if you fancy a skyline I recommend this kit: cgi.ebay.co.uk/24194-TAMIYA-1-24-Nissan-Skyline-2000-GT-R-Hard-Top_W0QQitemZ260096479155its a very detailed kit, heres one I made earlier ;D  Does anyone know (long shot coming) where I might get a model of my 626 Coupe? I have seen or heard of one but that doesn't mean that there isn't one, my flat mate is from Hong Kong when he goes back there he usually brings me back a few back. Apparently you can get models of all sorts of obscure j-tin. |

Nicely done there, whenever i make models they just fall apart  Whats the best glue to use? I did attempt roof chopping one a Rod. Worked ok but couldn't get doors to fit properly. Think i've still got it somewhere, will put pics up if it's found. |

I've never built a model. But this has got my mojo going for one.

I haven't built any, but I'm trying to find a supplier to get some sent over! Here's some more (definitely not by me) for inspiration:    By the way Mat, yours is fantastic! |

T'was originally a 1987 Toyota Carina (by Tamiya) but I decided to 'Boso' it with my own 'scratch built' body kit/flares/wings, oil cooler and fender mirrors.  Realise it should really have 'dished wheels'. |

I have been looking to supplement my excellent selection of magazines with model kits, but (as I've already said above) I'm having trouble finding a supplier for the ones I'm after...like these:  That said, I might be able to get some similar ones to the ones in this thread, and also (of particular interest to Twincamgti) get some wheels...like these:  I'll try and get some prices. |
