Hi All

After seeing steves typhoon build on here it has made me want to do one myself.its been at least 10 years since I done one so fancy another.Not a plane though as they're shit.I fancy something like a rally car (subaru/evo etc) or just a performance car (lambo or 360 spider)

I'm after about 1/18 or 1/24 scale and if I go the rally car route they must have roll cage etc.

where can i get them from?

I've bought all mine from ebay, prefer the Tamiya kits to others as the quality and attention to detail is much better as opposed to the airfix car kits.

I've just finished that Opel Astra kit which was very good, kept me entertained through the Winter.

I've just ordered a couple of kits from Hong Kong, they're Aoshima kits so not too sure as to what the quality is like but they do a few kits which looked pretty good so shall wait and see when they arrive.

The only metal bits which came with the Astra kit where the screws and hinges for the doors.

Heres a few pictures of the one I did.

Its the first one I've done in a while so hopefully the ones coming from Hong Kong will be better.
