noeyedears Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 recently bought (and have now started) tamiyas Mercedes AMG GT3. lovely looking (its a merc) lovely fit (its Tamiya) not so lovely price, especially for a curbside kit (its new and tamiya) Couple of disappointing design choices (you can see right through it in places and needs plasticard adding to cure it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Been having a little fun of late - this little lot totalled out at around £65 Then this little beauty for, curiously, only £25 - have I missed something here? Is it actually a rubbish kit and I've missed the review? Bit concerned I might've bought a "pig"!! Then this, which for me must rank as bargain of the year - though I'm sure better can be done! Generally pretty happy though! Edited February 4, 2018 by Spad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motogpMatt Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Visited addlestone models just before Christmas, would have been rude to walk out empty handed. Looks to be a very nice kit, looking forward to it might do white wheels on it though for something a little different Hope we all had a good Christmas Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Land Rover is certainly not recent well not from that shop (Beatties) they went under in 2001 I think. They used to be a shop in a town near me back in the 70's and just look at that price! I've still got a tube a cement with that sticker on bought back then it still works fine. 7 hours ago, mini man said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini man Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Happy does not come close to how I feel now,by chance went onto ebay and found my all time grail kit - last built it when the movie came out!...... Pic lifted from the net,hence the quality or lack of.... Cost a dammed fortune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 From first view, I have bought maybe the best kit in my 40-odd years of modelling: MFH's 1/43 Alfa TZ2. Beautiful car, gorgeous kit and I guess the natural progression will be something MFH in 1/20 (Porsche 908/3) and then finish off with a 1/12 (Mazda 787B). Unless they bring out something even more glorious in the meantime... But I'm on the bottom rung at least! (last picture courtesy of MFH: rest scanned on my flatbed and missing a few bits which didn't scan so well - clear parts etc). AWESOME. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_ Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Decided to make a replica of a Beetle that my father had in the early 70s as a birthday gift for him. It was an Apple Green 1303s - that of course doesn't quite match any of the available kits looking at the photos I dug out from his albums. I've bought the Aoshima 1303 kit as a base for the body, and the Revell cabrio kit to donate some parts. I think I'm going to get some colour-match auto paint and decant it rather than try to mix my own - pretty expensive way to do it though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannants have it listed as a new arrival (but out of stock) for a ridiculous price compared to what Hobby Search have it for; https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HA20305 Makes me a little sick I sold mine for a tenner at Telford a couple of years back...!!
