Yeah i had the problem with the whole front end lol . Took me a while to get the front end to stick right . But your making good progress mate

i to use a wire coat hanger and it works just fine. As for the rear fender wells on the one i did in that picture i didnt do anything to them and the tyres went in fine with no problems.

yeah i've had to trim off the top of it to fit under the window... my steering linkages didn't line up they were to short lol

looking good mate ... is this the "revell 2 in 1 " kit ???

lol i know i wanted to drop her a little bit at the back but being as this was my 8th model ever... i thought it best to wait till i am a bit more experenced lol...i was told to open the rear wells up a little bit to so they fit the size of the wheels but maybe another build... i cant wait to see yous done !!! if you want any other pics of mine just ask and i'll post um for ya

that is one sexy van well done on it... i know what ya mean about them side mirrors i just done mine and my god there tricky to get to stay stuck lol... did you have any trouble with the dash fitting at all ???

hi ya mate looking good so far ... the only thing i can say with this kit is the front wheels do need to be realined... i did this kit not to long ago and yes it is an amazing build but i didnt sort out the front wheels and they sit to far in at the top as you can see here good luck with it i will be following this one for sure stu

well i'll be, a horse's, mothers , uncle's , dad .... that my friend is attention to detailing at its finest !!!!!... i'm loving this build i cant stop looking at it over and over again tryin to fathum how on earth you're doing it lol... great work !!

wow she is really coming along nice... i noticed that you didnt put the oil filler tube on , are you going to be leaving it off ?

thanks mate i just gotta wait till after my Lil boys birthday then i can get some clear coat lol .

looking very good so far mate... if i may just a few little tips...1 on the ignition wires try using (30 gage) wire its a bit more in scale to the engine ...2 when your doing more then 1 colour, once you've laid down the masking tape , give it a slight dusting over with clear coat prior to the next colour , this will help stop the "paint bleed" under the tape . hope you dont take offence she is looking killer for your 3rd kit. keep up the good work and welcome to this fantastic forum stu

i have to say i am so jealious of that paint job... thats so deep and sweet i love it . you are sure doing 1 heck of a good job on this one

hi again just another small update today... i did a moch up of the door panels the cut out that i made to make room for the hinges will be filled in and the top ripple design will be filled in to... hope you all like. any comments welcome good or bad thanks for looking in stu

hi mate... these kits are very nice to build i am also doing one now lol... the only thing i can say is the steering linkage's dont line up... but other then that so far i havent had much problems with the kit... good luck with it i'll be watching yours for sure. stu

last one full side veiw i did try to drop the rear end but the chassis rails were in the way... so i will leave it as is on this one but i plan to get another one... and i will try to redo the chassis rails and the floor to make room for it to be dropped i hope you all like the way she is turning out so far as always any comments good or bad are more then welcome. thanks for looking in stu

few more i did a moch up to see how she sits and added a stainless steel tip the interior started front veiw

hi there all got quite a fair bit done over the last few days ... chassis is done ... engine done and installed... i started the interior... i have found a few little problems with the kit along this build so far... there mainly mouldings but there are 1 or 2 lineing up problems... i will let the pics do the talking chassis done

holy mother of god... I dont think the real thing has that much detail lol... You my friend are a true inspiration and a true master ! I love watching your builds they have helped me with my own builds so i salute you .

no you dont... when i prep the body for first primer i start with 400 and work up to 1000... then primer, then lightly sand with 3000 prior to paint and after each coat of paint i use 2500 to level out the paint... same as with the clear coat... on the last coat of clear i use 8000 up to 12000 then use the rubbing compound to bring out the shine... then i use either wax or polish to deepen the shine... hope that helps you out stu

i will be clear coating after i have all the decals on... i dont know how to do it before i apply them... no the spoiler was formed like that i was going to try to straighten it but the last time i did try it i snapped it... so being as this is only my 10th kit ever i will leave it untill i got a little more skill in that area lol.

i have mate its called flea market find. Its under on work bench . And under glass

its a Nissan silvia s13 . And she is all done mate .
