Bigger as 1/8 scale, I'm building a R/C Ford Hiboy in 1:3,5 scale. All the building is visible on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/...d-135-scale-RC-Project/128373623894141?v=wall enjoy and merry chrismas!
Here is some 1/8 scale stuff i've hacked up! this thing has been stalled for ever! 41 willys this might average out to be about 1/8 scale!
Started a Sunday Models 2/1/11 thread earlier today with this model, but the thread has disappeared (?). A 1/8th '32 tudor body I am doing! A long way to go, but I am pleased with how it is coming out! Geoff aka whodaky

I'm pretty sure I saw one built up at the model forum: http://trakinscale.proboards.com/index.cgi Deuces, I also built one of the Revell bikes. I wasn't sure of the scale at first because it didn't say so on the box. Did some measuring and the front rim is about 2 5/8" round. Multiplied by 8 works out to 21". 21" was molded into the tire. Here is a scan from a circa 1960's model magazine. Wish I had one of these!

I've been reading about the Lindberg Comp coupe Dragster for the last few years.. Just wondering when this puppy will be out on the shelves???
Ya, We've all been in a hurry up and wait mode for what seems like forever for this to be released. I didn't figure adding a body to the current Exterminator kit would be such a big hassle unless they have other plans (wishfull thinking). Even at the snails pace I'm building at here I may get this scratch built one done before the kit hits the shelves. Cheers
It looks to be a glass body & if so, cut away. It can be glued back together if you make a wrong cut. This here is a hot rod website. that is what we do here. we cut stuff to make it lower, smoother & lighter. Make a restorer cry today, build a hot rod!
I have liked all scales of models my problem is I live in a small town and no one sells any here, even the closet city near me seems the same, no one sells them anywhere?
ebay! I've bought the majority of my 1/8th scale cars on ebay. You pay a premium compared to yard sales, but you have your pick.
I've been building models since the late 50's, and just don't have the time anymore, but I still buy and some 1/12th and 1/8th plastic and metal kits. Here is a picture of one of mine from some years ago, a 1/12th Revell 250GTO and I purchased a complete detail kit from Europe.....................it took about 200hrs to complete................not all at once though.
