This is a devious plan to get me finally building one of those 1:43 Heller car kits I have somewhere... F-1 McLaren, Benetton, Williams and Ferrari IIRC, and Prototype/Le Mans Peugeot, Jaguar, Porsche and Mercedes... Although I´m not sure all of the kits are complete anymore, they are definitely unstarted. At least one should be good enough to try, so sign me in, please! V-P

  Count me in, I have a few Skylines/RX-7's/Civic's/AE86's/Rally Cars to build for this.  Are we ruling out Itasha cars at all?  I really wouldn't search for "Itasha" at work just because of what turns up. 

 

  Kind Regards,

Cool. Thanks Dazz and welcome. I have to admit that I needed to ‘google’ Itasha but they look very popular in Japan so I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to opt for that scheme if you wanted. Cheers. Nigel

  Groovy!  "Itasha" (痛車 - literally "Painful car").  They are meant to be an eye sore and only Otaku such as myself would be seen dead in one.  I was going to do a custom one, but I need to find somewhere that will print out high quality decals for me.  The scheme I am working on/planning is below.

  Basic skills within GIMP.  But you get the idea, of course the purple would be metallic of some description.

With the interest shown in the old Airfix railway wagons in the Airfix Golden years GB, could the word "trucks" be extended to include railway wagons? That would certainly get my vote. I could also join with some 1:72 / 1:76 civi versions of military vehicles which await my attention,

Hi,

 

I think railway trucks will be stretching it a bit (and the GB has already been stretched) but the civi vehicles would be most welcome.

 

I'll pop you on the list.

 

Cheers :happy:
