The car looks wonderful. I wish I could find a 2008-10 Viper in snakeskin green like this. I have always owned a model of each of my cars through the years, but this is the one that has eluded me.
I've just won one of these on ebay for a good price, can't wait to get it done. Its going to be a 56 squadron bird with the overwing tanks on. My favorite jet of all time, and fitting im going to get to do one now i can actually do it justice. My very first model was the 1/72 f2a, done in the green 92 squadron colours and it came out horribly!
Very informative video. Loved the format too. I think leaving the footage in sped up with music allows us to view the process nicely. Epic paint job too mate!!
Man, this takes me back. Only in the early 90s,the 69 Camaro model kit was molded in flippin' Blue plastic. Was very hard to paint.....especially when you had nothing but the good ol Testors kit brushes. Spray kit came a bit later.
I'll be honest... I just dont understand why Chris is making this a transkit and not a full kit. To buy an entire kit, just for a chassis, glass and three pieces... What an absolute waste
I just found your channel. I just got my first mobius model (Tim Flock's 55 Chrysler 300), and I don't think I will ever buy AMT or Revell again. Yes there is flash and yes there are some awkward instances, but it is manageable without being an expert. And the parts Fit. But I will definitely be trying to find one of these.
with one of those escorts having a professionals tie in, could we dare to hope for a good quality ford Capri kit? to be fair I am definitely a Capri guy (first and second car were capris) but I've always liked the RS 2000 especially the Xpack version.
I'm happy to see the Mark 2 Escort RS2000 in kit form at last, and I have to agree with you on the old Esci/Revell/Italeri Escort rally car kit. I built it about ten years ago and it is pretty awful; the only reason I bought it was that I always loved the Escort and it was such an iconic rally car. Another issue I had with that kit is that I built the Revell RAC Rally winning model, but it had racing slicks rather than proper treaded tyres for a rally car. I know Belkits has done the Mark 1 Escort rally car, but the Mark 2 is long overdue for an all new tool.
Hi Paul, this looks as if it is going to be a great build, I owned a Mk 2 Escort way back in my younger years, sadly it was only powered by a 1300cc motor, my dream was always a 1600 version, looking forward to this build, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Hi Paul Great review, I also can't wait to start these iconic kits. Will need to place an order for paints. Chris is also working on a Flat front bodyshell and Harrier transkit.
Paul, I have a tip for everyone with the glass on their models. I don't know what It's called in the UK, but in the USA it's called Future Floor Polish. It is a crystal clear acrylic that self levels and builds up well with the light coats going through a .2 or .3 needle in an airbrush or can be applied with a brush. It makes the windows much clearer to see through and provides extra protection against hazing and fingerprints. Cheers from The Deep South, USA.
Thanks for your review! What a great product. I use cases for nearly every scale model. This is an amazing idea with the wireless LEDs. I hope there will be a european dealer for those products.
I’m already imagining future upgrades/additions to this product line. Recordable sound modules for engine/siren/etc sounds? Miniature motors for spinning props/wheels? Very, very cool! Peace and love.
This is a great addition to the models. Received mine a few weeks ago, I had a play around with them in a order build. And they work really well. Currently working on a build, which I'm doing front & rear lights. and a interior light aswell. D.modelkits should be stocking these. The base and extra lights aswell.
Its a very cool product. I'm currently thinking of how to combine these and repelling magnets to try make a levitating lit hover-tank with lights without wires.
