That's an amazing collection you have there! Thanks for sharing! Any chance we could get some close-ups of those Japanese Kates, Jills, or Graces?

Awesome...

R.e. the Sptifre, it was painted in Tamiya Sky (XF-21). I can't make my mind up on it; in some lights or angles it looks right, in others it doesn't! Those pictures were taken in direct sunlight, and the flash went off on the top view one, so the pictures make it look lighter than it actually is. The rear band is a decal, which I agree does look very green, but the instructions specified it was a different shade to the underside. I couldn't find any good colour photos of that Squadron (601 irrc) so went with the box

My camera is not that good but I'll send a couple of photos.

Here I am back! Currently, I don't have that much time to be involed in kits, but what I do now for some extra money is restoring old Czechoslovakian car models, the KDN. (Wurger you must know! ) I buy them on Czech ebay for low cost, restore and sell 'em with some extra profit. This Škoda 110 Rapid Coupé is the latest one. Currently, I have about eight of these models on my bench, waiting to be restored and sold. Unfortunately, my camera is broken, so I can't take new pictures, but I'll do when the cam works again.

1) The real car - Škoda 110 Rapid Coupé
2) The original shape of the model
3) - 6) Restored status

8)

Hi Pisis,
I've though you forgot abut us.What about you?Certainly I know KDN.The models were the most popular on south of Poland in that time.They were very cool.

BTW this Škodovku had my uncle.A very good car.

 

[Pisis]

Pozdrawiam Wurger! No, I didn't forget about you, I'm just occupied a lot (school, work, social service...).

KDN - Yes, very popular. And nowadays, the collectors are willing to give astronomical prices for each piece (allegro.pl... ). On this concrete model, I made a profit of $15

And škoda is certainly a good car. It is my dream to drive a veteran like one of these. "The Warsaw Pact Porsche"

 

[Wurger]

So I can see you have made a good deal.

You should open your own showroom or museum with all those amazing models you have... I know I'd pay to see them!
