the trailers i have a friend that works for an anglo/american bank that comutes to the states on a regular basis and whenever he can and when i can afford it he will buy and bring stuff back for me.
there around 18-22 dollars in the states.
he has just brought me back the latest snap on and gmp garage equipment as well.
all in about 300 quids worth.

the van would look good if you could mod that rear spolier to just be like those little eye brow spoilers (forget proper name for the rear) i.e just the black bit?

leecavturbo

here ? not sticking up at an angle or very very shallow one
.

alangti

that does look better well it would if it wasnt painted on lol but the idea sounds better...

as for the trailers mate have you got any pictures as i would like a couple of them if it would be ok next time your getting anything brought back....

i just got this yesterday but dont know what to do with it


its a 1:18 scale version rather than the 1:21 version i did have what im now selling..

also aquired these 2 nos bottles which i dont know weather to use them in my truck project or in my red escos track car??



and ive just finished my valvoline escos rims smoothing out the centre caps smoothed out the centre cap and wheel nuts...





any suggestions for the truck project??????????

alangti

i just found this if your interested mate its a spoiler that might look good on your transit it measures 3.5 inches at widest point...

if your interested get back to me

petey.

i think the lad with the wrc valvoline car wants shooting a model like tha needs to stay original imo, it does look a good job but im against it,

alangti

i take it you mean me lol yea i thought so to i just got the decals that had came off made by the man of here decal-dynamics is it i have 3 sets of the wheels so i dont mind doing this set i would of just done them normal but i couldnt get the silver right on the nuts so changed them i might put the other set on i only painted them cos they went all sticky and cream and i would of left the brake discs silver but couldnt get them off lol so now there white too.......it's all good

Hi all , there are some really excellent quality models on here , which has inspired me to have a go modifying the 1 18th Transit .
I have made a rear roof top spoiler from 1mm plasticard and a sun hatch from the same material.
Side windows have been cut out to be replaced with tinted perspex.
Not to sure what colour to spray it yet , but Ford ST orange i think will suit it.
The wheels and lo profile tyres are from a German supplier on Ebay.
I will keep you posted as the model evolves ...

Well, Ive finally finished my Arctic Blue Escort.



Ive added:
XR3 engine, EsCos wheels, large s/s exhaust, ICE, Porsche TechArt 'Recaro' bucket seats and matching handbrake lever & painted the pedals silver.

Orignally, I wanted to colour-code the bumpers (or black), have clear lights all round. However, couldnt find any spare parts so left them as standard.









May put the UT Escort Cosworth engine in at some point.



It may not be the standard of everybody elses (im thinking of the S1 RSTurbo ive seen on eBay), but I dont care. Its something ive done myself & im please with it.

Few things that im not happy with are that the ICE has lots of finger marks on when glueing & the angle / height of the seats.

Up next will be a Transit or Focus ST.

All comments welcome
