Almost certainly

Looking at the shipping dates and time of arrival it may get lost amongst all my hundreds of other Christmas presents but it is a risk I am willing to take.😉

Yes please

 

I was expecting Tamiya to re-issue all of the Rossi bike with him retiring  (still have my fingers crossed on that one) but the GSX-RR is as good.

So imo you can never have enough Delta's in the stash 🙂

 

 

Now I just need to track down the Delta in Repsol livery.....if anyone has the Repsol kit and might consider selling it I'd be very interested 😉👍

I'm a sucker for a Subaru Impreza WRC Rally Car. On it's way an ebay bargain by Airfix.

 

Bonnet lamps await! Or make some more!

After not having done much modelling lately due to work being unbelievably busy (and also moving house) I've decided to try to make more time for modelling. 

I had made this kit several years ago when I was much less patient (and skilled probably) but wanted to revisit it as I wanted to do it justice. I adore complex decals: naturally, race cars fit nicely into this. I have also ordered Scale Motorsport's carbon decal and photoetch sets and I'm also a few button clicks away from ordering a whole plethora of detailing parts from spotmodel in order to go to town on the cockpit and engine detailing.

I still have a half finished Moto GP bike to finish before I begin this one but hopefully this shouldn't take too long before I get started!

 

[Andy J]

So with the new modelling room moving along nicely I've grabbed a few mins to do some online shopping 🙂

 

 

I've got a few bids finishing later tonight so hopefully I can add a few more soon 🙂👍

No problem Keith I can do matt i have plenty of matt finishing products from my venture to the dark side 😂👍. In other news I've been chasing the kit below for a while now and I've just landed one 🙂

 

 

Happy days 🙂👍

[Vesa Jussila]

@Andy J Really nice find. I remember this Lancia. And it was time of so called super fuels and it was something to wonder for me.

Superb and I remember them on the stages!

I've not felt like doing much modelling lately but that hasn't stopped me searching out interesting kits.

 

The DB4 reminds me of the Monogram Maserati 3500GT, the kits look very similar in the way they go together.  It's been started but as far as I can tell all the important parts are there and there don't appear to be any terrible errors to undo.  The DB5 is clearly the James Bond car but without representations of the gadgets.  It's a much more basic kit but a cursory inspection suggests that it is at least a decent moulding.

Hello John,

Congratulations for these 2 Anton Martins 

Old but good kits. 

It's a shame that this company is so under-represended in 1:24

Good scores… the DB4 is definitely the same series as the Maserati, and probably the most accurately shaped of all of them (the E-Type and 250 GTO are pretty approximate). The DB5 is the Doyusha kit, also available in Bond form with resin 007 and Oddjob figures. The original Airfix Bond DB5 got turned into a DB6 and then disappeared.

 

best,

I can remember the DB6 that Airfix made shortly after their JB Aston DB5. Not sure if they modified the JB car tooling or made another kit altogether for the DB6 as they would have had to remove and change a lot of the Bond car stuff like the ejector seat and roof aperture to suit, the bullet proof rear windscreen shield and add a boot spoiler.

I built the JB one back in the 60's when it was released, but never bought the DB6. Maybe Airfix still have the tools somewhere, who knows?

There's a video build series on YouTube by a Japanese modeller of that particular GT-R.

A couple more purchases.

In one a recent Revell Jaguar E-type build or RFI thread someone mentioned that this kit was a fairly decent representation of a 4.2-litre Series 1 Jaguar E-type.  As it happened, this kit then showed up on Ebay for a fairly sensible price (although sadly not the £10.35 on the price sticker).  Now I've got the Heller kit to represent the flat-floor E-type, the Revell to represent the later 3.8 car and this for a 4.2, which covers the evolution of the Series 1 E-type.  It will also ne interesting to see how the different kits compare.

 

 

I bought this a few weeks ago.  The ZG is not my favourite 240Z variant but it still looks like a nice kit and you can see how it's been tooled to permit other versions and I hope that by buying the first release it will encourage Tamiya to bring out thos other variants sooner rather than later.

 

Finally, I've bought a few sets of these wire wheels and resin tyres from Moto Bitz, although given the kits I've bought recently I may need a couple more sets.
