  1. Mounted the mk11 escort shell on my TT_01 chassis Ordered a set of mini lights plus period tyres from lhs yesterday I do love the body remmer I brought
  2. Checked modelsport and it say del date due april. That applys to a few other releases from the toy fair. Not that please tbh as I was hoping to collect my grand hauler today from my lhs but that date applys to that also. NOT A HAPPY CHAPPIE I CAN TELL YOU
  3. That's the best looking beam ever What car are them seats out of
  4. That's brilliant they are perfect thanks very much for going to the trouble of doing that what measurements would you need for the scaleing
  5. If it,s the clear coat that you can't get right with the airbrush then go back to a rattle can. Make sure you get one with a wide spray pattern nozzle that way it will cover more and faster to When I do my final clear coat I do lay a thick layer down tbh dry with the hairdryer for a minute dropmit onto cool blow for ten seconds then put it down a leave it well alone
  6. OK I went to radshape on Saturday and came away with a escort mk11 clear shell from rally legends. It comes with the window masks only. I need decals mainly for the the front grill The front and rear lights The escort and the ford logo's. Does anyone know of someone or somewhere I can get these from
  7. I've clear coated over the decals on my rough rider a couple of years back and had no probs at all you do need to apply more coats though as the clear coat needs to be the same depth as the decals that may sound a lot but if you where to clear coat before the decals you might only go 3 coats . if you are gonna use a hair dryer don't get it to close to the shell as this will make the paint/clear coat run with the force of the heat coming from the hairdryer
  8. No you need to apply them before u polish or wax
  9. Clear coat that bruiser shell then give it a polish it with super resin then wax it after to finish.
  10. Took a trip radshape to buy the rally legends mk11 escort clear shell very nice from first impression 2 cans of ts16 to repaint my lunchie A radshape front bumper for my sand scorcher Then got a great price on a bruiser and I mean a great price. Then went to my lhs and asked if they would match the price and they said yes So in a couple of months I will be the proud owner of a bruiser can't wait
  11. no i'm not pregadist lol
  12. Then you have to part with a arm or a leg for the postage;-)
  13. Come on don't keep us in suspence plz pray tell
  14. Arrrr know your talking the most iconic bike of the seventies I had many many off them used to break the coggle chain a lot then it was What ever gear u was in you was staying in until it got replaced. I wished I had keep one off them tbh . But I did buy the a new one when it got re re and it home is in my loft just sitting and waiting . They do fetch good money for a restored one If I had the money I would def invest in one
  15. Bmx bandits is a great film I brought it along with Malcolm from Amazon a couple of years back for the sum of £2.99.a buy I couldn't resist. I also had a Raleigh burner in red and it got bashed on a regular basis until sum low life robbed it
  16. I've placed order at my lhs for Grand hauler at £269 Aqroshot for£89 Dark impact for £129 Willy wheeler for £120 All a very reasonable/competitive price in my opinion. I am sure that will be the same in all lhs, s so I really don't see the point in order in outside the country
  17. Have you put a brushless motor in it cause I have in my stadium blitzer and mine does that But only when it is pushed by hand .
  18. It was yesterday actually but I did,nt get chance to post . Went to my lhs and placed order for , The re re willys wheeler The grand hauler The dark impack white version The aqroshot. Just waiting with baited breath know for the firse call at the end of the month Unless the first one comes earlyer as the tamiya rep told my lhs that a container has arrived this week and some of the new releases might be on it
  19. Placed order for mine last sat at my lhs got price today from them at £119 with i expected a lot more tbh just need to wait until end of march.
  20. I for one don't care what chassis the ww is released on or any other re re as long as those good people at tamiya keep on re re theses iconic kits. For many of us it will be the only way of getting our hands on a piece of tamiya history. I say keep on re re these past iconic kits that we could'nt get the first time round. I went to my lhs yesterday with a list to include the wilys wheeler the aqros the white dark impact and the grand hauler and if they come back to me with a good price witch I expect them to I will place the order for all of them and won't be able to wait until they get into my hands.
  21. My first console was the 2600 atari and loved it used to spend hours on centipede just clockin it over and over liked the smurf game also. Then got my parents to get me the spectrum 48 k from currys mine came with a few games the joystick tapeplayer and the bonus sinclair tv. To witch I have all in original packageing. I managed to get hold of a 14" matsui tv a month back so I can still use it.
  22. Has anyone thought of or has done any rc ice racing of drifting. Somthing I've not seen discussed on here
  23. I am sure I saw a can of paint remover in my lbs last week I think it's called paint killer by Carson
  24. That's great many thanks for that I'm sure I saw them on there last night but I'll ask my lhs to give me a price first as I ain't got a ebay account
