Séan Pádraig Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Couldn't resist these beauties especially at Hiroboy discount prices.... I had a 1974 model 2002 in white but will be building this as the box art. My all time favorite race car the E30 M3... I actually got two of these but want a 3rd as I want to build the box art version but also the Macau GP winner and the B&H Australian Touring car version. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Does the 2002 have a right hand drive option? I fancy one to do as an historic rally car. After I build the other 200 or so car kits I've still got in stock...!! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Séan Pádraig Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 No LHD option however it looks like a straight forward conversion... my own one was a facelifted version (square rear light) which is also not an option. I hear a 2002 turbo version is coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shood23 Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 I have an addiction please help. I notice the new beemax brabham bt52 come on to hiroboy today for only £33 So couldn't turn down a 1/20 f1 at that price. What annoyed the wife was the fact I also added the upgrade set and colour matched paint. Shaun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 My nephew has that exact 70 Chevelle, same color and everything. It was his graduation gift from high school. We found it rusting away in a field near Auburn. Took my brother about 9 weeks to restore it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 1974 model 2002 in white but will be building this as the box art. This all happened before the internet. We had one of these dropped off at the shop to be restored in the late 90s. It was white with a black interior. The customer never came back to pay for it and pick it up. Here in the States, after a few months you can legally assume ownership if a customer abandons a car. So we had it retitled and contacted the local BMW dealership to find out if it was worth anything. They told us no. So we had it crushed. A few days later the BMW dealership called up offering to take it off our hands. They hung up on us when we told them it had already been recyled. It wasn't until Wheeler Dealers started airing on US television that we realized what we had done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 I can confirm I am well and truly in the dog house for this one. One of mfh's unlisted projects. A 1/20 version of the Ferrari SF70-H. This will look very nice next to the big 1/12 version. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 That would be KERBside then? I have been told I have eyes like a house* Rat. After setting up at Telford, (it was done by just after 3pm) I went walkabout. I lifted an Italeri 1/24 scale Volvo 760 (never seen one before) A Revell Cadet series 1/43? Morris 1000 Traveller. The jewel was a Bandai 1/20 motorised Ford Capri 1600GT. (right hand drive) Those who are aware of this know it was manufactured in very small numbers before Hales upset Bandai over UK sales, only a handful ever reached our shores. Anyone with some vital body organs, or a very attractive and available female relative may begin grovelling, if they wish to own this! *other outdoor venues are available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt I haven't looked through the sv kit yet but from the aventador roadsters I made at the start of the year the windcreen was fine. And the big Ferrari is moving forward but very slowly as I am just sorting out a few of the front suspension parts before I go any further with the body just to save aggro later.

motogpMatt Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Mine appears to have a small Nick in it where it's come lose from the sprue should be fixable though. Have made a start this morning on the body and so far what an enjoyable kit! Looking forward to seeing more on the big one mate oh and I think I've worked out posting photos So possibly when I have a bit more show I may start a WIP for the SV, anyone interested??
