Kitkent Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Ok,I know this isn't a kit but its Automobilia and it still needs a full respray etc. A heavy metal Michelin man that I picked up in Greenwich market,London yesterday.The Red Bull F1 car is a full 1/43 decal conversion that is almost finished as raced in the Monaco GP 2005- just for a size comparison. A bit scabby but he might look a bit nicer when I've finished with him! Chris. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Well, my policy of setting the price I'm prepared to offer on the 'bay and bidding over and over on different auctions finally paid off. I've been after one of these for a long time, and finally got it for a sensible (to my mind) price: That just about does it for the Fujimi Enthusiast kits that I've been chasing. Now I just need to build them... best, M. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind, still managed to spend money on sundry items that will help in future builds. I might have to go for a jolly to Hannants now.😥😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing anywhere near here other than Hobbycraft and a shop that caters to RC models. 😐 11 minutes ago, Andy J said: This made me lol 😆 😂 👍.

Now, older Monogram, Revell and AMT NASCAR decals, especially Monogram, are a whole different kettle of fish - they can often have the consistency - and user friendliness - of cardboard. On which decal solutions tend to have little effect....!!! 🤣 (for years I built no cars other than NASCARS, most of which are now in the great stock car graveyard in the sky, and I used to buy aftermarket sheets from the States from companies like Slixx and Just Want To Build A Model, which were excellent) Keith Just thinking about this Andy - I saw a couple of Petty cars in a NASCAR museum when we took the kits to Florida many years back - I can't remember 100%, but pretty sure the 'red' stripe might well have been dayglo orange/red - it was certainly much more orange that the STP decals.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information Keith much appreciated. As usual I just brought the kit for the box art and because it's something different to add to the collection . Research comes a distant second to me as you well know but I've already found the correct Petty Blue from Zero and I'm not sure whether the red on the car is painted or a decal 🤔. As usual I will open the kit and blunder my way through though one things for sure these kits ain't cheap 🙄👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just remembered where I had seen both and it's on Gravity Spain's site - and they quote it as fluorescent orange... https://gravity-colors.com/model-car-paints/106-16-gc-127/ Zero do nice fluo oranges and reds too.

johnlambert Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Another Tamiya kit that I've been after for a while. I'd sill like the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz 600SEL but I managed to pick up the S600 coupé at a reasonable price and I think it will go nicely with the Tamiya SEC and ESCI SLC. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy37 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Treated myself on Fathers Day with two lucky wins on a certain auction site . This Audi kit is only just coming through in this country , so I was welled chuffed to win this at a good price . A rather odd choice of rally / driver , but there are already a good choice of decal kits available to rectify this . And this was won for just £41.50 . I should have got one when first released , now it seems to becoming rare to find at a decent price . I really wanted the Roger Clark car , but beggars can’t be choosers !
