    Best Looking Ferrari ?

    not many decals with this one, should have painted the silver window surrounds first, so will have to get a smaller brush and a steady hand some time! The boot/bonnet/engine cover has a hinge to display the engine but it is a poor design and wont work properly and makes the two parts seem not to...

    Best Looking Ferrari ?

    Enjoying the build in the usual frustrating,annoying way of these things ! Interesting to see more detail ( usually errors and poor detail ) when looking at your own photos !

    Hello from NZ

    Hi Keith, Welcome to the forum :cool: Loads of help and info here . I am currently ( slowly! ) working on a Heller 1/8 BMW so feel your pain with instructions - the above answers are correct, I found the attachment of 'cables' pretty easy so far, if you have a thin tube to be fitted which seems...

    You have to start somewhere - not ashamed of it, commuted to work in London and took my girlfriend ( now, still my wife! ) on holiday to Weymouth for a week....... Started off red and white and I turned it into a black SX200 mean machine :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy:

    Heller 1/8 BMW R100RT

    I found this old kit on eBay, having owned one back in the 80s, I couldn't resist it even though it is old and not near the Tamiya quality! Loads of parts to play with including 26 for each cylinder! The box art shows a horrible colour scheme- I will try to match my old one .... Only have...
