I really do have a lot going on at the moment, between my apartment refurb and 4 builds on the table... Great to have you Bro! I'm really not going to do anything...

    Allen's 1/24 Tamiya GTR...

    Why thank you Sir! Feel free to pinch as I nicked the idea of the tape from here anyway. If you have tape with a texture in on it, some Micro Sol might help sink the decals into it. I was afraid that if I used Micro Sol on mine, it might have soaked into the tape adhesive and the tape would come...

    Allen's 1/24 Tamiya GTR...

    Afternoon all, Been so busy trying to ketchup up with you all, I forgot to post up some progress on my GTR. Thank you for the comments and help too. Steve, these were Tamiya's sticky face type that you rub on and soak the back off. I can't believe they are still sticking to the tires... It's...

    I feel your pain, Andreas & Andrew!!! I have the same disease, but not this time...Postie dropped off a package that I ordered on 30 May. I had to wait until the container from Asia came in with the main item. It was 5 of these, Stackable and a magnetic door. These are a part of my apartment...

    minitnkr's MPC 1/24 1957 Chevy Gasser drag car

    Sorry guys, the pic I had in my mind was a blue Willys and it turned out to be the '41 Willys from Stone, Woods, and Cook. I had a model of it back when and it was from Revell, It really sucks when you get old and the memory fades.... Sorry for hi-jacking your build thread, Paul......Those...

    Look at the bright side Andrew. Now you can turn on the washing machine in the laundering room again and make enough money to buy all the extra paint you'll need when you build it!!! I went to a show at the Stammheim museum near us this weekend. I managed to get a few things and tried to stay...

    Allen's 1/24 Tamiya GTR...

    Evening Race Fans, Thank you Mark! I'm having a good time with this too... Thanks Stefan! I thought about yellow, but don't have anything other than AK RLM04 yellow and it won't mix with Tamiya gloss to spray. I can't see buying one jar of yellow, as the postage would be 2x more than the paint...

    Lee's Rocket/Missile GB, Oct - Dec 2024 Welcome and chat

    Hey Lee, Great idea for a GB and the time frame is perfect too. I have a kit I want to build, but it's not really a rocket or a missile. It's one of these, It had a pulse jet motor and had to be launched by a catapult to achieve the speed needed get the pulse motor operating for flight. It was...

    Allen's 1/35 Tamiya 6x6, 2 1/2 Tonner

    Morn and great to have you all looking in!!! More like perspiration I'm afraid, Arnold. The Italeri kits are nice and the difference is you have to build the chassis together on them, as opposed to the Tamiya kit... Me too Tim! The kit practically falls together... Thanks Dude 2 and the...

    Allen's 1/35 Tamiya 6x6, 2 1/2 Tonner

    Morn all, This will be my entry into Geoff's D-Day GB. A big thanks to him for putting this GB together, headaches included...I believe everyone is familiar with this vehicle and there were about 810,000 of them built during the war. They were used in all theater's of operation. At Normandy...

    Morn all, So true Nick. I wanted to start a BKG (Blue Kit Group) to throw Bob a curveball in his GB, but it didn't work out as everyone is painting their kits a different color... Great to have you along Bro! Hope I can get a decent result... Me too Stefan! Loved these beasts and the Subaru...

    With all the recent BS, I decided a little retail therapy might be good for my melon and get the Mojo up. Saw this in evilbay with a starting price of €139 and started dreaming about converting it into the single seat, float plane version based at Zeebrugge, But...Knowing that the prices for...

    Mr. Ketchup is "Back in da House"...hopefully...

    Thanks Tony and Mike and sorry for the late reply, but it didn't get any better lately either. It seems 2024 has been a really big :poop: year for a lot of our forum members, death and health wise... We had an incredibly hard evening rainstorm and the basement where I live ended up flooded.

    AGV Flak 88/18

    Hi Andy, The cable reels were used to wire the the guns to a kommandogerät 40, which supplied the data of the incoming enemy aircraft. This was the range out to 18 kms and altitude of 12 kms. That data allowed the FlaK 88 gunners to set the the fuses of the shells for firing. Also what Steve...
