Please keep up the good work it's looking fantastic!

Wow another super job Matt. I've joined Heller Forever having recently built a few , one a classic racing car and a Van. Well done again! I think my eyesight now would let me down on the small stuff!

Superb Matt, having built numerous 1/43 rd's over 30+ years of metal, plastic and resin, this looks special well done!

Cheers Brizio.

Thanks guys.

Thanks Randy, But I've no where to run it here and can't buy spares or accessories either in the UK.

Yes I bet! We only had 1/32 Scalextric or 1/64 Aurora here in the UK, nothing as big as 1/24th.

THanks again Carl.

Thanks Randy, must've been great on the slot car track!

Thanks Jonathan. I used Humbrol Purple Spray Can.

Thanks Craig, yes the decals are a task and a half.

Thanks Jason. Yes they were especially when after building and painting the body, you look at the decal sheet and realise that the advertising decal at the front of the doors is one piece . So therefore being shocked that the rest of the decal starting with the number 29 is one piece right to and over the rear wheel arch! Plenty of soaking in warm water and using a large bristle model brush also soaking the side of the car to stop the decal snagging on a dry surface during the lay-up! Then breathing afterwards! I normally lay-up all decals on a body before fitting to the chassis. In this case realising that some of the decals overlap the glass, fit all windows first then fit the body to the chassis. But I normally clearcoat before assembly to make sure the decals don't dry and fall off! I've had a few older kits do that in the past. So lay up all decals, await to dry, find a large head craft brush and carefully paint on the clear coat from a small Humbrol tin! And it worked far better than I first imagined!

Yes they said the cheque for $37 would take 8-10 weeks!

Thanks MarkJ. Yes the closure of Scale Auto was a big shame. I've tried to recover my subscription, although they've said OK I've had no refund as yet!

Thanks guys, no the decals weren't easy but satisfying when completed!

Firstly...I love decals, then again it's a good job! Built box stock..

What will you do with the diecast Willys? I've always shied away from diecast's because everything is already done.

Over the years we've seen numerous Anglia rods like this on their way to our local drag strip at Santa Pod. Superb build, a very nice change to the usual Anglia dragster, well done!

Just some decals on a Cartoon Nascar build.. I shall just check the bottom of this one tomorrow and put some decal juice on there to smooth things out. Why don't the instructions tell us to put the chrome hood pins on 'after' the decals!

Thanks guys, yes it's much too clean! I don't know what happens where you live but the taxi's here in the UK seem not to have indicators fitted either!

Same here guys!

Again from ebay UK.......

Thanks Bruce.

Cheers Chris.

Thanks Bill.
