I think my MP4-31 arrived but when I went to the post office yesterday they were closed. Will have to wait until next Tuesday. Well, I couldn't wait so I took the Ducati for a spin and picked up the McLaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good idea injidup or maybe just a whole porsche sports car build as I have alot stored up needing the motivation to get them started.

MikeGTC Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Last 2 kits for this year, but already got another kit comming next week Brian's Eclipse: And I want to build the second kit I ever build again. I did rebuild it a few years ago, but that one didn't survive the move and I really like the 599. Unboxing picture's of this one here: 599 GTB Fiorano unboxing And also got a new wheel set for this one, the kit wheels just don't look right...

FG2Si Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I just picked up a pair of older Honda kits: I have the RC version of the CR-X, also by Tamiya and the NSX is a do over for me. My first try was when the kit first came out and it's mostly decals for the "paint work". Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jampton Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Gents First post on this tread and apologies for the non F1 fans. I must have been a good boy last year as Santa left me these babies, both came from Japan with a surprisingly quick delivery. I'm hoping to start the MP4/2 later this month, if I can get my backside into gear, and almost certainly with PE extras and CF decals. I'll save the FW14b till later in the year, bearing in mind I do about 2 models a year and now have a stash of 13 cars, I'll have up my game. As if this wasn't enough a few days before the break I won (and for a very reasonable price) a Hasegawa 1976 Ferrari 312t which pairs nicely with the 312t2 I bought last Febuary. I'm tempted to build the pair at once but wary about getting into confused and switching parts, I'm sure most of the parts under the cowling are the same but until I look a bit closer, I'll be non the wiser.

Pete in Lincs Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I decided I needed a couple of car kits in the stash, though I have no idea when I will get time to build them! I got Amazon vouchers for Crimbo so used them to purchase these two... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Revell-06112-Build-Play-Police/dp/B00TK0BOR4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483556325&sr=8-2&keywords=revell+car+model+kits+police+car https://www.amazon.co.uk/Revell-Monogram-Go-Mad-Plastic-Multi-Colour/dp/B00LG06UMK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483556409&sr=8-1&keywords=revell+model+kits+nomad Prices have gone up since but I think I got both for well less than 20 pounds. The Police car was really just to see what it's all about and what can I do with it. The Nomad because it's bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was given a built one that had been smashed by a moggy, but it's kinda too far gone, the model, not the moggy. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 They seem to be cheaper in NZ - I paid 50 NZD for mine (which isn't bad for a Tamiya bike kit at local prices) - but I noticed they were dear on eBay. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shood23 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Picked up a tamiya Williams fw24 2002 f1 car, really detailed for a mid 2000s f1 car with lots of room to improve too. Also it comes with a second set of decals so I can revive an old build I did of the same car a few years ago. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John It was indeed John I got the kit and s27 decal set for under £30, which will turn into having 2 kits made up for under that price. I'm thinking one full detail with the floor and wheels off on its stand and one with everything on as a pre raced car or maybe like I just said but next to each other in a garage scene, the possibilities are endless lol Shaun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jampton Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Shaun, I was tempted bidding for that one myself but stopped just in time as I'd just got the 312t. Look forward to seeing this progress, it's a great looking car. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
