BlrwestSiR Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I went by the LHS and they had the new AK Real Colours aircraft line in stock so I picked up a couple for my Spitfire. Hopefully they'll spray as nicely as their armour colours do. These also made their way into my bag 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Been wanting that 787B kit for ages. I tried to build it when I was younger and stuffed it up. I loved my Rotarys back then and still do! Miss my series 2 Rx-7! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 God, that's a blast from the past. My father-in-law had an RX-7 back in the day and boy could it motor. He also had an NSU RO80 (he had a thing for rotaries!) which looked wonderful but ran like s***. Worked about once a week if you were lucky. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved my Rotarys back then and still do! Miss my series 2 Rx-7! Me too, but I wasn't willing to pay what they want on eBay. So getting it for $50 was worth it. Model Factory Hiro has come out with a 1/12 version but it's well, a bit pricey. 9 minutes ago, GusMac said: God, that's a blast from the past.

Unless I do an LS swap on it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Oh I do Martin, but the wife might not agree to it. Funny thing is the LS swap doesn't end up weighing much more than the original rotary due to all the turbo plumbing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Didn't know that you had an Rx7 Mike! I had a 1982 Series 2 Speical Edition but it had Series 3 tail lamps fitted to it. It also had a 13b from an Rx5 fitted with a 3.5kg Flywheel and lighten driveshaft. The best thing it had Poo Brown Leather interior! God, I really miss it, and I wish I never sold it. One of my regrets. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you Jeff, that Corvette valve covers were not necessary , however in 2010 on Formula Drift Championship in Washington I snapped picture of this ZO6 Banzai ! And this S13 had LS2 under the hood. An easy way to get 600 HP 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the clutch was horrible though, so stiff that getting stuck in traffic meant a charley-horse in your left leg! Mine was silver with gray and black stripes, think I still have a pic (that one I posted was just pulled from a Google search). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJTX Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Picked up a Zokei-Mura base for my Mig-3. Tested it here with an old 109 I have. I immediately ordered 4 more of different types. These things are amazing! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just loved these things. They sparked a serious passion in me that still glows. There's so much untapped power in that engine that it just blows the mind. The Wankel, to me, on paper, is the perfect engine, at least for smaller applications. Done right, electric smooth power. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
