a few miles, but I really don't like going to those unless I really have to, so I am going to imagine they are same way. I was a big user of the flat black .
  11. PS, I have gotten my hands on the kit and have seen even better in person pictures of the light bar , and I did a fair amount of research( for my videos, I want to be accurate, hey look!, that word again ) for a few minutes for the Force 440 lightbar, and what I can was able to ascertain , it's very close to the same light bar that is in the CHP kit, even to go as far as to say its the say tooling, the only difference I can see is the CHP version has the siren openings in the just the front side where as the one in the Force 440 kit as in the back side . But insides look to be 100 exact. I would love if someone had a light bar from the 440 kit they could post pics of. I use this one here to help in coming to my conclusion , and if you will be attending the Moonlight meeting for Feb 2020, I will happily bring the light bar with from the CHP kit so you too can see some even better in person photos of it.
  12. Yes Dan is correct and I failed to mention in my post that they are not accurate for police wheels, my plan as well is to get a set from Fireball.
  13. I believe the lightbar is from the Force 440 kit , either way, no complaints that Round2 took the time to put in accurate lightbar for the kit. The wheels are from the 78 Pickup they did last year, so then only actual new parts will be the pushbar, again, no complaints.
  14. That color really does fit the Supra Zupra.
  15. Don't break the rear bumper, that might slow ya down some?
  16. A much bigger Hobby store in the UK has it listed but they wont let you pre order yet, and no date is listed.
  17. Peter with the win?
  18. To help illustrate what James is saying
