Thanks for the offer mate, but Cool Hand has already taken care of it. Usually i like to get the body in paint first but just like my last build its cold rainy and crappy and its set to be like this all week So i painted a heap of other little parts last night, its quite fun doing a different model to the usual hotrods and 60s muscle cars for a change.

Pm reply'd, thanks heaps mate.

Cheers guys, well ill be building this one box stock as best i can to replicate the real car. These models are new to me, first real drag car ive done lol. Im keen as to get cracking!

Hey people i just scored this of ebay for a steal. Seems to be a fairly old kit (1991?) and has previously been opened but the plastics were all still in there packaging. The instructions however are missing. Ive looked through here ( http://www.revell.com/support/instructions.html ) and couldn't find any and if anybody could help me out it would be much appreciated. Im sure i don't really need any but they would be great for final assembly lol. Cheers guys, keep an eye out for updates.

that motors massive haha

nah man rb26det > 2jzgte lol

I loved this movie. But ###### holden six's sound terrible lol

For sure man i could say the exactly what you just said, i know i could of done so much better in many areas of this model too so i reckon sometime soon im going to do another one, its such a sweet car once completed. Painting the body on this was definitely the biggest challenge, will be a while before i do another white car lol.

Thats phat, imo gloss would make it bitchen

Very close to done now, just applying decals and then clear then i will let it sit for a day and get polishing, after that its obviously just the windows and chrome parts.

Yeh I wonder what the go is ay, its really dissapointing imo. I didnt have any problems with the wheels, it must come down to how you place the spring with the trailing arm, i think its really cool though how the spindles can move, im not sure what way they are supposed to go but i have them turned around so the car sits lower at the front too.

Cheers for the feedback, yeh im having fun! the only part im not liking atm is knowing i could of done some things better. Im mainly talking about painting the chassis rails black, and not getting clean straight edges. Maybe i could of used some tape. But thats still on my list of things to get. Any advice on this would be great Everything is basically glued together now, just waiting for glue to dry so i can start doing touch ups. The engine doesn't fit very well, its hitting the firewall and is just a few mm too far forward, making a few things not line up as they should, but it all looks fine so meh lol

Awesome detail on that interior, those 2 colors work so well together too. Top stuff.

White is such a hard color to paint, i hope its not just me. Here's some shots of the paint still relatively wet. Still the pearl, water slides and clear to go on.

It actually looks very 80s too lol

Looks exactly like the one off Forza! Prety mad though i like it better than mine actually haha.

Yeh i wouldnt say im not hooked lol, but its hard to get real serious with this hobby because of how expensive it can get, im trying to build up 2 1:1 cars atm and id love for one to be finished by Jan next year for Summernats. This weather is starting to aggravate me too, i really wanna spray this body already!

!!!!!!!!!!! one of the best builds ive seen in quite a few weeks, i love it!

Cage all painted up and finished. There's been horrible wet weather here for the last few days so i haven't been able to do any painting on the body, sucks so bad haha.

The HJ Sandman. Such a cool car

Cant be working on anything if hes making threads on the interwebs

Please for the love of god dont paint the engine bay black. It looks killer atm keep us posted.

Im loving all these 68 darts atm, im fairly sure most people on this site have completed one haha.

Well Junkpile, here it is, i used some matches to heat up and quickly bend them into shape, it all fits i tried im just letting some glue dry atm. Definitely my most technical build so far, im going to have to step up the body paint on this one it seems. Edit: Looks sweet as

Yeh mate i was thinking of building a cage but im not so sure on what material i should be building it from? Some aluminium tube would be sweet but its very dear, something like 12 bucks for just a few short rods if i recall correctly.
