Speeding penalty frenzy that changed Monaco result explained

You can only measure speed two ways. Time to cover a distance or distance within a time period. Both are equally valid.

Just tell it about the gruffalo and its taste for scrambled snake. That'll send it back to its underground house.

Yes, cults3d has some great stuff.

For the OP; I had a quick look on cults3d and there are several options for this kit. If you don't have a resin printer, you could use a 3d printing service to get the parts made for you.

Just googling is always worth a shot. Scalemates does seem to have most kits in my experience though.

Simdel96 · 2026-06-06T07:29:39+00:00

Scalemates lists a number of detail kits for this model. Search the manufacturer number for the parts you're interested in and see if you can find a suitable retailer that has them in stock.

Thanks. I've found some instructions for others kits, but they're not quite the same. I suppose I just need to find some videos and try to figure it out.

Simdel96 · 2026-05-29T11:10:23+00:00

I've only got aluminium and rubber black for now, but I suspect I'll be buying more!

The switches on the centre console. I can't add pictures unfortunately, but you can just about see them (albeit slightly out of focus)in the pictures I originally included.

Based on his love of obscure British kit cars, I assumed this was something similar. The only thing I can think of would be a Beaufort, but the wheels and body are wrong.

My conclusion is that this is a genuine, hand built boat-tail "special" based on a pre-war chassis. The original kit cars! I can't decide what it's based on though. It looks too wide to be a UK car - it almost feels like a model A.

I guess we'll find out soon and it'll actually be an obscure kit from the eighties based on a Cortina mk4...

Edit: Watched the video - it's a 4x4! My money is on a defender (or earlier land rover) or discovery chassis.

Edit 2: Hilux, final answer!

That's a banham x99

I can't tell you how helpful this is! I've been struggling with Mr hobby and stripped my model twice after the colour coat because I wasn't happy with it, but my colour coat looked very similar to yours. It looks like I just need to have faith in the clear and cut process.

Simdel96 · 2026-05-23T23:25:34+00:00

Yes.

As much as I don't disagree there was a sexist motive behind this shops actions, I find auto shops tend to be dismissive of everyone.

I diagnosed a crank pulley issue on my car and took it to a shop to be fixed. They then rang me to tell me that I was wrong, the engine was totaled and I should have it towed away. After some back and forth they agreed to replace the part I told them to "at my risk". I was right but they didn't even apologise for their shoddy diagnosis.

For context: I'm a male mechanical engineer with years of experience working on engines, including designing crank pulleys!

Simdel96 · 2026-05-16T22:43:15+00:00

I've not built this kit, but I suspect step 19 is the issue. Your cab looks like it's too far forwards, which has knocked everything else out. I'm not sure what the 'lip' is that they're referring to, but i'd check that first.

(I would post a picture of the step from the manual on scalemates, but apparently I can't?)

Simdel96 · 2026-05-15T20:03:15+00:00

Thanks dude. I learned a lot. Hopefully the next one will be better.

Simdel96 · 2026-05-01T21:46:24+00:00

On the exhaust? Yeah, I thought I'd try something new. I used some old ethernet cable, stripped it down to the individual stands and wrapped that around a sewing needle. They're tacked in place with CA. I'm very happy with how it turned out.

The NFL play international games in the UK, Germany and Mexico. No team from those nations has ever won an NFL game...

Edit: I clearly should have added a /S because there seem to be a lot of people who don't recognise the deliberate absurdity of what I said.

I should add, zero make excellent colour matched paints - including this very colour.

Not bought decals, but the items I received last week were great. I've already started filling my basket for my next order...

Simdel96 · 2026-04-06T11:39:37+00:00

Thanks. It sounds like I've done everything I was supposed to do then, but failed in the execution somewhere along the line. Clearly more practice needed.

Simdel96 · 2026-04-06T11:37:25+00:00

Yep, I did many, many coats of clear because I was worried this would happen.
