What CAR/BIKE kits have you recently bought 2?
mbdesignart replied to shood23's topic in Vehicle Discussion
One of these arrived the other day from the very nice people at Jadlam Racing. As ever it's going to end up being chopped into little pieces, mostly 88" long๐ Featuring a whole new chassis. -
Thanks for the likes. I won't mention the deliberate mistake on the driver's seat supports. I really should have read the instructions!

This comparison video may be of use click HERE They appear to be readily available across the pond.

Another nail in the coffin for mathematicians? Now where's my model makers abacus? ๐ค

An excellent build and with the bespoke/scratch items you've certainly created a unique model. Great attention to detail, despite the battles along the way, congrats on getting there.

Make a Bond Bug out of it. ๐ -
A little update. After having the opportunity to get the decals printed along with some others they are now on and the body can now be clear coated. This build is for a client hence the choice of livery. The interior is coming along too with the addition of the seats and the door cards have been completed with handles/winders, I forgot to take a pic of those. Those who know their Transits may get excited at the grille inserts for another version.

Transit Mk1 Supervan. The clearest image of the sticker is when the van is in the showroom. Not much of a game if I give you all the clues? ๐๐

No images of the real thing then?

Late 1970's Transit Mk1, promo vehicle.

Here's another fuzzy image to tax those little grey cells. If anyone can point me at a clear image I'd be greatful. The clue is FORD

Whilst looking for reference material I came across this http://www.spiritracerclub.org/mini-moke-mule-de-course-ou-a-tout-faire/ Some very strange and some barely recognisable takes on the Moke, and some that just made me laugh out loud.

Thin acetate sheets, in varying thicknesses, in book formare available from various arty-farty companies, available from online sellers. Coming in book from they are unscratched, unlike sheets in your LMS that appear to have been interlaced with sandpaper and the sweepings off the shop floor.

Sat sitting watching a space. I had a look at the Ford Testing YouTube video, very enlightening, very grainy. Keith and tech! ๐

Thanks for the responses. I am also looking at other events and schemes beyond those the kit provides, Ulster and Manx rallies and gravel stage where other tyres apart from slicks were used. There are photos where I can see heavily treaded tyres with deeper sidewalls, but as Windy37/Gary stated photo evidence in any clarity is sadly lacking. I have a contact who rallied a Cosworth both in the UK and abroad but he's not answering emails so I'm stuck in a rut. I shall look at the sources suggested.

I'm trying to find information for gravel tyres for this car, despite trawling the internet of truth detail is scant. The wheel diameter for gravel appears to be 16" but as to tyre size and tread pattern for the Michelins and Pirellis of the period my search has proved fruitless. If anyone can enlighten me with tyre dimensions and photos of tread patterns I'd be overjoyed, In the meantime some resin treaded wet tarmac tyres to fit the kit rims have fallen off a 3D printer near me. Look below for more on those...

reference for 1973 rally car decal
mbdesignart replied to modelbautony's topic in Vehicle Discussion
From Works Escorts in Detail by Graham Robson there is a Mk1 with a blue triangle with thin red lightning flash with white lettering below reading 'BATTERY MASTER SWITCH' this is rotated 90 degrees clockwise from horizontal. In your image the pull switch could be fitted through the lightning bolt, masking it. -
That well known pairing are back, this time saving the day by thwarting the Chocolate Bomber. Merry Christmas to one and all.

I did too. The collection of Rally Cars video was, for my interests, much more interesting. I wish I had a shed that contained more than a lawnmower๐ข A very enrertaining series, well done JS. -
