Then here is the simple response " Because thats the way "I" wanted "MY" kit painted" that should have been evident ? and you don't start a simple question with "Ill buy the fact you painted the bumpers white" like your expecting a explaination....

Well harry I was building the kit for me not for you...not a very pleasant comment from a administrator? sorry you don't like the color combo... and for those who are interested the kit is common on ebay it's 1/24 scale plastic by GUNZE SANGYO other than that IDK it's in that funny squigly writing...

After taking a break from kit building for a few weeks I finished this 1956 VW... and was reminded why I need the break... this little kit gave me a good share of problems but...that is what i love most about the hobby...

Very Cool!!!! way to recycle

A full roll cage is in the plans along with alot of sheet metal...

Lookin good "hey hand me one of them beers"

i got the wheels on ebay and i recieved them out of there package so idk the mfg

After the removal of the roof line and ground effects.... oo yeah and i shortend the fenders.... this is my first real modification of this type so bear with me...

About a week ago i started a forum about "Why did i buy this" well i found out why... The frame and body are warped... but with some cutting and some modifications this P.O.S. Explorer might make one heck of a BAJA contender.... I decided to remove the back half of the roof line from the rear seat wimdows to the gate... as well as the oem ground effects... then rase the fenders for wheel clearance....

nice build

model

WOW! thats all just WOW!

Very nice but i think i would have slaped some nicer wheels on that bad girl....

Have you ever bought a kit and wondered why you bought it in the first place??? $8.00 impulse buy... show me your "Why Did I Buy This Kit?"

when it happens to me i have to free up some space try deleting some of you pics

I would like to say Happy Memorial Day and to give thanks to all on this site that have served in our armed forces, and say thank you for your service and sacrafices you indured... and to those that lost loved ones in the service of our country, we all owe you a debt that can never be repayed....."Please God galvanize our protectors so that they may be unscathed by the evil of our enemy"

This is my second love after my wife hope it is helpful to someone....and yes it is a clone....

I felt my Z28 needed a little more power so i shoe horned in a Big Block Chevy 588 ci.... maybe it's a little much????? NAAAAAAAA!!!

It's summer all the time here in SWFLA....

Very nic build i hope to be as skilled someday...

Ok now that my question about the type of engine was taken care of by you very knowledgable people , I am now looking for ideas on what to do... I am not really a dump truck fan so much as an IH fan.. so give me some direction on ways to go or what you like? How about a wrecker or flatbed car hauler... or post apocalypse road monster.....i have so many things i want to do i cant focus on one....

Thank you all for the very helpful info iam excited about this build but i don't think i will do it box stock... maybe ill turn it in to a wreaker or somthing may be ill start a post about that and get more great feedback...

thank you guys this kit is going to be fun with no instructions...

Ok i purchased a 1/24 AMT IH Paystar 5000 and i want this to be my most detailed build yet, and not to mention it will be my first big rig ever. so as iam researching this model of dump truck and cross referencing the parts in the kit iam un clear about the engine in this kit it doesnt look like a N-14 or M-11 Cummins.... or a 3406, 3406E CAT? does anyone know if this is a mistake in the kit or there other power plants for this rig???
