C1 stuff is quality. Chris does a lovely job

The range does a pack of lenses in their craft section. They are round with a silver sticky backing, sized 4 and 5mm in diameter.

This does indeed happen, I have a 1/12 tamiya Lola T70 and the tyres have turned to mush, also the tyres used in the revell xkss will melt the kit plastic if they are loose in the box. Resin replacements may be your only solution.

just come across this thread. some of the kits in 1/24th are now quite collectable and expensive for a toe in the water excercise. A much admired present day kit seems to be the beemax bmw m3 touring car. sells for around 34 quid. apparently goes together great and looks great too. tamiya mini is a nice kit too.

well done mark, it looks brilliant.

i totally agree, a good primer and a well known top coat. here in the uk, i would use halfords paints. you can always step up in the future to airbrushing.

fully agree with noel. Ian and Rod have shown me their moggy, its the best that is available today and will save you so much work.

Porsche 917 - What are the options?

I agree, the heller version of the kit is the better representation of the shape of the 917k. What we have to remember is that the kit was done in the seventies so it does have a few compromises, with a little care and attention it can be made into a nice model, I built my model over 25 years ago and still show it on displays. The fujimi kit is far too wide at the front and this mistake throws the whole car out, although it is a nice model. Also consider buying the heller Ferrari 512s for a similar experience.
