Ozymandias15 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hi Shood23, Just purchased a rare Revell Dremel Grand Prix Model in 1/24th scale. This is the Spyker MF1 which was the 1st car from the team that used to be the Jordan F1 team and ran for one season, 1991/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I've wanted one of these for some time. I drove something like it on the farm for a couple of months, during the practical bit of my agricultural business studies. I loved it. Except when it rained 😋 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks pretty bad indeed, I'll absolutely consider that. We call it "double air" over here (that's a literal translation). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Or even "quad air". Or is it "octo air"?🤔😁 Edited March 12, 2019 by mbdesignart text edit 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , I thought that too , so I have one of those in the stash as well - got it from Hannants with 1/3 off as the box was damaged . I also have an Aoshima Honda 400-Four .

rs2man Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The other day I bought this cheaply off Ebay : I've always liked the MX-5 & have been toying with buying one of these Tamiya kits for ages . What a really nice kit . At the Stafford model show last Sunday , I came across this : I've always thought these big bike kits were too pricey for me , but this seemed very reasonable at 65 quid so I took the plunge . For an old kit it's really very good . Having looked at the instructions though , I'm now in something of a quandary - I'd intended to build it like the box top illustration shows with the black wheels & frame & silver engine , but you also get decals for the Bol D'Or 2 variant which has a red frame , red & white bodywork , gold wheels & a black engine . Decisions , decisions . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Szeman Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi Lads, I had a bit of a meltdown I think, I was at a market today and found these two and actually bought them both I only wanted the Yamaha but the old bloke at the market would only sell them together. He was tired of lugging them from boot sale to boot sale. I'll probably only build the Yamaha, but I need to clear out a bigger bench before starting this beast !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrope Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Finally got hold of a kit I’ve always wanted Never built an F1 car before but I’ve always liked the yellow Jordan cars. Bought for a not too shabby £20 posted 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 A couple of additions, due to me getting one year older... I built the Jag over 30 years ago. Used auto-paints, which in those days were Cellulose. Guess what. After a while, the paint cracked and looked appalling... Cellulose paint was notoriously brittle. I used Humbrol enamels the next time. Never was as good though. The Cellulose paint had damaged the plastic. I wont be making that mistake with this little beauty. Zero paints do seem a bit more flexible. Cheers, Alan. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy37 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I bought this off E bay on Saturday. Arrived today . I secured it for only £23 , a bargain I reckon . Box looks it’s age , decals are a bit dry but everything else is in good condition . I built a clear bodied ESCI BMW M1 Procar years ago . It had Warsteiner decals and has retired to the loft !

cmatthewbacon Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Nice... and a good price. I’ve got a Revell one which is going to be an “art car” thanks to a recent addition to my bookshelf! best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper645 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I managed to get hold of this little beauty on Hiroboy for only £17.99, an absolute bargain. There is no engine detail and I intend to build it for my Brothers Christmas/Birthday present (time dependant). We both owned MR2s a few years back and both still have fond memories of the cars and the show days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi Cooper645, I look forward to seeing you put this together. Judging by your other builds here, it will be a cracker. Cheers, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper645 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Popped along to the local car boot sale this morning and managed to get hold of the Airfix AM DBR9 for £5. Unstarted, all on sprue still bagged, decals in good order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Just picked this up from the Hobby Lobby chain stores here in the US. $17 after using a 40% off coupon. I'd say that's a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Inspired by 1/35 truck builds, I couldn't resist this one... The quality of miniart kits should be very good is what I heard. The kit is very detailed, includes an engine and also PE. Even the furniture is included, as well as the carpets depicted in the box art 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
