Six97s Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I have the 1/8 Corvette. It's not terrifically detailed for its size, but you could really go to town on it. That's why mine's still in the box... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six97s Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 It's very old school Monogram, the sump is moulded with the engine halves, not even a separate part. I spent ages researching all the fastener sizes and making a list of 1/8 scale nuts and bolts. Then considered the wiring and it all seemed a bit daunting so I stopped thinking about it. 🤨 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground floor will be the main workshop area whilst the room above in the garage loft will be for stash storage and possibly a separate spraying area. I've actually already installed the loft hatch and now I can start working on the main partition walls for the workshop area 🙂👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sounds more glamorous than it actually is tbh but I'm looking forward to when it's finished and I can get back to building kits again 🙂👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alteregoni Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Oh yeah! I found Tamiya's Peugeot 307 Wrc at 35€ in the domestic "eBay" called tori.fi. In Ebay those have astronomical prices. But in Ebay seller from Italy sold Detail up set on Peugeot 11€, bargain also. Edited August 9, 2021 by alteregoni 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the vette build though in that scale 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I got this one off the second hand for cheap. This is actually the 1981 new tool version of this kit. I built a later version a couple of years ago (converted it into a hookloader) and I have a 1982 release in my stash and now this one as well. You might say I really like this truck, and I do 🙂 .... One of them will become a little tanker truck, the other probably a flatbed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2man Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I recently did a deal with Paul H of this forum and yesterday the parcel arrived , so I'm now the proud owner of a Revell 32 Ford 5-window coupe and highboy roadster, an AMT 32 Ford Phaeton and a Revell 29 Ford rat rod . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbostream Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Think it is the third time I buy this kit. The previous times it turns out they were out of stock even though the websites said they were in stock but I am happy I finally got one looks like a nice kit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
