Jada (sp?) wheels.
Remember the 1/24 GT40 Andy bought to a meeting a month or 2 back?
IIRC you didin't like them...

I'm in. I'll be building the stock version (old release - purple car on the box) rolling on steelies with dog dish hubcaps. Metallic brown as I have a new jar I haven't tried yet.
Separate threads or shall we all submit to the same one?

Bit of info on these which may save some fiddley masking. The centre section of the grille below the bonnet opening is usually seen body colour (like in Bryce's pic). However on the 1:1s this was actually a colour matched sticker which was a factory option. AMT mould the whole thing as one chrome piece so if you're lazy like me you can not paint the centre and get away with it. Beep Beep 2 – ’68 Roadrunner - Page 3 Icon_biggrin

BTW i'll be putting a 440 in mine. With a 6 pack if i've got the bits.

One single thread could be fun - who's going to start it?

Fred - my kit comes with two engines - you can have the 440 6 pack if you want as I don't plan on using it.

That's interesting about the bumper - I had always thought that it should be painted but didn't realise it was a sticker!

I'm happy with one thread.
Just checking out some reference pics for no particular reason and I saw a picture of the earlier release of the stock kit and it had the bumble bee stripe across the bum instead of the side stripes like on the pro street version, if this is right, does anyone have a set of these decals that they may be willing to part with, not sure if I'll use them (haven't picked a colour yet), so only if you have spares, PM me.
Cheers

Thanks for the offer Bru errrrr Bryce Beep Beep 2 – ’68 Roadrunner - Page 3 Icon_biggrin
I had a peek in the box last night and the stock version has a 6 packed 440 (also has Hemi parts and pro street parts in it) so i'm sorted.
I've got those decals Tubbo, but i'll be using them - sorry.
Michelle had sets of aftermarket Super Bee decals on her table at Autochamps which I think were Bumble bees rather than C's. The shops still down but you could try PMing her through the other forum.
I'll start a thread in the Workshop if no-one else has beaten me to it.

Not sure yet mate, depends on the paint colour I guess. Let me think about a colour and I'll get back to you.
