Andy J Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 18 minutes ago, Spiny said: Probably nothing odd in this at all, but I was trying to work out which of these two to go with when I put the bid in. The decals look pretty good, and as I was tending towards JPS anyway I'm 99% certain that's what I'll go with. May well have been - were you bidding on the one with the damaged box or the 'other one'? If it was the other one, then I don't know whether this will be good or bad news for you, but you were 25p away from the maximum I was willing to go to. The one with the damaged box but as they say snooze you lose I fell asleep and missed the end of the auction 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco F. Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Oh yes, I'll guess you are right, some work ahead. The'85 Turbo is interesting just because I got it in my stash also. Enjoy your new ones Marco F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I've got a used TAMIYA Yamaha Virago XV1000 1:12 Model on its way from the bay. Still not sure why..... Probably for use as spare parts in Sci Fi builds though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrope Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 As I can’t find a keenly priced Viper kit just for the engine, I’ve took a punt on a Bburago 1/24 diecast Viper to see if I can work the engine into a 1/25 68/69 Charger. Worth a try for 4 squids. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper645 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I currently have 3 WIPs, with another build to start today. But.....1 is on hold until post lockdown, 1 is nearly finished 1 is looking like it won’t take much longer and the one that’s starting today has a 1 month deadline. So the bluebird could find its way to the bench around June 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Nice JDM selection there mate I'd plump for the 240z first to be honest, but your choice at the end of the day Looking forward to whatever you choose Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrope Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I’ve just ordered the new Tamiya 1/24 Ford Mustang GT4. I’m not usually one for modern or race cars but it’s one of my favourite cars on Gran Turismo Sport. The kit looks amazing too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I have just bought - and started - a Heller 1/24 Honda NSR 500CC. It's just a bit of fun as I plan to build it as a well known comic book character's vehichle - will post some pitures when it's done - am waiting for a figure to go with it.

chrisrope Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Me again These came too, Motobitz wheels for my Italeri Escort Mk2. Soooo much better than the kit wheels and tyres 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Oh yes, the Motobitz are looking real good,a big and real good change to the kit's one. The Motobitz wheels and rims are fantastic, I got two sets of the Ford RS wheels... OK its the german name for them, but I can't remember the original name of these rims...

Motobitz do the 4 spoke RS wheels too, think they’re called Ronals on the site. I considered them for mine but thought they would look lost in the arches so stuck with the Minilites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
