perfect plastic putty comes to mind

these are pretty easy to make, i did them for my 32nd scale buccaneer and tornado some cardboard glued to foamboard and hooks made out of wire

i love this old school scratchbuilding! we have been spoiled by all of that resin availible...

judging by a lot of statements i am not so sure about the other person in four years....

i do think the rest of the free, westen world has to stand together: canada, australia, newzealand, uk, japan, taiwan. the EU. adding these econnomies together forms the most potent block on the planet. not for war, but for keeping our democracies

i see you are using tamiya light-curing putty, yes?

Hi alexander, nice work!

i have a partial sheet, everything is there except the ones i used on my build: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/53843-seawolf-huey-finished/ PM me

WOW, nice work!

whatever makes you happy, i had a 20 year hiatus

old shool modeling at its best, my friend

i looked at all of the kits on scalemates, but they either have hubcaps or custom rims by looking closely at the movie pics, the wheels seem to be later brazilian versions, chromed (never on german cars), with the square cutouts if i would do it, i´d use the wheels with the hubcaps, there is just no way you can use a 5lug rim on a mcpherson front end without major custom suspension work only good option would be to scratch one rim and cast copies...

the revell 68 kit has the rigth rims, but they have the hubcaps on and seem to be molded on these are just clip-on on the real thing, so you can use these. in movies or racing they are often left off because by hard driving you can launch those into the countryside easily

ahem - i buid aircooled Vws for all of my life, so i just have to chime in: you use the earlier rims with 5x205 bolt pattern, on the pix of the movie car i see the later (post 68) 4 lug wheels with the 4x130 pattern....
