These are 5b clones made by Rovan or Rofun (seems to be the same company), and its the most basic one they sell- 29cc. Yes thats the air filter in the cockpit. It was on sale for $351 and they had a coupon as well, brought it down to $311. Right now they are $420 shipped. I trust this seller, but id...

Only one way to do that paint job justice and that’s an airbrush. https://i.imgur.com/AHVIPYe.jpg The blue over the black does look like it would require an airbrush. If there was some way to adjust the tip on the Tamiya black spray, to get it to focus better in a tighter line, might be able to get...

Cool car, pre-bent bumper is neat, and nice you won't have to chase down the front wheels, but inexplicably looks like the decals aren't going to be any more accurate than what's currently available. Though... has anyone noticed the complete disinterest the AE guys have for the re-releases. Each vid...

A never been in production Masami race car is probably asking too much.

I feel like these newly added, out of stock items mean something.

"... it's a serious commitment..." Nah, not really. Like a good set of hex drivers, an air brush is just another tool in your arsenal (sorry for the mixed metaphors :oops: ). And, you don't need to spend 300 bucks to get good results. Go for it, man! :wink: :D :D I would really like a pro...

I'm just really happy they're doing a Jammin Jay replica! I think that's long overdue.

Ooo... that'll be all kinds of fun when it comes to laying the seam of the top and side graphics... right on a compound curve.

Do not despair, the kit comes will a full decal sheet so you'll only need to shoot one color. :D I haven't researched this yet but the blue sorta looks like Tamiya PS-16. Maybe those who have made a replica can chime-in and provide some guidance. That does look like PS-16 Metallic Blue. https://i.i...

I recently purchased the least expensive and most complete kit I could find, with the best ratings on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YNG21U https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91W2-svxZSL._AC_SL1500_.jpg Got some cleaner for it too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BN77JPWP I shoul...

Feels like a long way to go still. Side and rear windows left to trim and install.


Put in an hour today.




Another hour left to go.

Thanks! Same polish I always use on aluminum, lexan and now carbon fiber, Meguiar's Ultimate. I put a healthy daub on a flat sponge polishing pad and spin with a drill. To be honest, I really could not pick up the very minor scratch remnants with the camera, but I did try. Way better than it starte...

bA82-PhCNxM Cool interview. I know the industry has moved on, and tracks as in the video are harder to maintain, but THAT is what I call off road. The tracks today are on road tracks with INSANE jumps. I know the speeds today would never be possible on tracks like that, but that’s my opinion. Sorry...

I finally watched the full Jay Halsey video on the previous page. I saw a pic of my replica at the 9:30 time stamp. :) This one? Yeah. That pic is from right before I sent it to him to sign the body so it still had the black wheels. I found the chrome outer halves after it came back. Almost 15 year...
