Does somebody know how to convert an AMT '53 Corvette in one of his Show Car "uncles", the Corvair? I had no time to buy a Mini Exotics transkit when it was available...

Thank you very much for your info! I am already collecting all the material I need...

How can I convert a 1/25 Nomad Chevy into a 1/25 "marvelous" Waldorf Nomad Corvette?

Hi Pico, my hopes are increasing now... so if Bob Sheldon can sell me a 810 sedan Cord body, how can I contact him directly to arrange things? thank you very much

Hi John, do you have Bob Sheldon's email? I NEED a Cord 810 sedan body... thank you very much

Hi Peter, can you tell me how to contact Mr. Shelton, please? Thank you very much

Hi Curt, I am looking for a resin 810 Cord 4-door sedan and some Duesenberg stuff, and found here that a modeller Art Anderson did it, but for my tremendous surprise learned he is in prison for child pornography!... something I just do not... well, I don't know what to say... But I also learned that Herb Deeks did or does some 810 sedan bodies... do you know how can I contact him? he seems to be a little "stelthy"... thank you very much

Art, do you still have one of your sedan bodies, specially the flatback you might sell me? I was waiting for some photoetches for a couple Duesenbergs and also some tyre sets when Guido had the tragic accident in Germany, so my order never came… this Cord sedan body (yours I know now) and also the 1933 J Weymann speedster kit (or transkit, I don’t remember very well now what it was) that he (or with your “help”…) was expecting to lunch after coming home… Do you still have some of this items? Thank you very much

Hi Eric, The guy that made these transkits is(or was) Guido Fuieux(?), that unfortunately had a tragic ski accident in Germany when he went to that annual Frankfurt models expo, and became tetraplegic, so he had to end his modeling activity... but being an architect, he started this activity with the use of Autocad; I hope he is till around... these facts where toldto me once by a Spanish young man that, being also in a wheel chair, had an internet shop, Spotmodel (that was sold for the actual owner after his death), who also used to sell Scalekraft Transkits (this was Guido's brand). I did have a pending purchase of some Monogram Duesenberg PEtch and other stuff Guido would send me after coming home after that expo... I was also planing to order him a 810 Westchester 4-door Sedan Cord resin body... His site was still in the net for some months, but I never got any answer to my mails... these facts about him, a learned it some 5 or 6 years after the accident. Now, can you give some way to track one of these 810 Westchester 4-door Sedan Cord resin bodys for my expecting Monogram kit? thank you very much PS: Scalekraft had a great collection of fantastic kits and transkits, sometimes more than one every year, it is a great loss for us modellers...

Is there someone out there who has some images of the D/XKSS Jaguar, Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland, RM-208 resin Dunlop wheels? and proper Dunlop tires to fit these wheels? The best (in fact I can say the best) are FISHER MODELS* D Jaguar's...and I am proud to say I do have one of his D Jags but... unfortunately I have also two Revell XKSSs and a short nose 1956 MERIT D, and both wheels/tires are absolutely disgusting - well, MERIT's are 63 years old, so we can not blame it, but Revell´'s... I also have a white metal K&R Models D JAG set but... although not as bad as the ones above, well... they are far from being acceptable, specially these toy like tires, as bad as Gunze Sangyo 250 GTO/ E jaguar's! * FISHER MODELS do not sell it's magnificent Dunlop wheels separately... Thank you very much

Hi Jürgen, If it can help everybody, you in particular, I did buy a few years ago a resin W196 stromlinenwagen 1/24 body, a very crude one in fact made probabily by Resilient Resins, for sure made for slot racing purposes, as the wheel arches had to be "dremelled" to fit any rolling chassis, wich I am "tayloring" to sit on a Revell 300 SLR, so that is why I bumped in your thread about your wire wheeling metod that makes us breathless! After this, only UTOPIA... the back to front crossed wire wheels, such as the 250 LM ferrari ones... I will try to post a few photos of my stromlinienwagen soon...

Well, thank you all three friends specially Art, as his method seems to be "the best solution" for now...I had been thinking for a while on using that teflon tape used on plumbing, but as it does not glue on the wheel, probably when puting the tyre it would sleep and uncover the plastic again...(would it glue to plastic with white glue?) Steven, you are a lucky guy! Well, you probably make only american made kits, and probably tyre and kit materials do "combine" with each other; Till now with me it hapenned with ESCI (Italian made) and with REVELL (Germany)... Thank you all for now

It is the second time I found that the tyre I did put on its wheel to see how it matched with when I first opened the kit box ( ESCI Porsche 934, and REVELL Jaguar XKSS), when I opened it again to start the building a few years later, a nasty chemical reaction did hapen, melting the plastic of the wheel, which remains soft for ever...
