Took apart Diecast model

So I am slowly easing into the modeling thing. I took apart a 1999 mustang GT by miasto today. Havnt seen so many screws in my life. The car is pretty much in pieces right now and I put everything back together in less then 5 minutes. So I think I will buy a kit soon :)

Pulling apart Die-Cast models = #1 sign you need to buy yourself a kit car


Been there done that.. Haven't gone back to die-cast since.

yup :) + You get more satisfaction. I think as my first car I will be going with an rx7 from Tamiya. Dont know which one yet :)

The first Revell New Beetle kit I bought got "assembled" in about 15 mins. I love snap kits! Be warned, most snap kits are much easer to put together than take apart!
Build models, Have fun!
:tongue:

:spit: :lol:

well I took everything down now. Only thing that is left is the metal body and everything else is in pieces. I washed the inside with water to get the dust off and dried it. Now here is where it will be the hard part. Putting this baby back together! :'(

I wish I had a digital camera right now but i'm buying one soon :)

Hehe everything inside looks like brand new :O

I need some help if anyone could.

The steering wheel fits back fine but where else does the long piece connectetd to the steering wheel go. Because I could turn the wheels before but now I dont know where to place the long piece.

Any help would be appreciated

there should be a loop type thing on the axel for the front wheels which looks like:

then on the end of the long piece for the steering should be 1 or two prongs.... put 1 of them thru the middle of the loop

well at least that's how my die-casts worked...

Oh. Well as soon as you get paid, I can guess what your going to buy.

I don't really mean to be rude or anything, but where do you work. I'm only 13 and I work at my uncles store and help out a little, pull weeds and stuff and I get more than you do. I'm not trying to be rude, just kind of weird.:confused:

Well I only work Mon, Wed , and Friday. Its about 6-8 hours each day and I work at home. My mom has an accountant business so I do paper work with her in the office. My dad is a lawyer :S. He gets home so late and just stays up reading law books or working on which ever case he has.

What will I plan to buy. Hmmm Well Probably an r34 skyline ;) my name,
dodge viper and a rx7 :)

I will try and get all of them by Tamiya
