JeroenS Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 OK so these 2 will be the last additions to my stash for a while... is what I'm saying now 😋 .... Like the Mercedes a couple of weeks ago, I bought this pair on a second-hand site as well. New in box, and for a reasonable price too, when compared to prices on ebay. I've added them to the back of my stash and they will be staying there for now, I want to have some more kits under my belt before starting on this lovely pair. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR918 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hi all, Finally managed to bag these two kits, both with the excellent Shunko Models decals in the box. I think that's my good luck done for the year 😌. All the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taglialavore Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 New to modelling & Britmodeller, kept looking at different models and mentioning how I’d like to do them... so was bought the Tamiya 1966 Beetle Kit for my birthday as I used to have one... and have got a bit carried away from there. I’ve since bought the Italeri Porsche 928 S4 & the Tamiya Porsche 959... and have just been given the Revell 1965 Ford Mustang fastback for Father’s Day think I better start building some before I get even more carried away and run out of room! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Another Aoshima Toyota 86 kit, this one the 2016 body. I bought the kit for the engine (going to add a cast copy to my GReddy/Rocket Bunny version) as well as because the car on the box art has the most amazing powder blue wheels. Just love it.

cmatthewbacon Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Is that a CAR or is that a BIKE? No... ...and be very careful what you do with it. If it's a 1:1 scale you can get into all kinds of trouble even for a model... best, M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2man Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Picked this up the other day at Affinity Models in Stoke I expected it to be similar to the old Monogram 71 Hemi Cuda , but it seems to be a much more recent tool , copyrighted 2013 . Really nice kit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It is a nice kit. Mine had a (very) slightly warped bonnet, but the main bit to watch out for is the rear valance. Other than that, it goes together nicely and makes a good looking model - a good buy on your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to go with what I wrote at the time since it was fresh in my head (or maybe I'm just being lazy😞 "The rear valance just doesn't seem quite right. It has to be added on after the body has been mated to the chassis, but the hollows to accommodate the rear cart springs are slightly too wide apart. I hollowed them out further to get it to fit a little bit better, but didn't dare go any further in case I went through the plastic. So it doesn't sit quite right (only by about 0.5mm, but it's enough) and that has meant that the exhausts don't quite go in right either. At least being below the bumper, it's only noticeable if you go looking for it." The pic below is probably the one I have which shows it best - the valance just sits a bit proud of the rest of the body. Probably nothing a skilled modeller couldn't fix, it's just that I'm not a particularly skilled modeller... Of course I may have just messed up the rear suspension, but I think that's one bit I got right. It's not a big issue, and the rest of the kit is pretty good so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

AR918 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi all, Finally managed to get myself one of my favourite cars of all time, a 1989 Jiotto Caspita. The real car was a neat bit of kit, all carbon fibre with a Formula 1 derived Subaru V-10 engine and those fancy electronic front/rear spoilers. All the best. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Afternoon Chaps Couple of new additions First up this newly released GMC pickup... I kind of like the new pickups etc that are coming out again like the Jeep Honcho and the Suburban. This one is suitably decked out with big tyres and a gun rack Something that's a bit on the naff side is that the camo scheme depicted on the box comes in the form of decals.... Clearly, they think car modellers cant paint their own camo Next up is this Volvo 240 from Beemax. Whats not to like And lastly this 73 Porsche RS from Fujimi I've been on the look out for an earlyish 911 for some time, and this one fits the bill, has an engine and quite nicely detailed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco F. Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The 240 is a real good kit. I got it on the table...painted it red to build a street racer out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs2man Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Just went looking for this thread & was amazed to find it's nearly 2 months since any of us fessed up to buying anything . Anyway , recently I've acquired 2 of the Emhar Bedford lorries - the long wheelbase tanker & the short wheelbase recovery truck . Both seem like really nice kits . I also picked up an old boxing of the 1/43 Heller Renault 4CV , which is a delightful little thing & reminded me just how nice those little Heller kits really are . Finally , I bought a 1/24 Heller Renault 8 Gordini . This is a typical older Heller tooling in that it seems nicely moulded but it's just a trifle odd in that a fair amount of it is moulded in soft vinyl . I can live with the seats , but the rollcage & exhaust manifold are definitely going to need replacement . Still , where else are you going to get a Renault 8 Gordini ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
