MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Thank you all!... in the other image, the holes seem to be open...
  2. I think the order of the two images should be inverted, as in the second, there are some suggested places where to open holes, and in the first the holes are now open...
  3. Thank you, Steve "Junk", Yes, I already new the Starfighter decals which I intend to buy if I find the wheels, or if I decide/dare to scratch ones... for now I will contact them to see if they have any clue about or where to find it... I also have(?) the possibility to ask Jason from Jack Modelling to make it, but, if in the beginning, he did work very well, he even made me some special wheels for an extra 5 Euros, nowadays it is very difficult to contact him, via eBay or via email... I can explain this particular "topic" if you (or to all modellers, of course) want me to, as I have some valuable information about wire wheels for Ferraris...
  4. Strange, you say, Bill? well, what about these:
  5. Hello, bought recently an AMT Chaparral (2) 1/24 kit, and found that it is not based in the COX body, the only one I knew about... In fact I do have an HRM Chaparral 2 kit (based on the Cox body); and, I also found that this AMT body is perfect to be used as a base for a special car, the Nassau 1964 GOLD STAR version I would like very much to have but, as to make it from the HRM/COX body would need some heavy modifications, I did put the idea in the "freezer"... in that time I remember to see somewhere some wheels that would fit but, as then I did not know about the Starfighter decals for it, I did forget these wheels "location"... Is there anybody who could help me with this problem?
  6. Thank you very much, Todd! I am going to get as much images as I can to send to the man...
  7. Is there anybody making the pale blue #76 Mancuso Greenwood Corvette - Watkins Glen 1977 decals in 1/24 scale? PLEASE?
  8. Well, he did! sorry to answer only no... Thank you very much!
  9. Did somebody try to build this kit (without building instructions, this brand never offers a building instruction plan)?
  10. Hi, Eric, I'm afraid that your Lindberg MGA is in 1/32 scale... to my knowledge, Lindberg never did this MGA in 1/24 scale, and, as far as I know, MGA appeared in 1/24 only twice: by STROMBECKER in 1959/60 as a slotcar, and, in recent years, as a diecast kit, by Wills Finecast/ later Southeastern Finecast, but both has desapeared a few years ago... another company bought Southeastern, but they told me that a new mould is needed so...
  11. Hi, Gary, this https://www.ebay.com/itm/364205032224 place, from Bill Allphin, Mr. gtx6970, did have a '50 resin body, and I am pleased to announce that it is now "on the move"!... Although I had some difficulties to find the wheels and correct "dishes" for my '55, the Cunningham car did run on standard steel wheels, without dishes , and I believe I have one set somewhere, and the tub will be easy to make by the '55 model, as they are probably identical... let's see what I can do when I get the body... thank you very much!
  12. "Did anybody ever tried to convert a Modelhaus1955 Cadillac Coupe DeVille to get the Le Mans 1950 , series 61, "Le Petit Pataud"?
  13. Hi Gary, do you know any one who had converted the Modelhaus 1955 Coupe Deville to become this 1950 Series 61 Le Mans "Petit Pat Hi Gary, do you know anyone who have converted the Modelhaus 1955 Coupe DeVille (I do have one) to become the Le Mans 1950 "Le Petit Pataud"?
  14. Well, I´m afraid I have no good news about we all that expect to have a 1/24 MGA model in our shelves... this is the answer from Squirestools, the new owners of SEFCast I got two days ago: "The A211 MGA 1500 is currently marked as N/A on the price list, meaning that it is currently not in production, I believe that it requires new moulds. We are working on getting our existing stocks back up to level. Once this is complete we will start working on getting obsolete kits back into production. However due to the fact that this will require a full set of new moulds (assuming that we have all suitable masters to do this) this may still take years to complete. I realise that this is not what you are wanting to hear, however the kit that you are enquiring about unfortunately has not been in production for several years do to the previous owner of South Eastern Finecast having limited interest in the model Car kits. We will be aiming to get these kits back on sale, however please appreciate that this may not be as simple as it appears." CASE CLOSED...
  15. Hey, you do keep your eye on the money! well, I was asking about wheels, not wells ( a place where I would plunge if I where definitively forbidden to build any model kit...), Wheels and tires is for me DE most difficult difficulty to overcome! if you put your SWB over a 120 grit metal sanding paper, I am sure you will get that magic sensation you are just looking for a real car but, if the wheels are not convincing at all... On the other hand, I might say that, for once, some fantastic plastic wire wheels have been maid, the PROTAR Ferrari 250 GTO ones! more recent Revell copies are not as good, as they are chromed, not painted as Protar's... Protar/Revell tires are kept for some eventual Jeep... in my unfinished 250 GTO '64, tires came from an Academy 250 LM, it's as they where made for these wheels!...
