Windy37 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Not a kit as such , but a transkit from Renaissance to convert Tamiya’s Impreza into a gravel car . Great detailing in these parts and it was ordered from Spotmodels on Sunday evening and arrived , by Royal Mail , today . Great service by all concerned !  Gary . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FG2Si Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) I've got a 1/12 Doyusha Countach in the stash which comes with the raised 5 holes rims. I much prefer the smooth faced version that the later cars came with so I contacted a vendor (Demon Resin) on eBay and he made some for me. He wanted to do some rims for the Trumpeter 1/12 GT40 and since I had that kit in my stash, I sent the kit wheels and tires to him to use as a template. He sent back a set of wheels for that kit as well   The best bit was I also sent the rims from my old Tamiya 1/12 MP4/6 kit and he made new tires for that as well as the required spacers to make them fit the kit wheels.   Not only did I get a set of slicks but also a set of rain tires on resin rims so I now have the option of going to either setup.   Compared to the kit tires, this is a huge improvement. Just a bit out of round.   I started the kit back in '93 and the original tires have degraded over time. Now I stand a better chance of finishing it.  Edited April 11 by FG2Si Fix typo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It has been a while since I posted in this thread but that is because I haven't been spending much on cars, having achieved my aim of having every 1/32 Airfix car kit. However, I couldn't resist another purchase: Airfix 1/32 Morris Marina (03405-0)  I already have one in my stash and the price paid for that one was the most I have ever paid for a kit. This boxing was almost £30 cheaper than the other one so I couldn't resist it. As Airfix damaged the original moulds for this kit and it can never be produced again, the price of these kits will increase over time. Even so, I intend to make this one.  Dave 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern_northerner Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Just bought these 3 to add to the ever growing stash. The sf70h also have full s27 carbon and the f2008 has the full decals for the ciggy logos The 550 is IMHO one of the best looking ferraris made and to have a lemans/gt version just made it better.   SN 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted Friday at 06:32 Share Posted Friday at 06:32 Thanks Redstaff I'll keep your offer in mind! Where did you get the Bastos decals from? I used similar on a Porsche 911. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used similar on a Porsche 911. No problems, can't remember to be honest. Maybe Spot model or Ebay? But they weren't Bastos decals, they were Lancia Chardonnet now I've had a look back on my builds 🙄  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking becuase I'm sure I remember from a few years ago seeing about a manufacturer (forget which one, but it looks as though it would have been Heller) producing plain versions so people could have the option of getting decals of various versions of the car without the manufacturer going to the expense of producing a set of decals destined for the bin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy37 Posted Saturday at 20:15 Share Posted Saturday at 20:15 It was a very reasonable £29.95 , free postage off B Bay . It is the tarmac spec car , even though the box shows a gravel car . I have plans for it already ..... Gary . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted Monday at 13:32 Share Posted Monday at 13:32 I think I already confessed my dump truck addiction earlier in this thread...   It never hurts to have another one. The big Autocar, the front fenders, the big dump body... totally love it. I paid a very good price for it on the marketplace. Just wondering what "montone" means 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiroboy has just two types/logo's of decals for this kit, and Scalemates some others. DModels have a Petter Solberg rallycross set, and various others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
