AliveBoy Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Awesome love it, post the finished pics up Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Also found some Volk RE30 in 19" which are also on the way. Was looking for the same wheels as on my real one but couldn't find them It's gonna take time as I want to custom fabricate some bits, like canards and body kits, might have to kitbash or polymorph it Quote
AliveBoy Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I had one which I made into my car but I kept changing things so it quickly became a mess Luckily it comes out the pack in the right colour for us too Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Here are the RE30, look pretty good hope they are the same as these wheels are coming from Hong Kong It's been a long while since I built model cars, Last ones I built was a R33 Skyline Clarion Trackcar, Toyota Exiv JTCC car, which I painted to be a streetcar and an Opel Calibra DTM car. Took me ages to build them but also cos I had to wait for paint to dry Quote
AliveBoy Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) I got this for Christmas, it's skill level 5 of 5 so I bet it will take AGES edit: forgot the picture Edited December 30, 2014 by AliveBoy Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 I remember my brother had that model. He even went to age the rockets with what looked like soot (matt black paint) And the scoring on the underside of the shuttle from re-entry Quote
AliveBoy Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 a friend of mine actually saw them both on their final flight in the states: The challenge is to get them completed before christmas 2015 Quote
pjf1985 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Looks awesome lol. Where did you order them? Been looking for some Enkei RPF1's but can't seem to find any Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 Search eBay for "1/24 Aoshima Wheels" mine are coming from Hong Kong, there is a massive group of shops in the Mongkok area, anything from model cars to RC drones and air soft guns can be found there. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 These close enough? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=231361568623 1 Quote
pjf1985 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 These close enough? http://pages.ebay.co...id=231361568623 Not bad actually! They look pretty similar, cheers Quote
GMballistic Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Will be interested in seeing the finished article BM. I know you posted in my old thread about when I bought one of these. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77718-anyone-in-to-scale-models/ Fyi: "Beanie Baby" display cases fit these 1:24th scale models perfectly for display purposes. It's how mine are displayed in that thread above. Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TY-BEANIE-BABY-SMOOCH-IN-PLASTIC-DISPLAY-CASE-/371170643099?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item566b7e8c9b Quote
BulletMagnet Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 The wheels have arrived The SSR's look nice, the rears have a deeper dish than the fronts. But looks like on these I'll be going Stance... :lol: The Volk RE30's came with Pirelli tyres that are normal tho, dunno if Ekona would approve, but I dunno if you can get MPSS in this size 3 Quote
BulletMagnet Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 WOT NO MPSS Actually, just checked. I have MPSS for the 18's that come with the car, so when I do take her on track, I'll be fine. Ekona will be pleased Quote
BulletMagnet Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 I couldn't believe it tbh, thought I'd check and actually lol'ed when they turned out to be MPSS :lol: Quote
GMballistic Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 ^^ Look's very cool with the Volk's I think. Quote
pjf1985 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 They look awesome The Volks could be a good alternative for me to use since I can't get my RPF1's... Quote
BulletMagnet Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) They look awesome The Volks could be a good alternative for me to use since I can't get my RPF1's... But they have too many spokes Will most likely paint the spokes on the SSRs tho, dunno if silver or white, too much chrome otherwise Edited January 10, 2015 by BulletMagnet 1 Quote
