  1. Wow, I really love the paint job, it looks like a new style road map! I've bought one of the Fujimi McLaren sports racers and ordered 'sharp' camo in black & white!
  2. Next is the interior............ And the Dash............... The windows come in 3 pieces the two sides that fit on the outside and the front and rear which is in one moulding fitted from the inside......................... The paint masks are also supplied................... With all of the windows in the Scuttle/ windscreen wipers, is fitted up the the edge of the front screen.......................... With radiator and headlights................. The front is next with the black moulded grill and numberplate................... Some more later tomorrow.
  3. I've been so busy today in the cabin, so I thought I'd update now instead of tomorrow................. Now going on the above photo with the matt black wings/fenders I've painted mine...................... And test fitted them............................ Sorry about the leg,it was hot here today (Unusual) And a few more pics to come..................
  4. The body after paint and removal of masking................................ Also the bonnet and boot lid................................. I tried carbonfibre decal but it flaked off the next morning........................... The finished underside of the chassis with all of the components............................ More tomorrow.
  5. Hi jb, yes there are lots of bits in the box to cover the variants, but instructions only for this Japanese RB Version.......... I've also seen the engines advertised here but they all seem to be sold out and on back order! I research on google 'images of' etc and there are hundreds of pics, including a you tube promo video! The rear end with prop, suspension, disks.etc........................ The exhaust system with suitable painting of bends and joints with clear blue acrylic....................................... The bodyshell ready for metalic red Plasti-Kote rattle can. The masking is to aid adding the wings/fenders with no scraping of paint................... More to come...................
  6. There is a choice of 'stances' and I have chosen the cambered suspension version. I have painted the disk calipers yellow where the instructions suggest both brake disks and calipers be aluminium......................... The wheels were alloy painted from the box and I have painted them satin black..................... Thi is the bottom of the 'dummy' engine and gearbox with the suspension, hubs and steering................... I understand an engine can be bought separately and fitted as both bonnet and boot lid are ready hinged. More tomorrow.
  7. I started this kit last week.................... It has a double depth box as it can depict, USA, Euro and Japanese Toyota 86 and it's Scion equivalent. Lots of parts......................... In this build I shall use this photo as a guide, just with metalic red paint.
  8. Super British classic sports car. Well done Unfortunately Miss Rigg's co-star Patrick Macnee died just last week.
  9. Neat little Euro-Cabrio, Looks very good.
  10. Super cool British sports car! Looks fantastic, well done! There will be a few of these at the British F1 race this weekend just 5 miles from where I'm sitting! Road cars that is.
  11. It's really looking good so far. Another great build on the way!
  12. I'm not a drag racing fan but it just shows what we can do in modelling to build a car using imagination, extra parts and perhaps a few scratchbuilding skills as well! It looks great so far, so aggresive. I'll be watching this build right through.
  13. Superb Jason, I see a few of these each week with Mercedes-Benz UK HQ just up the road!

    Hi jb,I'll see if I can get the other pics back. Yes I painted on the yellow line only to have the No. 19 decals collapse under Microsol! I used Revell Clear on the bug screen on the bonnet, it tends to be tacky so holds a little, I then laid one of my thin hobby files behind it and left it overnight to cure. There you go jb all pics back!

    Thanks guys, that word Ultraman crops up again Wilson, has anyone got a photo of the box please? Yes Chuck go for it. I also spotted this on Pinterest yesterday...................... Stanced and slammed!
  17. I've still got one of the original Heller Norton Commando's on my shelves. A neighbour bought a Norton Dominator '88' when his dad won the 'Football Pools' back in the 60's, he was old enough to ride it on the road, I wasn't! So I rode on the back.
  18. Another of your great looking stanced builds. Well done.

    Thanks guys, yes the car was very good in competition with such a small engine, typical Japanese efficiency. Yes I also like out of the ordinary vehicles.
  23. This was an endurance racer during the 1960's, this version raced in 1968 the year I was married..................
  24. As with the other post, superb dio as well. Yes when I take pics outdoors I normally get something that I didn't want that's far out of scale!
  25. Nice project, looks just great!
