Ever since Mike did his wondeful WWI Model T ambulance, I too have wanted to do one............. SO............. I just got one of these:

Going to do it as per box art which is the Polish army, France 1918. (assuming I can find/mix that nice blue/grey colour)

In 1:48, it's tiny at just 85mm long!!

Al your right, it is 6mm Styrene Addict. Show us your latest kits here. - Page 40 2776978727 I miss read the spec sheet Styrene Addict. Show us your latest kits here. - Page 40 3887228019

I put a .07mm bit in and drilled some holes on a test sheet of plastic and it works good as long as you keep the RPM low so you don't melt the plastic and with a nice straight hole so I'm ready for the dist. now Styrene Addict. Show us your latest kits here. - Page 40 2776978727

Nice hauls guys,

Curt, love the looks of the bike.

John, the 1/16 dragster looks cool. I have the 1/16 Funny car.

Nice Drill Press. I bought one at Home Depot for $100.00 that will take a .030" drill bit. Man you have to be easy when you use them small bits. LOL

Nice ambulance, Al - and it's made in a scale that's begging for a shot-up biplane with wounded pilot to go alongside.

I was close to my local 'model' store (mostly diecast and railway) to-day, so called in to have a mooch, as he does get in 'pre-owned' kits from time to time, which he normally sells at reasonable prices.

This was on the shelf at just twenty quid including a brand new and sealed can of Tamiya spray which normally costs £7.00. So bit of a bargain methinks!!
