Looks like it should be a nice kit at least. Carl I have the original REWE boxing - it's a nice kit with plenty of detail, especially with the detail PE set 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will be black over black with a black interior... Also got the shipping notice for my Huracan Performante from HobbyEasy. best, M. @cmatthewbacon Is that the Feb 19 edition with the yellow Porsche on the cover? Regarding the 68 kit, the shell doesn't actually have a vinyl top even though it shows one on the box. Unless you fancy adding one somehow, it just has a smooth metal top. I would have swapped the vinyl topped shell from my 69 kit but I've already sanded it smooth 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Well... I guess I am now officially leaning towards trucks... I got this one off the second hand, unbuilt. I thought it would be fun to try something quite small.... I'm more interested in the truck itself then in the tank trailer. Also, I've been looking for a Unimog on the cheap, and found it in this one, part of the chassis has been (sort of) built already, but no paint on it so I'll just carefully take it apart and start anew. I think I'm going to turn it into a camper, I saw a bunch of these trucks made into campers a while ago on an inpromptu campsite in a forest and they looked really cool. And last but not least I found the truck to match the Krupp Titan in my stash, it's a special edition (decals) of the Büssing 8000 S. I just love it, it's a huge box with a heap of parts. I think I'm settled for the next couple of years 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonaDawg Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Picked these up during our trip to Edinburgh yesterday. Two pretty decent kits for the price of a new Tamiya release. The GT1 is really nicely detailed. Don't know anything about it but it will be next up once I get the R35 completed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzled by the fact that it has two centre body sections? One is packed with the front and rear sections, the other is packed seperately in its own bag with a note in Japanese saying something about cracks in the roof section. This one has also been squashed into the box leading to one corner being bent and cracked. I can't see any difference between the two sections, they look identical to me. I just wish they'd have put the note in proper English so I know why the inclusion of two body sections? Also a bit peeved that the front spotlamp units are missing/not included. They were a prominent part of the Monte Carlo version in '86. The lenses are there, just no spotlamp units themselves. Looks like a scratch build project, unless someone releases them in resin. At the price point, with the photo-etch parts and delivery pushing nearly £70, I'm a bit miffed to have to potentially spend extra on 'other' bits. In general though it's a beautifully presented kit and I'm pleased to have it in my hands after years of hoping, so hats off to Beemax/Aoshima for releasing it!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gary, its applying them to my suspect paint job that's the biggest issue, used the airbrush for the first time last week the primer went down great the paint though was like sandpaper, I think I was spraying too far away and dusting rather than putting a slightly thicker even coat down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper645 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Thanks. I believe it should build up to approx 700mm in length. Plan on using it to display other cars in a more unique way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
