GRUNZ Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 The gulf livery looks pretty good. Which paint do you use? Tamiya? Quote Cheers G "I am an expert at the top of my field when mowing the lawn". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the mini that I think you are talking about then no as the interior is part of the chassis. Quote Corporate greed is driving inflation. Cash, use it or lose it.

If you are talking about the mini that I think you are talking about then no as the interior is part of the chassis. Yes thanks I realise that , my mini has scratch built chassis and home made interior . What I really wanted to know is if the Windows would fit . I believe they will , I have a few bodies here and they look to be the same apart from the nose of course . Anyway I would still be interested in a couple of interior/window sets .

munter Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hello Peter I will include you when I make the run of the two parts and send a PM when they are ready....expect $AU8.00 shipping and some more for the window/interior sets.

pmdaniels Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Here is one I built about 25 years ago In the first picture it was fitted with a Parma guide , but this stuck out too far so was recently replaced with a scaleauto guide . rear wheels are homemade and fitted with MJK tyres . BRM currently make a suitable rear wheel . Quote PeterD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munter Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Not one of mine but a build by Dave West. There were some bits missing as I think it was jiggling around in his race case when he was visiting my area for an event. Scalex modern shell. The hubs were cut down 1/24 scale intended for foam but the diameter was right. I cast some inserts for it. They were the smallest diameter I have ever done.

slotmadmac Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 And we are here - after replacing the Milliput (which wouldn't set) with Tamiya putty. Very happy with the body but i did this out at the beach over the long weekend without the chassis on site. I'll need to shorten the chassis to centre the wheels in the arches. Should have worked that out earlier. Quote Podiums are for short people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
