Something new from Scale75...

€54.99 unpainted, seems reasonable
€550.01 painted, seems like someone is having a laugh!
Seems a lot when taken at face value, but it’s not really that unreasonable for the painted version Lee, as long as you get the box art standard. There must easily be at least fifty hours work there, probably more. That works out at about a paltry ten euros an hour pay for the person producing the dio.

Trouble is, we do it for fun and forget some people do it for money……I once worked out I’d have to sell my little blokes for about twenty five each just to make minimum wage……

The addition of a blonde, blue-eyed girl caters to the Japanese taste! - personally I find it creepy!

Yup.- typical american driver one arm out! Although the Weasel had track brake levers, so it must be stationary!

It’s throwing mud from the track at both ends, though :smiling3:

But yes, probably hard to operate these controls with only one hand:



Now, Takom, the M29C, please …
Hiya Jakko.Haven't you got Libor's M29C?
Never dared to build mine but still got the flotation units so maybe worth trying a mix and match.

I have, but it’s stalled because it’s so hard to build that I got tired of it. It went back into its box with the intent to continue later, but now Takom has released this I doubt it will ever be completed. The idea to put its floats etc. onto the Takom model crossed my mind, but I can’t because they’re already glued to the resin hull:

I have enough other kits to build that I’m not rushing out to buy the M29 to convert it, but I am holding out hope that Takom will release the C as well, or at least that someone will do a conversion set soon :)

I've used superglue debonder on a lot of resin and metal parts that I'd messed up.It does work.Loads of clean up but no major damage.
 
I’m not sure anymore, but I think I may have used two-part epoxy for it …
