I only sell on ebay when they have reduced fees offers. Like presently I have an 80% reduced fees offer active on my account for the next 3 days. So anything I list within the next 3 days benefits from that offer

There's a 2018 rere Manta Ray on Ebay. Shipping from Japan £410 all in give or take, obviously you might get stung on customs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-Manta-Ray-/363712151251?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

If you know where the music is from then you also had a wicked childhood

Looks wicked dude. I've got of a backlog on kits at the mo so the Bigwig is on the back-burner kinda

That looks great I finally finished the Bigwig shell. I've not gone 100% boxart as I've used PS16 Metallic Blue. Original vintage decals so was a bit nervy putting them on. Pretty happy with end result 😊

I don't loathe the painting part like I used to when I was younger I quite enjoy it now, even with the mistakes 😊 it's nice to also occasionally get a precut and painted body too. It does seem as if quite a few of the new reres are precut and painted

Took a punt on this from Tamico as they are significantly cheaper for this kit. Just had to hope I avoided the dreaded Customs and fees and I did so all in £210 delivered. Super happy chappy 😊

Oooooh

A lot 😋

Lovely looking bug is that. Thanks for your input. I think the 490 is a good fit just in the goldilocks zone for me

Thank you for the tip 🙂

Quite a bad bleed from the blue into the white. Not sure how it got through the masking but it did somehow, not a major disaster and it'll be handy to have a bottle anyway 😊

Ordered Polycarbonate Cleaner (see 2 posts above) 🙄🤣

Painting a Bigwig shell. Praying I haven't totally screwed it up

I've got another shell on the way as well. My current thought is to make it into a sort of beach buggy, windows out netting etc with a different driver (wild willy perhaps)
