  13. Thanks Bob ! The front tires came from The Parts Box only because they are slightly smaller diameter , the rest are from the kit . Here's a couple of photos showing the cut down springs.

    Beautiful old classic , love the color choices ! Excellent job !
  20. I just finished this one after only three weeks on my bench , it's built mostly right out of the box with just a couple changes . The first change was to cut down the front and rear springs to lower the ride height 1/8th inch all around , this is probably not the preferred way but it was the simplest and caused no problems with the rest of the build . While working on the front I also modified it to have poseable steering . Then I swapped the front tires with some from The Parts Box which have a smaller diameter , not much but enough to add more rake to the finished model . I also removed the front license plate from the headlight crossbar , to me it cluttered things and just looks better without the plate . I also opened the exhaust and printed a rear license plate . To finish it off I printed a surf board decal to match the box art . The fenders and frame were molded in a Crimson Red plastic that was polished and I printed decals for the wood grain panels then sprayed the body inside and out with Tamiya TS-13 Clear . This is probably the easiest kit I've built in a long time , it was a pleasure to build and went together exactly like it should with no issues at all . Here's a ride height "before and after" photo . Finished chassis . A couple of the finished body . More finished photo , thanks for lookin' !
  21. Looks good to me TJ ! Don't see silver Camaro's built too often and I like wheel choice too !
  22. Beautifully done Phil ! Love the look of those wheels and tires with the blue metallic paint !
  23. Great detailing on all of them Bill ! I really like what you've done to the Killer bee , such an improvement over the basic kit ! Mine has been on hold while I search for better tires with not much luck . Where did you find those rear paddle tires ? They're exactly what I can't find !
  24. I'm with you Ron . . . I know just a little about planes and that one is very cool !
  25. That is really cool Pat ! I like that so much I may buy one myself !
