Another of my cheapy ebay 'already started' kits. As it came with 4 sets of USA and other military decals, I thought it a good idea....

Thanks Dann yes a brilliant Snap Kit but all the detail, using the kit decals.

Cheers Dann, yes a kit I'd had for a year, just waiting for the ART Team decals by Colorado to come in and then modify to fit.

Well here are two that I finished last week. A McLaren MP4 12C GT3 2013 and a Porsche 961 of 1989. The McLaren is a Fujimi kit with aftermarket ART Team decals from the Colorado Company and the Porsche is a simple but effective Snap Kit using the kit decals.

I've changed to Fotki after pressure from PB and a threat and request for $399! Fotki have given me a three year contract for 3rd party hosting at $120! So I started using them about two weeks ago. One of our main model sites here in the UK (Locate & Cement)has been taken down by PB! Although I've put new threads on there using Fotki, none of the members have any access at all to the site as it's covered in PB logo's. They are just shysters nothing more or less!

Superb paint and decaling Clay well done. Watching this with interest!

The DTM came to both Silverstone and these cars in their day and Donnington about 10 years ago. Fabulous race series, but unable to see here as it's on BT Sport channel for mega bucks each month. The decaling looks fab!

Change to Fotki $120 for three years!

Looks superb already Andre. I remember as a race/airfield marshall at Silverstone many years ago when these started racing, they were just spectacular!

Thanks guys. yes the tyre decals are just a 1/24th scale aftermarket set bought from either GrandPrix Models at Banbury or Hiroboy out of Cheltenham. I think the manufacturer might be Mr Model, Virage, Hobby Design, Pit Wall, Blue Stuff or Colorado.

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys. I had another a couple of years ago and built it into this.....It was taking so long to get a set of more comprehensive decals.......... I used a camo set and cut up some carbon fibre decal as well!

Thanks guys. Yes the Colorado sets of decals are top quality.

Cheers afx/JC.

Thanks Gary. Yes although I have a stock of tyre decals, I had not seen this one with double decals on each tyre. I couldn't get the Tamiya ones to work as they are the reverse type. But mine are the yellow Dunlop ones so I tried out and it looks great! The McLaren tyre decals are the make on one edge and the tyre info on the opposite edge, also interesting. I also use the tyre logo's on road cars/vans/trucks/beach buggies etc to add a bit more interest.

Thanks Andre It's a Tamiya Kit................

Just a Snap Kit and has full cockpit,seat, roll cage,full dashboard and decals for all gauges, steering wheel and seat belts. Oh and an interesting addition all widow detail decals on the inside! Consider two Le Mans cars 1989 and 2013............

Cheers Don, yes as you can see I like decals!

This was bought through ebay UK in a Fujimi Pacific Racing kit, But with no decals as per the box art.that was already started, in that most of the parts were off the sprues, but none of it was built. I bought Colorado decal sheet for the ART Racing Team. The main bonnet decal was a different shape, so I scanned and printed a second set and cut the decals to fit.

I'd been with PB for over 5 years on a Free 2.1GB deal and had used just 0.6GB! 10 days ago all of my pics on 7 sites that I post to were all wiped off by Photobucket! No warning, no explanation! On trying to talk to a human they sent a robot answer, 'How to deal with troubleshooting?', then 'You need to buy our top priced deal or else', something like $500 per year! I went onto Fotki as I know of no one else who does this 3rd party hosting, and got 3 years for $120. That's good for me as a pensioner! I've since found out from another modeller that he has gone to Imgur for free! Hey Ho, at least I'm back on and have been able to refresh at least my latest posts!

As a Beetle owner x 5 I can see real potential in this one! Well done Dale, with no outward sign of the changes!

Whoa real rusty Chuck! Fabulous finish and heading for the surf, superb!

I've checked my usage: My free storage is 2.1 GB I have used 0.6GB (30%) So why am I blocked? I hope someone can tell me because photobucket are not answering my calls/emails etc! I've even attempted to pay $2.99 or $5.99 per month by paypal but their website doesn't accept my request! I have a Pinterest account which is free so I'll do everything there and ignore the 7 sites I contribute to! Update 02.07.16 changed to Fotki better deal no hassle!

This is a really dirty trick by photobucket, squeezing pensioners for money! I think my modelling days are over if we have this trouble!

Yes they've hit me this week, the same as above! I have a pop up on Photobucket that tells me they want $9.99 per month, I'm in the UK so how much is that in real money! Fotki want the same so it looks like I'm about to close down on all the websites I send to (7) !!! I'm a pensioner so that's killed my modelling! And showing it on all websites!
