Trying to get a decent gloss finish is the biggest challenge. Preferably one without dust or hair in it too. It's kind of fun building a model of something we own so give it a shot Phil. So far, these are the models of some of the cars I've owned that I can find: - 1991 Honda Beat by Aoshima - 1988 EF Civic by Aoshima - 2000 EK Civic by Revell - 2002 EP Civic by Fujimi - 2006, 2008, 2009 FD Civic by Interallied and Hasbro. That last one is a Transformer. Just need to find a 1997 Dodge Caravan, 2011 Scion XB and and 2009 Honda FIT/Jazz and I'll have a model of every car I've owned. So far.

BlrwestSiR Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Been meaning to ask Martin. Which conversion did you use for the 262? Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 I believe it was Tiger Model set, I ended up using only the basic parts since this set was created to enhance "the old" Revell U-4 kit. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole suspension is quite alive with torsion bars and poly caps to keep everything moving. But since the schurzen hang down to the road wheels, there's really no reason to buy AM tracks unless there is some other reason they offend you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMackayDall Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 This is not exactly "my bench", more like "my side desk". Two glass tops on trestle legs. The items below are all now lost to view by the crowded top. On that "stash" level there is an un-opened 1/32 scale Tamiya P-51D Mustang just quietly waiting. The featured work in progress is that white and grey lego attempt at a Russian N1. I've getting closer to finishing that stage 1 (blok A) base. it's so often put aside, as I try to order and source a few more tiles and bricks. It's the same 1:110 scale as the recent Lego Saturn V. Next lego project is to make a mini figure scale TinTin Rocket, like the last image from Gronkius: https://www.flickr.com/photos/67516138@N02/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm comparing the Tamiya reviews vs the Hong Kong Model ones. But Tamiya does not do the glazed nose version, although I could build a butchered version. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a nice kit, not without its fault, but it turns out into a nice result everytime I have seen one finished. The AM I bought can contribute to making it even more stunning. I was thinking of kitbashing it with the Revell kit to correct the slightly too blunt wing-root radiators, and the Revell kit is a (free) part of my package If i can remember where I put it, I will add the Tasman vac-form transparencies, I KNOW I have, but where ? And there is no beating the slender looks of a glass-nosed Mossie Hubert 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
