My Red Bull 7 kit is almost complete. I have applied all of the stickers to the main body and just have a few details such as the wing mirrors left to add.

Sky Rider Drone Pack 2
This stage was slightly delayed while I awaited arrival of a propeller balancer.
The First Propeller
It is recommended that you check each propeller and balance it before attaching them to your model in order to ensure it flies with greater stability.

Red Bull 7 Progress Racing Body
After cutting the body out with my lexan scissors I had some bits to tidy up that were tricky to get to with scissors.
Chevy Impala Police Car Complete
I finally finished a model for the first time in a while. There is still some tidying up I could do but considering my back log of half built kits its done for now.
I decided to build a police car after playing Need for Speed Rivals and its not something I would usually build. In fact this is probably the first road car I have ever finished.
I am pleased with the results and hopefully this will inspire me to tackle some of the more challenging kits on the pile.

They add a lot to the model and Continue reading Chevy Impala Police Car Complete

The long awaited racing body arrived last week and was found in my local green Continue reading Red Bull 7 Preparing the Bodyshell

Revell 1:25 scale Chevy Impala Police Car Part 1
This is something a little different I have been working on over the holiday.
I got the desire to build a police car from playing Needs for Speed rivals on my PC.
I managed to find a kit in the distinctive black and white livery used on American police cars in the game.
The Revell 1:25 scale Chevy Impala Police Car
I nearly chickened out Continue reading Revell 1:25 scale Chevy Impala Police Car Part 1
