Cheers Sam.
-
Thanks Bill. Yes a superb car to drive still, 50 years later!
-
How do I pm? Harry or Casey who?
-
I'm confused. Firstly this thread shows 'no replies' when clearly there are ten. Secondly the thread has been moved. Thirdly there's no area on this forum to query things to find out why these are wrong!
-
Really good, I've been looking at that for a while now on the Star Models site. Now I see what it's like, very good
-
Well thanks guys I didn't know that it would be so popular!
-
Now that is really rough and good. Well done.
-
Now that's different and beautiful!
-
Cheers 62rebel, yes it's not too bad. The plastic is pretty soft and the instructions are not quite straightforward. I would have fitted the doors better if I'd had test fitted them before putting the wings (fenders) on.
The glass in the front doors slides up and down nicely.

And these are the other few................
It is also the first time for me to paint whitewalls.
-
I finished this today. As the body is too big for my paintbooth I polished the body with micro-gloss.............
And a few more pics to come............

OK Michael I'll continue to watch your build with great interest! I've got the Toyota 86 with all the bits plus two extra packs of wide arches (fenders) coming from HLJ. Hopefully I can fit the extra arches to a few Porsche 911's I have on the shelf!
-
OK William thanks very much.
-
I sent an email to Replicas & Miniatures about 10 days ago about buying one of these kits and sending to me in the UK but no answer as yet.
-
I like the idea so...................
Is it going to look something like this?
-
Thanks for putting this on here Greg, I've just looked at the build on the highlighted link, fantastic!
-
Hi Delfin I've gone a bit newer for my next build, I've ordered the Toyota 86 Greddy & Rocket Bunny Enkai S Package and two extra sets of arches for future builds from HLJ.
-
Now this looks evil....................and fun in the same breath! Interesting thing is I've just bought a few Brass/PE Kirkey seats from DirtModeler, which I understand are used in this type of vehicle! I shall definitely be watching this thread to the end!
-
As I had a lot of these around on the day, years ago, the windscreen is too small and the body can be easily modified to sort this. A larger thin piece of acrylic sheet can be cut to add the larger screen.

Superb Carl thanks for sharing!
-
These look fantastic. Like me you seem to like one or two decals on your models! My BMW GT3 in VDS decals is on this section.
-
I've just ordered the Toyota 86 Greddy & Rocket Bunny Enkai Version which includes these, also ordered two sets (in 2 packs) of just the wheel arches from HobbyLinkJapan.
I remember using something similar years ago.
The thing to take into consideration is that time must be taken to 'form' the wings/fenders to fit the body shape exactly before gluing into place, and of course cutting the right amout out of the wheel arch beforehand. Sorry if that sounds childish to mention it that way but there is no offence intended.

Thanks John. I liked the mesh PE sections, shaping them around the back has to be right so takes a little while.
The wing uprights are folded then CA glued into the slots provided, once set drop the wing on and CA again and once they are set pop on the end plates. I didn't paint the PE like some do because it looks the part.

Holy Moly I've just picked up on this! What a fantastic build. I've not looked at this section before, only looking here as my Citroen DS 19 was moved here without my knowing where it had gone.
Superb work David and thanks for sharing the build.
