I will do that carefully. Their last 1/4 Ducati bikes were very nicely detailed with many pieces of a variety of materials.. I built the anniversary edition. I don't know how far to go discussing models by other companies however on this forum.
-
I wish I read German. The bike is beautiful. The engine looks ready to fuel and run?
-
I am excited because the 1/8 scale Lotus 72D is finally shipping my way. It was a worthwhile wait.

I'm in on the Bentley blower although I have a Airfix still in the box.

I know little about planes but I do think your build is awesome and interesting especially the detailed engine. Thanks for sharing it.

That car is precious memory and most historic. Great suggestion and thanks. I loved that it was Ford powered and so dominant.
-
Good deal and does the job . Very nice.

Nothing I say will make any difference anyway. I am aggravated about waiting over two weeks for a pack I ordered months ago(per subscription) and paid for automatically. It took 5 days to receive a full kit from France from day I ordered it.
-
I suspect much oh the upcoming Mercedes Benz W196 is coming from IXO. It is pictured in their ads.
-
I am no fan of subscriptions . Too much waiting and excuses for this old cowboy. When the Corvette is a full kit it will look inviting to me.
-
I will have mine Monday. It is my Christmas gift.

The
plug wires look great. -
I found myself glueing the spokes just as you did. I ran a thin coat around the inside where the spokes are fed as well. I did this after all the spokes were in place. Once one was finished I gained confidence and the rest went smoother . I learned to keep a couple types of glue within reach long ago.

That is one I would love to see. I love coupes and that period is the most beautiful IMO.

I received mine a couple days ago. It was shipped from UK via Royal Mail . It tracked well and moved quickly. I did get email a few days before it came with tracking number. I hope you get your Pack 5 very soon. It is packed with goodies.

The Cord was my choice too. Great engineering and design.

I have finished the model and have no pics of the paint. I painted just the face of the raised ring where the wide and narrow sections are divided by the slots that the 45 degree bent spokes fit in . That part is covered later and does no show when the rim is complete.
The left and right are mixed up in the instructions however all the rims are identical when finished. I put the less perfect rim I built in the trunk as a spare.
I have made spokes from stainless steel piano wire of same diameter when necessary.

That bus is going nowhere with the tuxedo guy on duty! I have a feline pit two as well. 😃

I like the website and offerings. I glad you mentioned this custom after market source. Thanks.

Me too in the US. But that display case beats and aquarium for sure.
-
I use aquariums for many 1/8 and 1/12 scale builds. It can be placed over the model or a piece of clear lexan placed on top. I can be very thrifty .

I did receive the Shelby Super Snake book. I hope you get yours soon.It is real nice. I am waiting for the Jaguar book myself which is late however it is Complimentary. I am sure it will be worthwhile waiting for . You may have written Support but if not you should. It has helped me more than once.

Thanks . I will need to do that on my PC. I can't figure this MacBook out.
