Thought i had better stake my claim to a space here for my Tamiya P38J 1/48 I think i might have gone a little overboard with the extras but i will give them a go :-) Eduard will need to change their Logo packaging where they cross out Brass and put Resin...

My MGB had an oil flinger and they were common on early BSA motorcycles. :) This a great build, Hi Tim, anyone can buy the accessories but scratch build is what makes the model yours. Great effort on that strap :-)

Nice build blog paul, looking forward to seeing the progress here. Footnote/ When i was a kid in the 70's we found a JU88 in the woods about a mile from my home. It had gone in and as was often the case it had just been filled in on top with soil. It was a lone night raider shot down by a night...

I used the normal micro set on the Decals i made for a car and ended up with nice white bits of carrier film stuck to it as the setting agent ate the printed ink on my home made decals :-)

well i really did my best but this has beaten me. This is the rear light assembly. the one on the right is shaped and tapered to fit the recess in the body and doesnt look to bad. The one on the left is just another right had side one fitted upside down and simply doesnt fit. They did the same...

Are you sure ? i find Micro sol is much more aggressive than set quote What is the difference between Micro Sol and Micro Set? Micro sol is mostly a softening solution. When applied it softens the decal allowing the decal to "suck" itself to the surface it's applied to. This makes the decal...

Those are both so nice John, Canopy frames and painting in general spot on, joins and seams near perfect, i would be proud to have those on my shelf. 10/10

Bobs at his bench......hooray :) put some props on those engines and its got overtones of your comet racers .....or is it just me

No real problem Bob its just a case of stick them where you want, no mounts or markings to show where they go so just glue to the carpet...lol Cant imagine they would be much good in a crash :)

Once you lose interest in a model you are much more prepared to do things to it you would never normally do. As it happens , once you dont care anymore if you mess it up you relax and just maybe what you do might work. These are the light lenses and surrounds once prized off the hood. What a...

You almost need a jig to keep the whole thing in line, up/down and left/right, you could end up with a banana :-)

You are too kind Paul, i dont think i am any better than most here , i just have more spare time ;-) This evening i have prized the front headlight chrome surrounds off with the lenses and glass covers, i got most of the super glue off, cleaned the inside of the glass, chiselled away at the...

Thats an interesting site James, thanks for sharing. So do i prize the lights out, clean up the hood and respray, spray the chrome bits chrome again, polish the light lenses and dip them in future to get back where i was yesterday ?... and try and re assemble.

I am wondering about converting it to a roadster. Trouble is the Rear end is £100 which is almost as much as the whole kit ... Rust over all the blemishes could be an option I need to have a serious think...lol EDIT ha ha just seen the picture Piet :-) maybe i dont need to go that far with...

I haven't decided yet Bob this is the way to go on a future build. There is a guy in the UK making a resin back for this kit so its a roadster. The huge advantage with this is.....no windows, no roof and easy access to the interior for trim. Then build it as a track car and you can dump...

This where i have got too. Its not the models fault but if i join the front to the back it doesnt even fit on my work bench :)

Thanks but considering scrapping this now. Not happy with much of it TBH. If i cant look back at a build and think , yes, happy with that i dont see a lot of point in carrying on The chrome surrounds around the headlights dont really fit, they have to follow a really strange shape and they...

My Yamaha FZR1000 undergoing maintenance. :cool: looks like a FW190 and an ME 109 there as well. cant remember , that was 25 years ago :)

Thanks Paul I will make do with what i have, the rest of the model doesnt really warrant any real effort :-) Its far less noticeable from the outside so will live with it.

Who hasn't built an NCR in front of their wardrobe ? A Ducati 250 in the sitting room Of built a Harris kit bike at the end of the bed ? Yes i am single....and i love it :cool:
