got one of those for christmas, the kit price is a bit of a con. you pay £10 for the model but once you have been to the model shop and got all the
paints on the list plus the glue etc your another £25 down plus its a very small model.
Anything With Tits or Wheels Will cost you MONEY!!

I/24 is a decent size for a desk model, I just grabbed a '56 corvette model off my window sill to see what it was and thats 1/24 and it's
about 7" by 3".

That's what I wanted but by the time I had taken the decision to go for it, the price had gone through the roof (£100+ now). So that one was the
consolation prize. think I paid £4.70 +p&p for it off the bay last year.

Just use the book and make you own. All you need to do is find a suplier for things like the wheels unless you can make them yourself (It's not
as difficult as you might think).

A few photos of a model of my car made from a Tamyia kit, very heavily modified, model adapted by my cousin who is an exceptional model maker
