  1. I quite agree Lloyd, I fumble a bit and find especially when building the wing structures (putting the wing struts on, using various tools to hold them up, waiting till the glue is half set then adding the top wing and used more props/small & large paint tins I need etc until it's all set) at least two if not three extra hands! Sight wise I have an illuminated magnifier. But the hassle is worth it!
  2. WOW Lloyd, the bike of my hero MotoGP Star Rossi! Very well done, superb!
  3. Thanks Al, from a modelmaker of 60 years who couldn't and wouldn't chance making a real mess of decaling, to one that now sees all matter of images online and prints his own on both clear and white decal paper, and takes every opportunity to use them! I've just finished a Rupp Snow Sport Dragster on 'Other Models' 'All the Rest' wanting to add decals to the model, just by fishing through my old decal stash and just cutting shapes out of old racing and rally cars to enhance the kit image.
  4. Thanks guys. Yes cobraman, what a pain making up all the jockeywheels and the track. To join the rubber track I tried two sorts of glue and they both came appart! So I looked out my mini-stappler and hey presto! here's a few more build pics and two final staged pics of the finished subject.................... fit steering in cab and the three steering arms Fit cab cowl................. There are two seats in the kit this is the rubber one, the other is white plastic.............. Fit rear chrome panel and roll over bar................................ Finished in the cabin....................... Staged.................... A lot of parts, steering arms, steering wheel were chrome plated so I stripped this off and painted white.
  5. The build so far, no paint again,and decals cut from various odds and bits in stash box........... Plus Monster, Fox, 7Up, Skull, Alpinestars & Billabong................... Test fit cowl behind engine and seat. Because this is 1/20 th kit, none of my 1/24 & 1/25 scale racing drivers fit.
  6. Thanks guys. But I don't do any social media but this one! I will research Clearly Scale and contact them, thanks for the tip Dan.
  7. Thanks guys. No the band isn't in there as I am no good at figure painting. But yes the door opens easily, because I was going to put a jet ski in there but can't find a kit one!
  8. Built box stock with a few changes. The first was using the razor saw to remove the moulding on the bonnet. Then using most of the kit, painting in my choice of colours and using the rear panels as separate decal adverts, 7Up, hellaflush, and various surf,BMX,MBC prints. Oh and changing the wheel/tyre combo for Centrelines....

    Thanks David. I'm an import car builder because here in the UK we have no model manufacturers so we have no choice. It's either the USA, which I think has most of it's models are made in China, or with Tamiya, Fujimi etc come from Japan.

    Hi Dann, thanks for your comments but.......................it's a Revell kit!
  12. Thanks guys for your comments. Yes I do build different aircraft. I built all of the WW2 stuff from the age of 8 upwards, so they hold no interest. I'm constantly looking for unusual craft, mainly european or eastern bloc, very interesting.
  13. Built box stock. Although Box art depicts a two tone blue colouring, in all research and the kit instructions show only grey, white, silver, or camo colours were used by the Swidish Royal Air Force. There was also a comprehensive PE sprue.

    This is built box stock, polished plastic with a clear gloss on top, no decals as for me anyway, difficult to decal onto raised embossed logo's........... Perhaps I should have shaved off the logo's, then decalled.
  16. Hey Blair you must have a bus and van production live going on! Superb again.
  17. Superb, I wish I had a school bus like that to take me to school.! Well done Blair.
  18. Thanks Dann. I'm building something at the moment that might be finished by the weekend, but no promises!
  19. Hey Jim that's brilliant, I like your own crazy Scale Auto Parts decals, superb!
  20. Thanks Chris, I'm always looking to do something different!
  21. Cheers Jeff, I thought it would be different to convert it to road use.
