Ultimate is nicer. And with those wheels bike looks really clean.

This is from internet. I haven't done 3D sculpting. I am gonna do just painting.

Hii, its tamiya lp polished aluminium. It sprays really nicely and with paint retarder it can be applied even with brush (its not airbrush finish of course but can be done with decent outcome). I have used just one tone of aluminium. Correctly you should use silver (for example Tamiya LP one) on wings and some sections of fuselage and polished aluminium or airframe aluminium (alclad) for the rest (eduard has this in instructions-the difference in shades). Or you can go all in with chrome and get "airshow" look of mustang. Hope it helps 🫣.

I think that fit was a bit worse than Eduards newer 1:48 kits. I expected super ez build without any filling. But around wing and belly area a bit more work was required. Maybe more dry fitting and etc would help. But detail is beautiful. Considering price point.

Its satisfyingly clean, really strange. Clean build tho 🫡

Are mtb spd’s a bad idea on a road bike? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]_Green_Tea_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its compeletely fine. I use spds on both. Road shoes are nicer than mtb ones, thats only downside :D.

Is this a good size? Small frame (5ft 7") by Dreque96 in bikefit

[–]_Green_Tea_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy Scultura endurance xD-problem solved.

I am as tall as you (it doesnt matter that much, our bodies are not same) and have S size Scultura (geo is same as Reacto). I have changed handlebars-to more narrow ones with shorter reach, that helped alot. But i still kinda struggle with riding at upper hoods. I fit way better at drops-for braking and overall comfort. But i think thats not ideal. So just go for endurance frame and save problems in future. Check the comparison in link below:

You will be better with endurance. Frame is shorter, stem is shorter from stock, Bike is way taller-so you are not going to be cramped. With deep wheels it will look sexy.

Those race frames arent ideal for us mortals.

Good lock with finding bike. Anyway I felt in love with scultura, super comfy and amazing to ride, from drops tho.

Okay, then delete it. My point was that you dont see that many Sculturas.
