Hi all just ordered this one, I love it when you can basically get free models ( from the sale of 2 models I can buy lots) its so difficult to choose though.

cool, I like the look of this, its too big for the 1/16 GB thread now we will need to also have a 1/12 GB at some point haha

Hi all my missus is going to buy me the 1/12 italari mefistofeles for my birthday not got the kit yet so not sure if it's possible, but I had a thought, the mefistofeles has a 21 liter engine if it's possible to build it so the engine is removable what would the camaro or mustang look like with a 21 liter engine in it, just an idea for a future project.

Seen that a few weeks ago, looks like you get a lot for your money with these 2 models

Hi all you certainly get a lot of model for your money here, this is what you get for 27 quid including postage

Always told her she can have a hundred, so far she's bought a dress.

Well I know I shouldn't since we are off on hols in a couple of days but here is a start.


I've cut one of the doors out, just the boot, the other door and the inners to go.

hi all an update on this, I am quite pleased with my first attempt at opening closed door but I think I need to use something stronger tan copper wire as the door sags when opened, also I think I need to move the hinge further forward to allow it to open further.View attachment 119245

Uprated the hinges, no sag now, thought I better check clearance on the internals before I go any further, as you can see only about half a mill, that was lucky.
