Tamiya Mini Cooper Monte Rally Winner 1967

Hi all, My latest. Its the 1/24 Tamiya kit. Basically its straight from the box, with only some holes drilled out in a few parts (steering wheel spokes, bash plate, exhaust and spare wheels). It went together great, but just like the real thing, you need small hands and fingers :lol: The chrome wind...

Re: Lancia "Deltona" Repsol 1993 - Hasegawa 1/24

I also have the same issue with Jesus' posts. I am no IT person by a long stretch, but I find that if you right click on the 'image' icon, then 'open in new tab', the pic will then load up. You need to do that for each image. Simple solution that works for me. Anyway, try that Malc and see if that w...

Re: Belkits Citroen C3

Looks great! Weirdly, the unfinished figures really don't look that bad and kind of suit it in the photos. Keeps the car as the primary focus. :idea:

I used evergreen strip to build up the gaps to a nice fit as I decided I could not glue these two parts as a singl...

Re: Gulf-McLaren M8d 1/20

Hi Jimmy, looks really good, especially in this timeless livery. :D Anyone who finishes one of these kits has done some hard yards. They are not easy. Mine had a twisted chassis tub also (which led to gaps between inner and outer tub), that required much work to resolve. Its great to see another one...
