Pete in Lincs Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 At the car boot sale this morning I picked up an Airfix Quick Build VW Beetle. Ready built (It's a Lego clone basically) the rear bumper was missing so I got it for just 1.50 GBP. The plan is to rebuild it as a more interesting Beetle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many decals... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Fantastic kit. Great kit, tough decals. Great kit, a bit tougher than Tamiya and decals a bit so-so. Great kit, bit trickier than Tamiya. (On the go at the moment.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy J Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Well I've found and purchased a Ducati kit I hadn't seen before.....it just sort of whispered to me...teased me if you like till my resistance was broken. Just shows what can happen when you innocently go looking for a certain type of kit and this pops up 🙄 Ok it's not a Ducati but unusually for me i succumbed to temptation. Still it's a mighty fine looking kit methinks 🙂👍 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The Chancellor made me buy it."Model Shop To Help Out" or something like that.😭😀 Upon opening looks a nice simple, quick build type of thing. No engine or super detailing. Any nasty surprises awaiting me? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankJ Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Bought my 2nd bike (Yamaha VX1000 Virago which hopefully I can do a better job on than my first attempt on a NSR500. I've sat on this bike in a showroom and TBH if I was buying one now this or something like this is what I'd get. I can get both my feet flat on the ground comfortably instead on tip toes. Suits my wee short legs perfectly, alas at 70yrs old I can't see me getting one now so a 1/12th scale will have to do.🙄 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Not kits but Nail Art decals. I have used these in various builds as they are about 1/24 to 1/25 scale size. Ice Creams/Palm Trees and soda/lemonade, Pepsi/Coca Cola/Fanta logo's. Ice cream Truck/Cream Cycle Trike. Priced around £1.35 to £1.75 on ebay UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
