  1. I see you have been to a few swap meets in the past, you hit the nail on the head for a few of them.
  2. I never seen this option , can you explain how one can find it, I have failed to find it myself.
  3. Hmm , interesting, I just yesterday received an item I purchased from a seller on Ebay, maybe I missed the part that was not usable
  4. I agree with everything said, price your kits to sell, not for show, brand new kits or still fairly new kits, you can price them close to what you paid for them new, or what they could buy for from their favorite retailer, but dime a dozen kits, anything more than $10/15 and you will be bringing them home.
  5. Yes it DOES!!!,
  6. Body has been painted, needs a little bit of a second coat, not 100% even on some panels, cant wait to see this one after its been clear coated.
  7. That is really nice color, oddly , it really fits the 512.
  8. Cool project.
  9. What paint/color did you use, it looks good on it.
  10. Body in Tamiya Pink Primer and almost ready for paint. There is a bit of wheel poke, to remedy that, I did this, on the left is out of the box, and on the right is after I removed that part, I also had to cut down the back side of the brake rotors ( not pictured right now) And lowering the ride height was pretty easy, all I did was remove just a bit of the mounting tube that the spindles attach too. a And a mock up, looks a lot better , yes, the wheel are sunk in bit, the brake rotors will push them out
  11. I am not, I was going to at first, but am gonna be cheap and use the kit's grill
  12. Ugg, Pizza Hut, truly nasty pizza
  13. I agree 100% Ben, I loathe the Revell(of Germany) boxes, if it makes ya feel any better, my McLaren body was damage too because of crappy boxes, but I was able to fixed it.
  14. Happy that I purchased the Plamoz set for this kit, as this one came with three rear tires and one front tire
  15. Its not horrible, but not perfect
  16. PJ Toys was last active here 5 hrs ago.
  17. Before we get the paint-o-flying, need to address some fit issues, up first, is this , as you can see, the body will not seat properly onto the chassis plate Here is what is causing it. That piece in the kind of red square, the flat piece, that wont let the body sit all the way down. And with the trusty set of spure cutters, the piece is removed. And now, all snug .
  18. Very very nice on both .
  19. Thanks Casey.
  20. Project next...next next next( I really need to retire that bit) with the two NASCAR builds on hold , might as well get start a new one right?, they wont build themselves, Ive asked. Oh, and I would like to point out the paint, its not blue and you have no idea how hard it was not get the blue , OMG, like super hard. As you can see, paint will be from Scalefinishes and is Mercedes Cardinal Red, wheels are from Plamoz
