What will you do for chassis?
Adapt a fastlane? ;)

dge, that SAAB was one of my first castings, a long time ago it seems, and I thought I should build one after seeing the great build Marc did with one for the Transam proxy!
Chuck, the BMW and SAAB are mine, but the Sunbeam Talbot was by MAF, who made Kev's Mercedes 300SLs, so a nice piece of work!
Peter, the racing cars will have plastic card chassis, but the rally cars will probably have brass chassis.
Regards, Lloyd.

Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2014 1:03 pmnext time use a white primer for yellow coats.
Re: Thought it was time to actually build some cars!
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2014 5:15 pmA red primer is useful where you want warm yellow and orange. Of all the paint colours yellow is thathw most affected by undercoat colours. Black primer will send it green, grey similarly greenish. White will give you a truer color but may require more coats for colour depth.
It may not be the colour that you originally wanted, but you'll have no fear of not being able to follow it on the track.
